Despite all of his current obligations, Kawhi Leonard seems to be monitoring Paul George. George recently competed against streetball icon Bai Jing in the Star Street 1v1 Battle while on a tour of Asia. The score of the game was 101 points. Although the Boston Celtics great prevailed, he conceded 60 points.
After seeing the news, Leonard appeared unimpressed with his former colleague, who has been selected to four NBA All-Defensive teams. As Leonard put it:
“What is this?” “This guy’s over here playing pros, and he scored 60 points on Paul George? Who is this? What is this?
“Man, there’s no way he’s going to score 10 points on me. I’ll lock this dude up. He looks trash.”
Kawhi Leonard FRIED Paul George for letting a Chinese street baller drop 60 on him 😭

The fact that Leonard is embarking on his own tour of Asia is perhaps worth mentioning at this point.
Since it’s likely a promotion for his own matchup with Bai Jing, this doesn’t seem like the most genuine response—many have quipped that the video must be AI.
If that’s the case, we’ll soon see if Leonard outperforms George against the legendary streetball player.
