<h2><strong>Kawhi Leonard 2022: Net worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Kawhi Leonard, who plays primarily as a small forward in the National Basketball Association (<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/">NBA</a>), was born on June 29, 1991, and currently plays for Los Angeles Clippers.

Leonard first played for San Antonio Spurs in the NBA. He was selected with the 15th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by the Indiana Pacers, but was traded that night to the San Antonio Spurs. Once there, he played with them for seven seasons.

While he was known for his defensive prowess, Kawhi eventually evolved into an incredible two-way player as his offense improved drastically. 1 Finals MVP, 2 All-Star appearances, 2 All-NBA selections and 2 DPOY titles later, 'the Klaw' wanted a new challenge.

[caption id="attachment_608307" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-608307" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210406104735/2021-03-25T012207Z_490486441_MT1USATODAY15789013_RTRMADP_3_NBA-LOS-ANGELES-CLIPPERS-AT-SAN-ANTONIO-SPURS.jpg" alt="Kawhi Leonard" width="1920" height="1280" /> Mar 24, 2021; San Antonio, Texas, USA; Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (2) reacts after scoring a basket against the San Antonio Spurs the first quarter at AT&amp;T Center.

Toronto Raptors came calling. After winning a championship with the Raptors, Leonard became a free agent. While he could have re-signed, Leonard opted to stay with a team near LA.

While many rumors linked him to the Lakers, Kawhi joined cross city rivals Clippers along with Paul George. Before moving to the Clippers, Leonard is known to have brought a luxurious $13.3 million worth mansion. He lost his father, Mark Leonard, in 2008.

He lives with his mother Kim Robertson and has two children with his girlfriend, Kishele Shipley. Leonard’s uncle, Dennis Robertson, before Leonard's move to the Raptors, frequently mentioned about a Spurs exit.
<h2>Kawhi Leonard with the Toronto Raptors</h2>
Ahead of the 2018-19 season, Kawhi's time with the Spurs was pretty much done and dusted. With a year left in his contract many teams weren't willing to take a risk in trading for 'the Klaw'.

But the Raptors who had seen multiple seasons of early elimination in the post-season took a massive gamble. Trading away one of their biggest legends in DeMar DeRozan, the Raps added Kawhi.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-236174" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200316204842/kawhi-leonard-6-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2400" height="1499" />

The impact was pretty much immediate. With the Raptors' defense arguably one of the best in the league, Toronto solidified themselves as one of the favorites to win the title. With the Warriors' suffering from injuries in the Finals, the dream became a reality.

Ending the Dubs' dynasty in six games, the city of Toronto were crowned as NBA champions for the first time and Kawhi won his 2nd championship and his 2nd Finals trophy of his career.
<h2>Kawhi Leonard with the LA Clippers</h2>
After an incredible season with the Raptors, Kawhi became a free agent and chose the Clippers as his next destination.

With Paul George forming an incredible partnership with him and a pretty much stacked roster, Leonard and Co. were the favorites to win the 2019-20 season. But an uncharacteristically bad performance meant that the team crashed out in seven games against the Nuggets.

The 2020-21 playoffs however painted a very different picture. With Kawhi and Paul George perform at their peak, the Clippers looked unstoppable. But their progress came to a screeching halt as Leonard suffered from a partial tear to his ACL.

There is not much progress in the 2021-22 season, as Leonard hasn't played a game yet. His injury is a long-term one, and its evolution will determine his return.

<h2>Paul George 2022: Net worth, salary and endorsements</h2>
Seven-time NBA All-star Paul George was born on May 2, 1990, in Palmdale, California. He played high school basketball for Knight High School and then two seasons of college basketball at Fresno State, before being selected by the Indiana Pacers as the 10th overall pick of the 2010 NBA draft.

[caption id="attachment_840922" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-840922" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-11-27T001531Z_370059104_MT1USATODAY17235844_RTRMADP_3_NBA-DETROIT-PISTONS-AT-LOS-ANGELES-CLIPPERS.jpg" alt="Clippers' Paul George" width="1920" height="1441" /> Nov 26, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (13) questions a foul call during the second half against the Detroit Pistons at Staples Center. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

After staying with the Pacers for seven seasons, George was traded to Oklahoma City Thunder. He played two seasons in Oklahoma before he started the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-season-preview/">2019/20 NBA season</a> with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-los-angeles-clippers-roster/">Los Angeles Clippers</a>.
<h2>Paul George with OKC Thunder</h2>
After playing for the Pacers for 7 long seasons, PG13 knew he needed a change in scenery. A trade to OKC Thunder followed. Paired up alongside Russell Westbrook, George truly showed his incredible potential in his second season.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-764647" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Paul-George-OKC-Thunder.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1281" />

After a disappointing first-round exit against the Utah Jazz in his first year, PG was a man on a mission. <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/georgpa01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Averaging</a> 28.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game, PG13 was one of the top candidates for the MVP trophy in the 2018-19 season.

But the playoffs certainly were a very big disappointment yet again. Despite having superior star power, the Thunder were simply outclassed by Damian Lillard and the Blazers. With the team's exit, George's exit followed, and in came the Clippers.
<h2>Paul George with LA Clippers</h2>
After acquiring arguably the biggest free agent in Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers knew they had to add another star. In a clear win-now move, LAC gave away some of their most talented young players and multiple picks to add George.

While the duo of Kawhi and George looked decent in the regular season, PG13 had a post-season run to forget. In the second round of the playoffs against the Nuggets, George only averaged 21.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists shooting <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/paul-george-stats-vs-nuggets-playoffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">43.5%</a> from the field, and garnered the nickname 'Pandemic P'. The Clippers blew a 3-1 lead as George had a horrendous performance in Game 7.

[caption id="attachment_674544" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-674544" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-06-13T014202Z_576701017_MT1USATODAY16247655_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PLAYOFFS-UTAH-JAZZ-AT-LOS-ANGELES-CLIPPERS.jpg" alt="LA Clippers player Paul George" width="1920" height="1280" /> Jun 12, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; LA Clippers guard Paul George (13) celebrates after a three-point basket against the Utah Jazz in the second quarter during game three in the second round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs. at Staples Center.

But the now 32-year-old certainly redeemed himself in the 2020-21 playoffs. While the team lost Kawhi Leonard through injury in the middle of the second round, it was PG who led the Clippers all the way to the franchise's first-ever Conference Finals. While George's brilliant form continued, the Phoenix Suns comfortably beat the short-handed LAC.

With Leonard out for the 2021-22 season, the Clippers were reliant on 'PG' to shine for them. However, George faced many injury issues throughout the season and could only suit up for 31 regular season games. The Clippers still managed to finish 8th and clinch a Play-In spot but they couldn't make the Playoffs after losing to the Timberwolves and the Pelicans. George's absence proved to be vital.

Paul George

Paul George 2022: Net worth, salary and endorsements Seven-time NBA All-star Paul George was born on May 2, 1990, in Palmdale, California. He played high school basketball for Knight High School and then two seasons of college basketball at Fresno State, before being selected by the Indiana Pacers as the 10th overall pick of the 2010 NBA draft.

Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports After staying with the Pacers for seven seasons, George was traded to Oklahoma City Thunder. He played two seasons in Oklahoma before he started the 2019/20 NBA season with Los Angeles Clippers. Paul George with OKC Thunder After playing for the Pacers for 7 long seasons, PG13 knew he needed a change in scenery. A trade to OKC Thunder followed. Paired up alongside Russell Westbrook, George truly showed his incredible potential in his second season. After a disappointing first-round exit against the Utah Jazz in his first year, PG was a man on a mission. Averaging 28.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game, PG13 was one of the top candidates for the MVP trophy in the 2018-19 season. But the playoffs certainly were a very big disappointment yet again. Despite having superior star power, the Thunder were simply outclassed by Damian Lillard and the Blazers. With the team&#8217;s exit, George&#8217;s exit followed, and in came the Clippers. Paul George with LA Clippers After acquiring arguably the biggest free agent in Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers knew they had to add another star. In a clear win-now move, LAC gave away some of their most talented young players and multiple picks to add George. While the duo of Kawhi and George looked decent in the regular season, PG13 had a post-season run to forget. In the second round of the playoffs against the Nuggets, George only averaged 21.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists shooting 43.5% from the field, and garnered the nickname &#8216;Pandemic P&#8217;. The Clippers blew a 3-1 lead as George had a horrendous performance in Game 7.

Mandatory Credit: Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports But the now 32-year-old certainly redeemed himself in the 2020-21 playoffs. While the team lost Kawhi Leonard through injury in the middle of the second round, it was PG who led the Clippers all the way to the franchise&#8217;s first-ever Conference Finals. While George&#8217;s brilliant form continued, the Phoenix Suns comfortably beat the short-handed LAC. With Leonard out for the 2021-22 season, the Clippers were reliant on &#8216;PG&#8217; to shine for them. However, George faced many injury issues throughout the season and could only suit up for 31 regular season games. The Clippers still managed to finish 8th and clinch a Play-In spot but they couldn&#8217;t make the Playoffs after losing to the Timberwolves and the Pelicans. George&#8217;s absence proved to be vital.
