There have been many instances where Kawhi Leonard has proved to be emotionless. However, sometimes even the best crack. Last season when James Harden made the ‘Klaw’ laugh, the internet was shocked. Now, another player was successfully able to get Leonard to break into a laugh. It only took one Michael Jordan in doing so.

Kawhi is an extremely determined individual and often keeps quiet for the most part. He isn’t the most vocal superstar in the league and that hasn’t changed even when he got to LA. His sole focus goes towards his game, something similar to how Jordan approached his basketball. But what happens when both of them are together in one room?

During the NBA 75 ceremony, Kawhi and Michael got the opportunity to meet, and it is safe to say they had a good time.

Michael Jordan does the impossible?

With the NBA celebrating its 75th anniversary, the top 75 players received their honor with a ceremony during the All-Star game. The Cleveland arena was packed full of legends. Unsurprisingly, both Michael Jordan and Kawhi made it to the list of the top 75 greatest players in the league. However, what took most fans by surprise was when a photo of the two superstars laughing came to the surface.

Kawhi and Jordan have a lot of common points in their game. Both the stars ruled the league with their dominant two-way play. While MJ came in with one of the most skilled offensive players, a young Leonard took his time to grow. However, after developing his offensive game, the ‘Klaw’ soon became one of the best players in the league.

Similar to Jordan, Leonard is the master of the mid-range shot. He is one of the few players who keep the old art of mid-range alive as he dazzles most oppositions. But this season, the ‘Klaw’ has been missed by the league. After a dominating stretch in the playoffs last season, Leonard picked up an ACL injury during the series against the Jazz. Since then, Kawhi is yet to play and there is a chance he misses the entire 2021-22 season.
