Kawhi Leonard was predictably at the center of an important Los Angeles Clippers game Wednesday night, but not in every way you’d expect.
Sure, the forward dropped 30 points in a vital 134-126 win over the Golden State Warriors. And yes, he was his excellent old self. But that doesn’t mean he won’t call moments like he sees them — even when they go against his own team.
So when Clippers guard Eric Gordon rose up for a three-point attempt and clearly leaned into an egregious offensive foul, Leonard agreed. He wasted no time arguing and gestured along with the officials on a rather obvious call.
Look at how casually he flips his index finger forward!
Kawhi calling his own teammate's offensive foul got me howling 😂😭💀 pic.twitter.com/UP2FSYghmQ

Vintage Leonard. Even when he’s not actually trying to be funny, he still pulls some effortless comedy off.
