Kawhi is a serious candidate for...

[YGWHI]

He has been so dominant on both ends...

Good stuff!

[SAGirl]

DPOY: Whiteside might get it just b/c of his numbers but dude isn't even the best defender on his own team (Winslow); Draymond will get love from analytic folks.

And Draymond may win it this year since he felt snubbed last season.

We'll see, still a young season. Tougher teams ahead for Kawhi to dominate.

[ViceCity86]

Kawhi is a serious candidate this season for....

1. NBA MVP
2. DPOY
3. MIP
4. All Star
5. All Star 3 Point Contest selection
6. All NBA
7. All Defensive Team
8. All of the Above.

And I said serious candidate, not that he'll get all of these...for example on MVP Curry and LeBron are surely ahead at this point. DPOY could be Whiteside... But Leonard is in the discussion for all these, I think except maybe MIP.

1.MVP-Not even a chance with Curry
2.DPOY-Runnerup to Draymond
3.MIP-In the running but probably be Paul George given his serious injury
4.All Star- Definitely
5.All Star 3 point-Probably won't get picked,despite numbers,because they don't see him as a shooter
6.All NBA team-Durant and Lebron will be first team.Leonard and Paul George on 2nd team
7.All Defensive Team-Likely
8. 4&7

Not MVP.

Curry is just Jordanning atm and there is daylight to second. But everything else yeah.

Paul george has won mip before I believe, so I don't see him winning that. Unless you can win it more then once then yeah I can see him taking that.

Curious why they made his nickname Claw instead of KLaw.

Curry is playing at a historic level, he's a lock for MVP, but hopefully Kawhi gets All-NBA 1st..

Shout out to my young s Apo and Dabom, from day 1..

Wow, you really like curry don't you? All timer? Common man. Can he even dunk. One ring? With an easy road at that

Curry is playing amazing, tbh. His jump shot is a thing of beauty and he is making people look ridiculous on the court. Yes he is easily on the path of being an all timer. Love kawhi's game but as many have stated the mvp is curry's to lose.

Another Finals MVP!!!!!

[pgardn]

Another Finals MVP!!!!!

That would be THE award.

Because of its implications for the TEAM.

DPOY and All-NBA 2nd team.

[Old School 44]

Good stuff!

I wonder if Tim's given him tips on how to block shots. Kind of looks like Tim's "below the rim, keep the ball in play" style.

[exstatic]

I don't care if the GS P.R. campaign failed to get him the award last year, Draymond Green is NOT winning DPOY over Kawhi. What Curry is to offense, Kawhi is to defense: the ing beast of the NBA.

-The ASG will be in Toronto so Kyle Lowry should be on the team
-Dirk won't be in it unless he's already part of the All-Star team
-Draymond might ask to participate

Lowry will be an All Star based on performance alone - he's killing it this year. Should be starting too. He'll be in 3pt shootout even if not an AS, but will be an AS too.

Dirk has turned back the clock this year so could make the ASG. But you're right, he'll likely only participate if at the ASG.

Draymond will be the W's second All Star before others. There is precedent to two guys from a team being in the shootout, so chance he makes it. Crazy how much deeper the West is ... room for four Hawks last year, but trouble finding room for more than two GSW.

[will_spurs]

DPOY, All-Star and All-NBA 2nd seem quite clear right now. Hopefully another FMVP too.

[apalisoc_9]

Playing like a first teamer and for sure a first teamer

Lebron-George-Leonard should be first team front court...at least for now. Or blake over george

[Fireball]

I'm a fan of all Spurs players. I knew this post was too "fannish!"

The post is all right... a player fan would have added something ty like

9. making TP negligible ...

[TXstbobcat]

Nash was white.....

Just saying.

a lot of people thought that Shaq deserved mvp over Nash in 04/05

Cheers bro!

And I guess the real question is will Kawhi get more all-star votes than a washed-up Kobe Bryant? Sadly, I'm guessing no.

yep ... thats not gonna happen ... Kobe should just tell the league to not put his name on the voting list

[spursistan]

The Spurs are bound to have top 3 league record by ALL Star game, i'm almost sure Kawhi will get in there if he doesn't miss extensive time to an injury..

leonard should be a lock to get in as a coaches pick as a reserve.
