Kawhi Leonard has quickly become the best player on the San Antonio Spurs, which is a pretty amazing feat. Not only do the Spurs have a ton of talented players, Leonard was extremely raw when they first acquired him via a draft day trade with the Indiana Pacers. Leonard has worked tirelessly on his game since that point and that work has paid off with an NBA Championship and NBA Finals MVP award on his mantle. But like any good Spur, Leonard has not allowed success to slow him down, as he has continued to grow even this year.
Apparently the next step is dominating late game scenarios as Leonard hit a tough jumper on Wednesday night to finish off the Orlando Magic.

That is just a super tough shot. Aaron Gordon did a great job at contesting Leonard but the improvement in his dribble since he entered the league bought Leonard just enough time to get the shot off.
Perhaps the craziest part of all though is that Leonard actually showed happiness after the shot.
The rest of the NBA should probably quake in fear now.
