Kawhi Leonard scored 10,000 career points today, and he has no worries about it.
Kawhi is a man with very few words, and apparently very little career reflection. For Kawhi, it’s about right now. There is no reason to start meditating when he is still at the height of his career.
That’s not a terrible answer. Many athletes don’t think about what they accomplished in their careers until they got closer to that end game. However, there was just a way of saying Kawhi that makes the statement special – he used that trademark deadpan tone. Even if Kawhi doesn’t think about what he’s accomplished now, that doesn’t mean he won’t be in the future.
While 10,000 is a nice point, the highlight is for Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers. Every single achievement in the world is nice, but there is nothing better than winning a tournament and Finals MVP. Kawhi has won both of those awards twice, so he has seen that real success.
The Clippers are hoping for the success Kawhi Leonard has achieved, but for their own franchise. In this tournament or season, they hope to make it to the promised land.
