Tim Duncan is much closer to the end of his career than the beginning. Manu Ginobili isn't far behind.

Tony Parker might be having his best NBA season and has been discussed as an MVP candidate.

Known for their established stars, the San Antonio Spurs are developing their next one, Kawhi Leonard. The second-year guard-forward has quickly become a trusted player with the league-leading Spurs.

What do you think about Kiwis body? You thinks he us gonna get bigger, stronger, more muscles? Or is he going to keep this current weight and body?

Seeing him perform well during the playoffs and also in the WCF during his rookie season definitely shows he will be an all-star type of player.

well hes pretty young, so i'd imagine that he would gain strength and weight from the natural maturation process if nothing else.

The progress that Kawhi has made this season has been amazing. A lot of people were getting worried with his sub-par preseason, but he has shown flashes of a good one-on-one game (Chicago game specifically). I believe that this guy will become a star player and not just a role player.

Pop seems to be giving Leonard and Green some free rein to drive with the ball. This could turn out to be a large bonus for the team.

minus the hairline. How many players in the league still have straight cornrows? I can't imagine Kawhi without em.

the receding hairline makes lebron more aerodynamic.
