Leonard is famously reserved — rarely giving interviews or using social media — a private figure whose game speaks louder than his words. His father, Mark, was shot and killed at a Compton car wash in 2008, a loss he has carried quietly.
In 2018 he left Nike for New Balance, later disputing Nike over the rights to his 'Klaw' hand logo. His nickname traces to his enormous hands and ball-hawking defensive instincts.
Stoic, meticulous and relentlessly competitive, Leonard lets a devastating two-way game do all his talking.
