Kawhi Leonard is the Toronto Raptors superstar. He has secured a place in NBA playoff history with the buzzer beater shot that we just cannot stop watching.

He is a fascinating athlete because he gives so little away about himself. Here are a few things about him that I found interesting…

He turns 28 on June 29th.

He is 6’7”, 230 pounds.

He was born in LA, California.

He missed most of last season with the San Antonio Spurs due to a leg injury.

He has four older sisters!

He is known for calling his parents and coaches, sir and ma’am.

His father was shot and killed while working at the car wash he owned in 2008, while Kawhi was still in high school.

He is a very private person. No kidding!

He has a girlfriend (possibly his wife, but not confirmed) named Kishele Shipley and they have 2 children together.

Let’s go, Raptors!

Will you be watching!?

A bit more…here is the shot missed by Vince Carter back in 2001, game 7, vs the 76ers. Hard to watch.
