Leonard achieved a historical record: 20+5+1 steal and 3-point shooting 40%+ for three consecutive seasons, second in NBA history

On May 28 , in the 2024-25 regular season, Clippers core player Kawhi Leonard once again delivered a stable performance. He averaged 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game, while his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41.1%. With such comprehensive data, he once again wrote a page of personal honors.

According to official NBA statistics, Leonard has averaged at least 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 steal per game for three consecutive seasons, with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%, becoming the second player in NBA history to achieve this achievement.

This data standard requires not only scoring, rebounding and defensive efficiency, but also tests the player's outside stability, reflecting a strong offensive and defensive comprehensiveness and efficiency. It is extremely rare in the history of the league to be able to maintain such a high level of performance for three consecutive seasons. Although the official has not yet revealed who the first person in history is, Leonard's name has undoubtedly been written into the data history of elite players.

This season, Leonard not only maintains a high shooting rate on the scoring end, but also continues to show the style of the former " Kawaii defensive machine " on the defensive end . Although injuries have affected his attendance rate, his performance on the court remains stable, providing a key guarantee for the Clippers' competitiveness.

As he gets older, Leonard gradually transforms from an offensive and defensive player who relies on his physical talent to a leader who focuses more on efficiency and rhythm control. His skills are becoming more mature, and he is better at taking over the game at critical moments, becoming an indispensable core in the Clippers' tactical system.

It is worth mentioning that in today's NBA environment with a faster pace and higher reliance on three-pointers, it is already rare to maintain a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%. However, Leonard can do this with a high usage rate and maintain it for many years, which further highlights the scarcity of his offensive efficiency.

The Clippers are currently in the process of adjusting their roster and are still seeking a breakthrough in their title race. Whether Leonard can continue to play healthy and maintain a high level of performance will be one of the biggest variables in the Clippers' future title race. And this historical record will also become another milestone in his career.
