Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard pulled off his best Michael Jordan impression in Game 6 of the team's first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks.

Leonard used his mammoth paws to pull off something of a modified floater, evoking Jordan's tendency to palm the ball with one hand.

Much like Michael Jordan, Kawhi Leonard has huge hands. There is a reason he has been dubbed “The Klaw.”

But Leonard also played like Mike on Sunday afternoon, as he took over for the Clippers in the second half against the Mavs. He finished with 33 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists in their 111-97 win.
