Kawhi Leonard had a terrific 2016-17 season for the San Antonio Spurs. Leonard put up a career-high in points, with 25.5 per game on an average of 17.7 attempts, something else he hadn’t done before. It led the Spurs in the first year of the post-Tim Duncan era, as he retired months before last fall.
Leonard’s season was so noteworthy, that it put him in the top three of the MVP voting for the 2017 Awards, which will be announced on Monday night. He’s up for the Defensive Player of the Year Award, as well.
The 2011 NBA Draftee did something before the June 26 event, however, as he starred in a commercial for the Jordan Brand.
