"This guy kills me": NBA fans in stitches at Kawhi Leonard using "wet ball" term when his shot is on target

Kawhi Leonard shared the term he uses on the court when he knows his shot is going in. Leonard, who is on his China tour, interacted with his Asian fans. The LA Clippers star was watching a basketball game during his tour, where he was interviewed by a fan.

Leonard shared the terms he uses when he takes his shots. One of those terms was "wet ball," which seemingly confused the interviewer. He said that upon release, if he knows the shot will sink in the basket, he shouts "wet ball."

Fans on social media are in stitches after seeing Kawhi Leonard's funny side. Here's what some fans said on X:

Kawhi Leonard admitted to nearly signing with Lakers

2019 saw the arrival of Kawhi Leonard to Los Angeles. However, many believed that Leonard would join LeBron James to help the LA Lakers become a great franchise again. Kawhi ended up joining the other Los Angeles team, the LA Clippers.

The Klaw revealed that he nearly joined the Purple and Gold.

"I was very close (to choosing the Lakers). Real close," Leonard said. "But when (the Clippers) presented the opportunity of playing with Paul (George) it was easy, it was a yes. I said let's get it going."

Kawhi Leonard reportedly preferred playing with Paul George over LeBron James. While there aren't any issues between Leonard and James, both players have been rivals for some time, especially during LeBron's era with the Miami Heat.
