Kawhi Leonard is the NBA’s premier defensive player, and LeBron James says the San Antonio Spurs forward does the best job guarding him one-on-one in the entire League.
Nothing easy. Best Defender goes to @KawhiLeonard. #PlayersVoicehttps://t.co/2arIdS9e9y

James and Leonard have met in the Finals a couple of times—with their respective teams each winning a title—and LBJ has plenty of respect for the budding 25-year-old star.
“Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi Leonard, he’s solid,” LeBron James said.
“He’s solid, solid at that end of the floor. He’s very, very solid. I like him. I like the kid.”
