Kawhi Leonard arrives in Beijing

Kawhi touched down in the Chinese capitol city and got acclimated before his first appearance.

Kawhi Leonard’s trip to China is underway. His first visit to China is goodwill tour and will include a basketball clinic.

When Leonard arrived at the Jordan store in the Beijing World Trade Plaza Wednesday morning, it was covered with pictures with him. Leonard had a few photos taken while he looked at the 9-foot-high version of himself, posed with some buddies, and even defended himself.

Here are some more photos of the site taken by a Chinese Spurs fan in Beijing who I recently made contact with.

We’ve been doing all kinds of research to any official information about the trip — the Spurs’ site, the NBA’s site, Jordan Brand’s site — without success. So we’re in a very familiar position for Spurs fans: taking a look at everything we see and speculating about what’s going on.

I have a few contacts in China that will be helping to translate any Chinese media stories about what he’s up to, and I appreciate Adam.Miller’s help in getting this post together.

We will continue to get information on Leonard’s day-to-day activities, but until then take to the comment section below to give your best what you think’s going on.

We’ll post more on Leonard in China as it’s available.
