Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers called superstar small forward Kawhi Leonard a surgeon on Thursday, and the two-time Finals MVP showed off his surgical skills against Denver Nuggets All-Star big man Nikola Jokic in Game 5 on Friday.

Leonard timed his spin move perfectly and finished the play off with a monster dunk on Jokic.

Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers are one win away from getting to the Western Conference Finals. Los Angeles has never made it to the conference finals.

Behind Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers are looking to make history by bringing a championship to Clipper land. A two-time Defensive Player of the Year, Leonard is also trying to make personal history by winning his third Finals MVP with his third different team.

Only time will tell if Leonard can accomplish that feat.
