GIF: Kawhi Leonard takes Lebron James one-on-one and scores

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

Kawhi Leonard made his national reputation in last year's Finals with his defense on LeBron James, but in Thursday night's game against the Heat, it was the Spurs' forward's offense on display in the 3rd quarter as he took James off the dribble from the 3-point line, went behind his back, changed directions, and got into the paint for an 8 foot floater.

Yeah, I think the young man is up to the challenge on both sides of the ball.
