  • Kawhi Leonard mengaku siap menatap kemungkinannya untuk tampil pertama kali di Olimpiade.
  • Small Forward LA Clippers ini menegaskan bahwa Ia sanggup memperkuat Timnas Basket Amerika Serikat.
  • Kawhi Leonard bergabung dengan timnas setelah tak dipanggil selama empat tahun.

SKOR.id - Pemain LA Clippers, Kawhi Leonard, berencana mewakili Amerika Serikat di Olimpiade Tokyo pada musim panas ini.

Superstar berusia 29 tahun itu mengatakan bahwa Ia tetap akan begabung ke tim nasional meski membela Clippers hingga Play-off, atau bahkan tak memperkuat timnya.

LA Clippers memang masih berpeluang melaju jauh di Play-Off  yang bisa selesai hingga 22 Juli 2021. Sedangkan Olimpiade Tokyo digelar mulai 25 Juli 2021.

"Tapi saat ini, rencana saya adalah pergi (membela Timnas Basket AS)," kata Kawhi dikutip dari laman FIBA.

"Tidak masalah seberapa sukses kami (Clippers) musim ini. Jika saya merasa sanggup, saya siap untuk melakukannya. Saya akan bermain."

Kawhi Leonard telah menjadi bagian dari Timnas Basket AS selama sembilan tahun. Dia adalah anggota dari Tim Pilihan 2012 yang berlatih melawan Timnas AS untuk Olimpiade 2012.

Kemudian, pada Januari 2014, Leonard kembali masuk skuad Tim Nasional AS 2014-2016. Leonard merebut juara NBA pertamanya beberapa bulan kemudian bersama San Antonio Spurs dan dinobatkan sebagai NBA Finals MVP.

Tetapi, dia tidak bersaing dengan Timnas Basket AS yang berhasil mengalahkan semua lawan mereka dalam perjalanan menuju gelar dunia tahun di Piala Dunia Basket 2014.

Musim panas berikutnya dia kembali bergabung dengan USA Basketball dan bermain di Showcase 2015. Namun, Ia  tidak tampil untuk di Olimpiade Rio, ketika mereka memenangkan medali emas Olimpiade.

Pria asal Los Angeles itu kembali bersinar setelah memimpin Toronto Raptors meraih gelar juara NBA pertama pada tahun 2019 dan kembali dinobatkan sebagai MVP NBA Finals.

Tapi, Leonard kembali tidak bermain untuk Timnas AS yang finis di urutan ketujuh di Piala Dunia Basket 2019 di Cina.

Dia kembali dimasukkan, 13 bulan lalu, sebagai bagian dari Timnas Basket untuk Olimpiade AS 2020. Namun, Olimpiade ditunda karena pandemi virus corona dan dijadwalkan ulang untuk tahun 2021.

Jika Leonard bermain, dia akan bertemu kembali dengan bos AS Gregg Popovich, mantan pelatihnya di San Antonio Spurs.
