LA Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard is one of the most low-key stars in the NBA. With none of his own social media accounts, Leonard avoids any unnecessary attention that often comes with being a professional athlete.

While Leonard does not run any social media pages, there is the kawhisklawset Instagram page that is ran by somebody close to him. The page has 216,000 followers and 107 posts.

In a post on Sunday, the kawhisklawset Instagram page shared a photo of Leonard and 2 Chainz from the rapper's birthday party over the weekend.

Leonard does have a large individual fanbase despite not being active on social media. One of the best players of this era, Leonard was named one of the NBA’s 75 greatest players of all-time when the league revealed their 75th anniversary team.

A two-time NBA Finals MVP, Leonard helped lead the San Antonio Spurs to a title in 2014 before leading the Toronto Raptors to their first title in 2019.
