Even years after his sensational exit from the Toronto Raptors, Kawhi Leonard continues to dominate headlines with surprising revelations from his past.

The Allegations Surface: A ‘No-Show Job’?

Recent reports unveil that Leonard allegedly sought a 'no-show job' during his free agency period in 2019, as his uncle and representative, Dennis Robertson, pressured Raptors' management for this arrangement. This job was rumored to involve little more than Leonard being on the payroll while he played for the Los Angeles Clippers, where he later signed a massive deal.

Mystery Investment from Aspiration Inc.

Details surrounding a secret contract with Aspiration Inc., a company that has ties to Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, have also surfaced. This agreement purportedly would have paid Leonard $7 million annually for four years for minimal actual work duties, further painting a picture of salary cap circumvention.

Raptors' Ownership Complicit?

Renowned journalist Bruce Arthur reports that during the 2019 free agency period, MLSE executives were allegedly maneuvered to arrange these 'no-show jobs' for Leonard. This tactic echoes Leonard's own camp’s previous attempts to secure more lucrative endorsement deals without his active involvement.

The Fallout: Will the NBA Take Action?

The revelations have led the NBA to launch an investigation into these claims, suggesting a serious inquiry into Leonard's dealings while at Toronto and subsequently in Los Angeles. While the Clippers and Ballmer deny any wrongdoing, this new twist has thrown Leonard's career and financial dealings into the spotlight once more.

Kawhi's Legacy in Question?

As fans and analysts continue to dissect this drama, Leonard's legacy is stirring up increasing controversy. After winning the championship and MVP title with the Raptors in 2019, this unearthing of possible shady dealings could significantly tarnish his reputation.
