Reigning Finals MVP and the hottest commodity out on the free-agent market this past summer, Kawhi Leonard has finally taken center stage of the NBA as a deserving face of the league. He's won championships with both franchises that he's played for, and he certainly does not intend to let his opportunities closer back home slide.

Thus far, he's still lying in wait for the player whom he convinced to come back home and play for the Clippers - Paul George was a Clippers fan back in his childhood, even though he modeled his game after Kobe. The Clippers are currently owners of the second place in the Conference and 6th in the league overall, and can only hope to improve their standings when they return to full strength.

Nonetheless, wily players in Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell, Patrick Beverley, Ivica Zubac and Landry Shamet are in the perfect position to deliver when required; watch and learn from their dynamic duo when the occasion demands that they do.
