Kawhi did in 2014 beating the Heat who won in 2012, 2013 and also the Warriors in 2019 who won in 2017 and 2018.

Second blown 3–1 series lead in Clippers' franchise history and second such blown lead in five years; only the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns have blown two 3–1 series leads (albeit in a much longer time period). Third such blown lead for head coach Doc Rivers.

And it wasn't just any two players either. He beat arguably 2 of the next best players of his generation.

Tim Duncan was beating guys like Allan Houston and Jason Kidd and billups hahahahah

Kawhi beat the modern day Jordan and pippen in curry and draymond

What's the obsession with Kawhi leonard.

He hasn't touched a basketball since the ice age.

Jokes aside... Given the ages of him and PG, it's going to be a massive off season for the Clipps. It's put up or shut up time.

Better than 14 points on 6/22 in a Game 7.

2014 was decent.

2019 no one was really impressed, as Warriors missing 2 of their best 3
