Kawhi Leonard is well known for his quiet demeanor and cryptic attitude, both on and off the court. He was the same old Kawhi during the Los Angeles Clippers' groundbreaking ceremony for their new arena, but his choice of apparel went off tangent from his usual brand.
The Clippers star was seen rocking a hoodie featuring his savage dunk over Maxi Kleber during their first-round win over the Dallas Mavericks last playoffs.

Clippers fans have probably seen this highlight a hundred times over. But it's worth revisiting whenever it comes up. Right at the tail end of it was when Kawhi, Paul George, and Marcus Morris were captured flexing on the Mavs big man.
The Twitterverse was also quick to react to the Clippers star's wardrobe shade.

When it comes to Kawhi Leonard, that's the closest you'll ever get to actual trash talk. Kleber was cut out of the clip, but the Clippers star must have known people would remember which play that was from.
The Clippers are set to move to their new arena, the Intuit Dome, in the 2024-25 season, finally separating from their city rival Los Angeles Lakers. Here's to hoping Kawhi Leonard can make some new memories there that he can also wear on a future hoodie.
