2019 NBA Champion Kawhi Leonard | Ezra Shaw\/Getty Images[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter two seasons with the San Diego Aztecs, including domination over the Mountain West Conference, Kawhi Leonard entered the 2011 NBA Draft<\/a>. The Indiana Pacers chose him 15th overall before trading him to the Spurs. In San Antonio<\/a>, the LA native made two NBA Finals appearances, winning the second and earning NBA Finals MVP.\r\n\r\nJoining the Toronto Raptors<\/a> in 2018, Leonard emerged as a strong leader, resulting in the franchise's first championship win and earning him a second Finals MVP. The 2015 and 2016 Defensive Player of the Year signed with the Clippers in free agency. Several injuries have hampered<\/a> Leonard's recent efforts in LA. Regardless, in August 2021, the 30-year-old signed a max four-year, $176.3 million contract with the Clippers.<\/sup>\r\n
