Powe took advantage of every situation last night. When he posted, the Lakers let him have position and did not front him. Leon was aggressive and drew fouls. He single-handedly put Odom in foul trouble drawing a charge and then taking it to the hole after being on the court for 1 minute. The Lakers then thought that Luke Walton would be a good matchup on Powe and Leon just abused him. He out hustled and out worked every Laker on the floor-- That's just what Powe does. The Lakers are a perfect team for Leon to have success against.
People have talked about matchups and this is a good example of what Leon can do when he has good matchups.
Also-- In my world, Leon should be signing endorsement deals after this performance. Who would I rather my kid look up to? Kobe Bryant-- a selfish spoiled entitled womanizing ****? Or Leon, a hardworking, humble, never take anything for granted, down-to-earth stand-up individual. Charles Barkley may not be a role-model, but Leon is.
