Kawhi Leonard Is a Legitimate MVP Candidate

Triple-doubles seem to be the talk of the NBA this year. After all, the league just recently broke the record for triple-doubles in a season, previously set in the 1988-89 season.

I'm quite positive that he nor his team care about that one bit. Leonard has been playing his own statistically dominant game. He leads the league with eight games of 30-plus points, 2-plus threes and at least 60% shooting from the floor.

As for his Spurs, with 20 games remaining, they're now just 2.5 games back of the 1 seed out West. They're an NBA best 9-1 in their last 10 games, inching closer to overtaking the Golden State Warriors for homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs.
