It seems like yesterday when Kawhi Leonard hoisted the 2014 NBA Finals MVP award after helping the Spurs win their fifth championship.
Almost a year later, Leonard was in the spotlight again, being named the 2014-15 NBA Defensive Player of the Year. One would think Leonard, like other NBA stars around the league, would desire more recognition.
Making the All-Star team? First Team selection? League MVP?
“I just want (another) one of those up there,” Leonard said, referring to one of the championship banners hanging from the Spurs’ practice facility.
Leonard, 24, has little concern with individual accolades.
