He ended up playing football at Carson High, which was our cross town rival, Banning High. Banning ended up winning 6 Straight L.A. CITY Football TITLES back then. I'll never forget the day I heard Mark was murdered at his Compton Car Wash. Stunned!! Everytime I look at Kawhi, I see Mark. It's uncanny. That is definitely his son. Which totally makes me smile.😁 Just so sorry that he can't share in his son's superstar success. Peace and Love to EVERYTHING that Kawhi is involved in. I wish him all the best. Thank you for living on with an exceptional career with you father's name. It is so cool watching you in his memory. Continue to make him proud.

"buried his feelings along with his dad" As someone who was guided by his Dad his whole life and sees his own Dad as his hero I'd probably rarely ever talk again if this happened to me. Also I would never leave that court ever again as basketball is one of the only things that keep me sane

Kawhi, being quiet only means that he is a deep thinker! Also, losing his father; whom was his mentor, best friend and confidant would be enough to make me silent! Still Waters Run Deep! He is by far, my favorite Basketball Player! 👍🏀👍

Do you guys think Kawhi Leonard's personality would be much different if it was not for the unfortunate circumstances surrounding his life? Where does he rank in your list of the greatest NBA players of our time? Top 10? 50? 100?!
Kawhi and the Raptors are going to beat GOLDEN State Warriors in the Finals. Kawhi wants his revenge against GSW. They injured Kawhi after they figured they could not beat the Spurs while Kawhi was playing. Spurs would have been in the NBA Finals that year. KD would have looked bad for getting beat by the Spurs on a super team. Warriors and KD are scared to play against Kawhi.
Been following Kawhi since 2009 when he came to San Diego State. That 34-3 season in 2010/11 was something special. Should've won the championship that year.
We completely agree with you! If you don't mind us asking, what is it that you loved most about the video/channel? Also, are there any topics/interesting stories that you would like for us to cover? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!
they were 34-3 because they are in the Mountain West Conference... and didn't they lose in the Sweet 16?? I mean if they at least made it to the final four then i could see your point
@@Coachlen24 The MWC was actually one of the top conferences in the country that year with several teams ranked. And yes they lost in the Sweet 16...to Uconn in a close game, who then won the championship.
it's a fake story he grew up in moreno valley ca not ghetto. While his dad lived apart from him. It was his dad that lived in the ghetto was still in his life though and He owned a car wash in los angeles . He went to canyon springs high school for 9 grade and 10 grade but played football during his 9 grade year as a SS/WR and only reason he did not play basketball 9 grade is because of the coach did not allow him because he showed up days late for try outs so this is why he played football for his 9 grade year. In his 10 grade year he played basketball but after 10 grade his family did not like the coach and he transferred to riverside king high school for 11 and 12 grade and then went on to play at san deigo state.
Indiana didn't even draft him.They weren't going to pick him at 15 since the spurs told them who to draft since they were trading the pick. they most likely would have drafted Corey Joseph, they wanted a PG hence the reason they traded the pick. they almost traded PG for George hill the year before too
He destroyed my heart when it was decided he was leaving S.A. but I fine myself rooting for Toronto because of him. He was a favorite player on my favorite team but now I follow him more than I do the spurs. It's crazy I sided with him in the S.A. situation. Great video

Actions speak louder than words, they always have, they always will. Thankfully, Kawhi's father had enough time to instill a work ethic in Kawhi that is worthy of helping influence the direction of every young person today. I'm a Raptors fan, and after seeing him at the end of the Hornets game, standing with team mates, smiling and applauding his team on the floor, I really hope he stays. From every angle, Kawhi just looks like a good fit.

@@NBAInsider I enjoyed getting to know Kawhi a little bit. Usually when i hear something about a player it comes from the bias of another sports figure who acts like they know more than the other 3 or 4 people at the desk, or the player him/herself. Why do these news shows and pregame shows(NFL in particular) need like 4 5 or 6 explayers and coaches to say basically the same shit just using different words anyway?Its all scripted, so give all the pages to 2 guys and let them read everything. Back on topic, I know they have facts and stats I don't but it just gives some of these people the opportunity to praise the almighty state of California and in the same breath mention Toronto like it's an old nuclear testing site. I just hope Kawhi's father also taught him to recognize and enjoy a good thing when you've got it. Kawhi will go to no other team, with T.O.'s potential or more and be the king. He'll be in some other hotdog's shadow, always, the hotdog will see to that. More money, brighter lights? Perhaps, at the cost of losing your own person. Obviously , this is my biased, but Kawhi staying in Toronto will keep his soul solid and have other elite players on other teams look at their surroundings and maybe think , "this place sucks, and most of these people are no good pricks!" One topic I really would like to see covered is the intro of the 3pt arc into the league. The reasons for and variables that affected the decision making. I only remember the NBA with the arc. In its day it would seem to me that a 3pt shot would be a pretty big deal, with the steadfasts saying it will never work and so on. Anyway thanks for replying because I have no web site or facebook shit so I didn't even know if by comments were even viewed by anyone.

Wait a minute! Everyone seems obsessed about how quiet Kawhi Leonard is! Kawhi grew up in a household of FIVE women, no men! His household consisted of four older sisters and his mother. I am a female and I am here to ask,,,when could Kawhi ever get a word in edgewise? Does anyone have an answer to this question?

Lifelong Warriors fan and huge fan of Kawhi. Can't ask for much more for this year's NBA Finals. Proving by example that us quiet introverts are also capable of greatness. Much love!
Shocking Truth is he's a normal type guy that play's at the highest level of the NBA and he's rich, I'm not talking wealthy here. I'm using the word rich the proper way. He keeps gaining quality's others abuse. Never give up and most of all, "Never Surrender" Pretty Inspirational vid.
It's a quite a trip seeing this. I went to elementary and middle school with Kawhi. I didn't really interact with him much but I usually saw him on the black top doing his thing as a 8 to 13 yr old. Everybody that played with him or watched him as a kid knew he would do great things. I just think it's pretty awesome to see someone you saw pretty much everyday as a kid to be living out what a lot of people saw coming and believed in. I was so happy to see him on the front of my newspaper when he made his presence known in the nba. You could feel the excitement and all the love our city had at the moment. I never rooted for the spurs or raptors but man how could I not. It all feels like something out of a movie with a hometown hero feel. All in all I'm pretty blessed to step on the same courts as he did all those years ago.
Kawhi is an excellent example of a professional athlete. He reminds me of humble guys like Alex English, Jamaal Wilkes, Joe Dumars and AC Green rolled into one person.

Does one have to talk all the time, express their emotions every minute without people leaving them alone, jeez. This man is so humble, a warrior, a very good player who does his part of the job. People are judging not only him, but others usually. It is disgusting. Instead of embracing the person for what they are, they are making fun of him. Stay strong, Kawhi.
@TP-Series You misunderstood! He is a great player but he shoots a lot 3p! 237/643. Joe Harris has 183/386 3p, Danny Green 198/435, Danilo Gallinari 161/372 are more effective 3p shooters because they don't shoot a lot! He has to improve his %. Luka Doncic is also another future super star!
I knew very few of this guy. I consider myself a quiet guy as well. Now I have another inspiration in Kawhi's life style. A lot of respect for him sticking to his beliefs and personality.

Wow!! Words can’t describe how I feel about hearing news about Kawhi’s dad. I have much love and respect for his drive to make his dad extremely proud. ❤️❤️❤️

He's the kind of dude I respect the most. Not flashy, not an attention seeker, just gets on with his business.. So sad injury has robbed us of seeing him as much as we should have. Don't know much longer he will stay in the game due to his injuries but I'm appreciative of what he has done..

Kawhi, being quiet only means that he is a deep thinker! Also, losing his father; whom was his mentor, best friend and confidant would be enough to make me silent! Still Waters Run Deep! He is by far, my favorite Basketball Player! 👍🏀👍
He listens more than he talks
He just humble. Why talk, when your actions can do all the talking?
True!! Certain experiences make you become more observant!
His dad help tipped that dagger-winning-shot game 7 vs 76ers.
i thought the same thing... lol
Amazing! 🙏
I said the same thing.
That was amazing!
Pathetic
The media always looks for the worst in a person...he is the true definition of a professional athlete
Merq Walker exactly
This vid almost made me kawhi
U have the sense of humour man ! Nailed it 😁
Caught me off guard with that one, lmao!😆😆😆😆
Underrated comment deserves 20k
Mad respect for the Chevy Tahoe
Idk why he said that part, Kawhi was driving a Porsche his first year at San Antonio. Rightfully so, he earned it.
Zach are you sure about that ? because Skip Bayless is the one that reported that as of last year he still drives the Tahoe he said it the other day on Fox Sports news
Zach and I believe Shannon Sharpe also said it was the Tahoe and only other vehicle was definitely not a Porsche if I’m wrong please cite the URL
Sorry for the late response, but we really wanted to thank you watching the video and supporting the channel.

The Tahoe was the same car he had in highschool plus his dad brought it for him
Do you guys think Kawhi Leonard's personality would be much different if it was not for the unfortunate circumstances surrounding his life?
Where does he rank in your list of the greatest NBA players of our time? Top 10? 50? 100?!
NBA Insider to me kawhi has made a name in the nba winning dpoy and winning a championship
I have him around 60-70 in the top 100.
Top 1 in my favorites
NBA Insider top 10
NBA Insider top 5
Who here after game 6 of NBA CONFERENCE FINALS
Me
@Go Sixers im pretty sure the raps won
yeah, sorry to break it to y’all, but the raptors probably won’t win against golden state.
Kawhi and the Raptors are going to beat GOLDEN State Warriors in the Finals. Kawhi wants his revenge against GSW. They injured Kawhi after they figured they could not beat the Spurs while Kawhi was playing. Spurs would have been in the NBA Finals that year. KD would have looked bad for getting beat by the Spurs on a super team. Warriors and KD are scared to play against Kawhi.
Jr Kularatne meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Been following Kawhi since 2009 when he came to San Diego State. That 34-3 season in 2010/11 was something special. Should've won the championship that year.
Yes, if they play off of Kawhi more like how they should of the year that they won the championship

they were 34-3 because they are in the Mountain West Conference... and didn't they lose in the Sweet 16?? I mean if they at least made it to the final four then i could see your point
@@Coachlen24 The MWC was actually one of the top conferences in the country that year with several teams ranked. And yes they lost in the Sweet 16...to Uconn in a close game, who then won the championship.
I have so much respect for Kawhi - this explains so much. Amazing player.
it's a fake story he grew up in moreno valley ca not ghetto. While his dad lived apart from him. It was his dad that lived in the ghetto was still in his life though and He owned a car wash in los angeles . He went to canyon springs high school for 9 grade and 10 grade but played football during his 9 grade year as a SS/WR and only reason he did not play basketball 9 grade is because of the coach did not allow him because he showed up days late for try outs so this is why he played football for his 9 grade year. In his 10 grade year he played basketball but after 10 grade his family did not like the coach and he transferred to riverside king high school for 11 and 12 grade and then went on to play at san deigo state.
The dumbest move Indiana ever made..
Can you imagine Paul George and Kawhi Leonard on that Pacers team.
At that time Indiana was a Title contender.
Indiana needed a Point Guard. Nobody knew Kawhi was gonna be this good.
Indiana didn't even draft him.They weren't going to pick him at 15 since the spurs told them who to draft since they were trading the pick. they most likely would have drafted Corey Joseph, they wanted a PG hence the reason they traded the pick. they almost traded PG for George hill the year before too
The spurs made kawhi good. Indiana couldn’t have done that

Bird had a hard-on for the light skin Spurs brutha.
He destroyed my heart when it was decided he was leaving S.A. but I fine myself rooting for Toronto because of him. He was a favorite player on my favorite team but now I follow him more than I do the spurs. It's crazy I sided with him in the S.A. situation. Great video

We see why🤝
I feel u
I remember that one day back in 2017 when I found out Kawhi's backstory. I almost cried but I held it in 😢

This narrator sounds like he is doing a documentary on a serial killer...
😂
I heard he’s wanted for murder in the cities of Philadelphia and Milwaukee
It matched up when he started talking about kawhis dads murder
Be he is a killer with killer instinct
HY Lam kinda waiting for dude to say...shiiiiiiiiiet....#thewire
Sixers fan here hated that Kawhi knocked us out the playoffs but after hearing this story it makes it hard 2 root against him so with that I'll put my feelings aside and say let's go Kawhi get that W 4 ur pop 💯
I miss Kawhi.
Sincerely,
Spurs Fan
I miss Demar.
Sincerely,
A liar ... I don't miss em fam.
Drew Jenkins lol Same I’m mean I miss him but kawhi is kinda way better soo

Actions speak louder than words, they always have, they always will. Thankfully, Kawhi's father had enough time to instill a work ethic in Kawhi that is worthy of helping influence the direction of every young person today. I'm a Raptors fan, and after seeing him at the end of the Hornets game, standing with team mates, smiling and applauding his team on the floor, I really hope he stays. From every angle, Kawhi just looks like a good fit.
We completely agree with you!

@@NBAInsider I enjoyed getting to know Kawhi a little bit. Usually when i hear something about a player it comes from the bias of another sports figure who acts like they know more than the other 3 or 4 people at the desk, or the player him/herself. Why do these news shows and pregame shows(NFL in particular) need like 4 5 or 6 explayers and coaches to say basically the same shit just using different words anyway?Its all scripted, so give all the pages to 2 guys and let them read everything. Back on topic, I know they have facts and stats I don't but it just gives some of these people the opportunity to praise the almighty state of California and in the same breath mention Toronto like it's an old nuclear testing site. I just hope Kawhi's father also taught him to recognize and enjoy a good thing when you've got it. Kawhi will go to no other team, with T.O.'s potential or more and be the king. He'll be in some other hotdog's shadow, always, the hotdog will see to that. More money, brighter lights? Perhaps, at the cost of losing your own person. Obviously , this is my biased, but Kawhi staying in Toronto will keep his soul solid and have other elite players on other teams look at their surroundings and maybe think , "this place sucks, and most of these people are no good pricks!"
One topic I really would like to see covered is the intro of the 3pt arc into the league. The reasons for and variables that affected the decision making. I only remember the NBA with the arc. In its day it would seem to me that a 3pt shot would be a pretty big deal, with the steadfasts saying it will never work and so on.
Anyway thanks for replying because I have no web site or facebook shit so I didn't even know if by comments were even viewed by anyone.
Kawhi taking Raptors to the NBA championship and beating the Warriors dynasty will be one of the greatest sporting stories of recent history.
Totally agree 💯
Let me get some of that gas you smoking lol 😃😃😃

watching this after the game tonight vs the warriors... beautiful. He's earned it, and he's definitely made history.
I love this kid(young man)...very humble & grounded mentally & emotionally
it's a fake story he grew up in moreno valley ca not ghetto. While his dad lived apart from him. It was his dad that lived in the ghetto was still in his life though and He owned a car wash in los angeles .

Wait a minute! Everyone seems obsessed about how quiet Kawhi Leonard is! Kawhi grew up in a household of FIVE women, no men! His household consisted of four older sisters and his mother. I am a female and I am here to ask,,,when could Kawhi ever get a word in edgewise? Does anyone have an answer to this question?
True....he probably had no say.
Terrific video 👍 Got nothing but respect for Kawhi and his story. His Dad would be massively proud

Hopefully Kawhi can bring the Toronto Raptors their first championship in franchise history, KEEP MAKING FIRE VIDS LIKES THESE🔥🇨🇦
They are on the finals now!!
Stephen Sala IK I'M SO HAPPY RN!!!!!!!!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏀🏀🏀
i’m a warriors fan.. but if we are beaten by raptors in the final... i won’t be disappointed because i’m also a fan of kawhi.. 😀
it’s happening!!
He did it ! 🎉
Lifelong Warriors fan and huge fan of Kawhi. Can't ask for much more for this year's NBA Finals. Proving by example that us quiet introverts are also capable of greatness. Much love!
Shocking Truth is he's a normal type guy that play's at the highest level of the NBA and he's rich, I'm not talking wealthy here. I'm using the word rich the proper way. He keeps gaining quality's others abuse. Never give up and most of all, "Never Surrender" Pretty Inspirational vid.
It's a quite a trip seeing this. I went to elementary and middle school with Kawhi. I didn't really interact with him much but I usually saw him on the black top doing his thing as a 8 to 13 yr old. Everybody that played with him or watched him as a kid knew he would do great things. I just think it's pretty awesome to see someone you saw pretty much everyday as a kid to be living out what a lot of people saw coming and believed in. I was so happy to see him on the front of my newspaper when he made his presence known in the nba. You could feel the excitement and all the love our city had at the moment. I never rooted for the spurs or raptors but man how could I not. It all feels like something out of a movie with a hometown hero feel. All in all I'm pretty blessed to step on the same courts as he did all those years ago.
Gilbert Moreno Thank you for your story. Really appreciate it 👍🏼
Kawhi is an excellent example of a professional athlete. He reminds me of humble guys like Alex English, Jamaal Wilkes, Joe Dumars and AC Green rolled into one person.
In Canada we celebrate those who live outside the box. We are lucky to have him on the Raptors team.

Kawhi Leonard just became one of my favorite players. He's a down-to-earth player/person. I'm glad that his father is his inspiration for playing basketball.
We completely agree with you!

Great job Coach Marvin Lea for picking up the pieces when he loss his dad and mentoring him into the player he is today. You don't enough credit. #Team Eleate
Truly inspirational character! Wish him success in the NBA finals
This man went through it all, but never gave up and won 2 rings, wich one he carried the team. And that is why he is the goat🐐.
His Dad was there and made Kawhi's buzzer beater bounce around the cylinder 4 times and fall through...it was almost 2 seconds after the shot clock expired..... aaaaamazing!! that's the only explanation
His dad couldn’t have been there. He was murdered at a Compton carwash back in 2008. Didn’t you watch the video?
Terry, you obviously don't believe in the spirit world...you're not alone
Kawhi should be MVP for 2019.

I Love This Guy From His Personality, To Demeanor, To His Amazing Work Ethic.
Wow stranger things as the intro, so cool! And obviously Kawhi Leonard is a pure legend...!!😃
Does one have to talk all the time, express their emotions every minute without people leaving them alone, jeez. This man is so humble, a warrior, a very good player who does his part of the job. People are judging not only him, but others usually. It is disgusting. Instead of embracing the person for what they are, they are making fun of him. Stay strong, Kawhi.
Kawhi Leonard and Giannis are probably the next NBA super stars after Lebron, Curry, Durant, Harden
Hes already been for the last 5 years 2014 finals mvp 2 defensive player of year award
Kawahi > Harden
Kawhi a champion....james harden just got put out in the second round 😐 so let's talk
@TP-SeriesI guess you are right! But hE has to improve his 3p shooting and become a better stealer!
@TP-Series You misunderstood! He is a great player but he shoots a lot 3p! 237/643. Joe Harris has 183/386 3p, Danny Green 198/435, Danilo Gallinari 161/372 are more effective 3p shooters because they don't shoot a lot! He has to improve his %. Luka Doncic is also another future super star!
kids, learn from this: work hard, stay quiet, you will be rich and famous.
We completely agree!
How did you enjoy the video?
God bless Kawhi, hard work and dedication always pays off...an excellent candidate for the Raptors 😇
You keep being that wonderful man to your family and to your kids as well as a blessing into the other people lives
This narrator is really good. It is kind of soothing in a way. It’s new right?
This is just NBA Insiders new voice actor. What do you think?
@@NBAInsider he is good but always like the older narrator
NBA Insider it’s really cool!
I knew very few of this guy. I consider myself a quiet guy as well. Now I have another inspiration in Kawhi's life style. A lot of respect for him sticking to his beliefs and personality.

Wow!! Words can’t describe how I feel about hearing news about Kawhi’s dad. I have much love and respect for his drive to make his dad extremely proud. ❤️❤️❤️
KAWHI headed to the NBA FINALS with the RAPTORS
#WeDaNorth
First CONGRATULATIONS TO KAWHI AND HIS TEAM! He's a CHAMP and did it around Father's Day weekend! Wow! His dad is on his heart heavy. God Bless him and I'm looking forward to more wins from this AWESOME player.

He's the kind of dude I respect the most.
Not flashy, not an attention seeker, just gets on with his business..
So sad injury has robbed us of seeing him as much as we should have.
Don't know much longer he will stay in the game due to his injuries but I'm appreciative of what he has done..
