Kawhi Leonard punctuates Raptors' dominant 1st half with monster dunk

Kawhi Leonard has entered rarified air throughout the playoffs and few plays better encapsulate his dominance than a monster slam to end the first half of Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Buoyed by a raucous home crowd, Leonard navigated a screen before rocketing towards the rim and throwing down a massive dunk past the outstretched hands of James Ennis and Tobias Harris to give the Raptors a 64-43 halftime lead.

Leonard is having a down game for his stratospheric standards - most players would kill for this statline - posting 13 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals with no turnovers on 3-of-9 shooting.

Whether Kawhi stays with the Raptors or not is a conundrum for another day but if he does, it’s possible to mould a statue with this dunk in mind.
