Kobe Explains Why Kawhi Leonard Joined The Clippers

“I’m sure Kawhi wants to take the challenge of winning independent of playing with LeBron,” Bryant said, per Arash Markazi of the Los Angeles Times.

“Maybe that was the same for P.G. I think they relish the challenge of taking on something new. I don’t think it was a slight at the Lakers. It was more about circumstances and what was already here in LA and on the Lakers, and they wanted to take the challenge of building something new.”
