Kawhi Leonard has notoriously big hands. We saw exactly how they work last night ahead of the Clippers’ first preseason matchup against the Lakers.
Leonard was warming up on the court in the Staples Center and running some drills. He was practicing coming off of a pindown screen and moving to shoot the ball on offense. But there was something a little different about how he was doing it.
Normally, when a player catches a basketball they use both hands. Because, well, basketballs are pretty big. But for Leonard? He’s out here snatching basketballs out of the air with one hand.
It’s insane.
Lmao Kawhi just snatched that like a baseball tho 😯

Fam. Buddy would be an elite shortstop for the Dodgers right now if he wanted to. He’s catching basketballs like that. Think about how baseballs would go.
It even sounded like a glove when he caught it. Fans were in awe.
You guys have no idea how tough that is… or how huge his hands are. The official game ball is slippery as hell

Can you blame them? That’s a really hard thing to do. And Leonard just did it with ease. But, hey, they don’t call the man “The Claw” for nothing. We just saw why.
