“Dancing Like a Backstreet Boy”: NBA Twitter Goes Berserk Over Kawhi Leonard’s Appearance on Drake’s Music Video

Drake’s recently launched sixth studio album has been trending on all social media platforms. The album features artists such as Lil Baby, Kid Cudi, Lil Durk, Giveon, Travis Scott, Future, Yebba, Jay-Z 21 Savage, Project Pat, Tems, Ty Dolla Sign, Young Thug, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne. Besides these names, two-time NBA champion Kawhi Leonard has been spotted on the album.

Nicknamed the ‘Klaw’, Kawhi has won the NBA championship twice in his career. Kawhi also won the Finals MVP in those seasons as well. In fact, he was also named NBA Defensive Player of the Year twice consecutively in 2015 and 2016. He was also the steals leader in 2015.

After Kawhi underwent surgery on his ACL in July this year, it looks like he’s having a delightful time in recovery. He appeared in Drake’s music video and NBA Twitter has gone crazy on this.

Last season, during the Western Conference semifinals, Kawhi Leonard got injured during game four after a foul by Joe Ingles. However, the Clippers managed to get past the top-seeded Utah Jazz and they made it to the Western Conference for the first time in their history.

Unfortunately, their magical run was cut short as they lost against Phoenix Suns in the Conference finals in six games. Kawhi re-signed with the Clippers earlier this month and is likely to miss most of the 2021-22 NBA season. But Clippers fans can’t wait to see Kawhi back on the court.
