Kawhi Leonard and girlfriend Kishele Shipley turn up at Paul George's team bash before Clippers' 2023-24 season kicks off
Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are embarking on a new season with the LA Clippers, and, just like their fans, the dynamic duo expect something big this season.
George invited his teammate Leonard to a party that he had organized to celebrate the start of the season. While PG hosted the party with his wife Daniela Rajic, Leonard attended the party with his girlfriend Kishele Shipley.
PG shared the picture on his IG Story, captioning it:
“Family meal for the team to celebrate the season kick-off with @patron."
Leonard and his girlfriend Shipley have made more public appearances than usual of late. This offseason, he partied with Rick Ross, had a boat party, and attended a teammate’s wedding.
This is perhaps the most important season for both Leonard and George. They have both been with the Clippers for four years, but have not been very successful in the postseason. They have both dealt with recurring injury issues since joining the team.
PG and the Klaw are reaching the end of their contracts. After this season, both will have the opportunity to exercise their player options. They will become unrestricted free agents in the 2025-26 season.
Kawhi Leonard learned a new move from a WNBA player
Great players are always looking to add layers to their playing style. Recently, Kawhi revealed that one of the moves that he recently discovered was from a WNBA player.
In the move, Leonard uses both his legs as pivots and, after a pump fake, moves his front foot forward to float in the basketball. Leonard also lifts his back leg, which sits right with the NBA rule. He said that, initially, he thought of it as illegal:
"I thought it was just an NBA rule at first, but like I said, I realized you could pick up that back foot," Leonard said.
WNBA Finals MVP A'ja Wilson recently pulled the move on New York Liberty Breanna Stewart.
