Kawhi Leonard Has Proven He Is the NBA’s Best All-Around Defender

That sounds very like the short bus crew.

Frontcourt: Kawhi Leonard

Oh my god. The Finals MVP missed time with eye and hand injuries, but over the last three weeks, he has looked like a complete two-way terror — a 20-point scorer knocking down pull-ups and floaters while imprisoning whatever poor opponent happens to draw him on the other end.

Seriously: If you are anything but an expert ball handler and you are dribbling within a 20-foot radius of Leonard right now, PASS THE BALL IMMEDIATELY. Leonard is the league’s best perimeter defender, and he belongs in the defensive player of the year conversation despite missing a third of the season so far. He’s the unofficial captain of my Mirror Guy team for defenders who move in such precise concert with their marks that it almost looks as if the offensive player is working against a reflection of himself. Good luck shooting against him in the paint.

MJ said he loved the Garden, because the fans really knew, appreciated the game.

Time for KL to show the Garden fans that FMVP KL knows the game, too.
