Los Angeles Clipper superstar Kawhi Leonard graced the basketball world with some poetry in motion on Thursday night against the Houston Rockets, with the help of video editing of course. Leonard hit a shot over the outstretched hand of Rockets forward Robert Covington, a visual that translates to an absolute bucket in slow motion.

Leonard's shot, while ugly for Covington, is beautiful for all admirers of graceful shooting. Leonard has gifted NBA fans some spectacular shots in his career, including his Game 7 buzzer beater against the Philadelphia 76ers in last year's Eastern Conference semifinal.

Leonard and the Clippers are sending a message in Houston.
