5 Modern NBA players still true to their position

Small Forward (3) - Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard is one of those players nobody really saw coming. He's been the best two-way player in the league for some time now. How many players today work on their defence from day one? However, the best thing about him or perhaps his game is that it resembles that of the greats of the game. He has modeled his game after Kobe Bryant, who in turn crafted his game after Michael Jordan.

Kawhi has been mastering the basics of the game, one at a time. Aspects of the game, posting up, creating your own shot, being a pest on defense are seldom given enough attention today and that is where Kawhi works the most. The scary thing about him is that he hasn't even hit his prime yet. These first few years of his career are nothing but a prelude to what's about to come. After being in MVP talks for the last couple seasons, he might finally win it this season. Brace yourselves for the Klaw!
