Toronto Raptors superstar small forward Kawhi Leonard is the first player in NBA history to average at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three made 3-pointers through the first four games of an NBA Finals series.
After scoring 36 points in the Game 4 win on Friday at Oracle Arena over the Golden State Warriors, Leonard is now averaging 30.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game in the Finals while shooting 45.2 percent from the field, 40.0 percent from beyond the arc, and 93.8 percent from the free-throw line.
The Raptors star is making the game of basketball look way too easy and it's been a joy to watch him play.

It's incredible how Leonard is dominating the Warriors on seemingly one leg. The three-time All-Star and two-time Defensive Player of the Year is still dealing with tendinitis in his left knee. The Raptors are hoping they can finish the series off in Game 5 on Monday so Leonard has a longer summer to rest his body.
After only playing in nine games last season with the San Antonio Spurs, everyone in the basketball world wanted to know what version of Leonard will show up this season. The 27-year-old showed right at the beginning of the season he's still one of the best basketball players in the world.
Even if Leonard leaves the Raptors this summer in free agency, the trade was still worth it for Toronto. They are on the verge of winning an NBA championship for the first time in franchise history.
