    Kawhi Leonard added a signature sequence to his MVP candidacy during Monday's 112-110 victory over the Houston Rockets before the NBA reportedly selected him for a random drug test in the immediate aftermath, per Michael C. Wright of ESPN.

    Not sure how NBA players are passing tests when most of the league is doped to the gills. Of course the NBA doesn't really want a scandal.

    What makes you think they're doped?

    Wow Pop actually letting the league know Kawhi is the MVP:

    "The block [at the end of the game] is what makes him special," the coach said. "Obviously, the 3, you know Harden makes 3s. Kawhi makes 3s. This guy makes 3s, that guy makes 3s. Steph [Curry] makes 3s. Everybody does that. But I don't know who goes to the other end and does what he does -- not that many people on a consistent basis, and entire game, game after game."

    Article is misleading about Kawhi guarding best opposing player nightly. He only covered Harden in spots

    I admit my ignorance of the leagues normal procedural policy when it comes to testing but the timing here is highly suspect. Random is no longer random when testing is administered like this. I'm not a conspiracy theorist that thinks the timing of this test was about knocking the Spurs or Kawhi Leonard but has this happened to LeBron James right after a big win? I don't know, I'm asking.

    Sounds fishy to me. Hope he comes out clean. If he doesnt, things might just fall off a cliff.

    He started to guard him after he had got his 30th point on Green in the 3rd. Then it was all downhill from there for Harden.Immediately he had 2 turnovers which led to baskets

    True, I know, I watched. Just saying it's misleading to intimate he guards best players even a majority of time. Doesn't do that with Harden, Curry, etc. That's Danny's job.

    Maybe letting him know before the game might help a bit.

    Random means random. If it was random, there's no story. If you think it wasn't random, post up and say why.

    "We all know NBA players get regular steroid injections at halftime. They just singled Kawhi out cuz he so good."

    Nearly all top athletes across the world have been using since at least the 90's.

    Remember, when Lance Armstrong, who never failed a test, went down, it turned out that ALL cyclists had been doping for years. It wasn't just that Lance was, everyone was. You just can't compete clean.

    It was a spectacular performance which makes me wonder if it was entirely random. I mean super human performance and a test following it.....seem a bit coincidental. Just doesn't sound too random.

    Results won't come that quickly, bud. Not worried though.
    Kawhi still felt the God-mode adrenaline pumping and it was kind of like this last night, when handing off his... specimen:
