VIDEO: New Balance Basketball Releases Awesome New Kawhi Leonard Commercial
Is it possible that of all people, Kawhi Leonard is going Hollywood on us? Probably not, but this cool New Balance commercial he's starring in does give us a taste of what he's like in front of the big screen.
Kawhi is really a marketable star now.

The video starts off with the Clippers superstar getting into an old convertible that's supposed to be his car. This might be in reference to him owning a 1997 Chevy Tahoe despite the amount of money he makes.
We then see The Klaw's new shoes, the OMN1S, featured. They're supposed to go on sale October 23rd.
Built for versatility, the OMN1S was crafted through innovation and hyper-engineered to last.

The name reflects the modern game: positionless.
Global launch coming October 23 ? @newbalance #WeGotNow pic.twitter.com/IlTvBPrA7c
Kawhi also makes a bold statement, claiming LA is his city. Leonard is a Southern California native, but something tells us this is a shot at LeBron James and the Lakers, reminding them that there's another team in town trying to win it all also.
Either way, this video is amazing and has created even more hype for the season and the Clippers-Lakers rivalry.
