NBA MVP Watch: Kawhi Leads the Way

As we enter the final week of the regular season, Kawhi Leonard is sitting pretty at the top of the MVP race. Who else joins him in the top five?

The NBA season and MVP race has come full circle.

In our very first edition of the MVP Watch this season, Kawhi Leonard was sitting all alone at the top. While it may have taken an injury to Kevin Durant, the Claw finds himself back in the top spot five-plus months and 70 or so games later.

For this final edition of the NBA MVP Watch, we will take a closer look at the resume of Leonard and four other candidates for the NBA's top individual player honors, based on their ranking in nERD.
