LET’S START OFF WITH A QUOTE FROM THE SAN ANTONIO’S HEAD COACH, GREG POPOVICH,<\/strong><\/p>\n

“\u201cI think he\u2019s going to be a star. And as time goes on, he\u2019ll be the face of the Spurs, I think. At both ends of the court, he is really a special player. And what makes me be so confident about him is that he wants it so badly. He wants to be a good player, I mean a great player. He comes early, he stays late, and he\u2019s coachable, he\u2019s just like a sponge. When you consider he\u2019s only had (two years) of college and no training camp yet, you can see that he\u2019s going to be something else.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0Kawhi Anthony Leonard ( born June 29, 1991) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the SAN ANTONIO SPURS of the\u00a0 NBA. Leonard is listed at 6\u00a0ft 7 in (2.01 m) and 230\u00a0lb (104\u00a0kg). He played college basketball at San Diego State University and was selected with the 15th overall pick in the 2011 NBA DRAFT by the INDIANA PACERS. Leonard won an NBA CHAMPIONSHIP with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014\u00a0 and was named the NBA FINALS MOST VALUABLE PLAYER (MVP).<\/strong><\/div>\n

On April 6, 2014, Leonard tied a then career-high 26 points in a 112\u201392 win over the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES.\u00a0<\/sup> He would finish the season averaging 12.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.7 steals while shooting 52.2% from the field. Leonard helped the Spurs to a 62\u201320 record; the number one seed in the NBA. He was named to the\u00a0 NBA ALL-DEFENSIVE SECOND TEAM PLAYER\u00a0 for the first time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spurs and the Miami Heat met once again in the NBA FINALS. On June 10, 2014, in Game 3 of the series, Leonard scored a career-high 29 points in a 111\u201392 victory.\u00a0<\/sup> San Antonio went on to win the series 4\u20131. Leonard averaged 17.8 points on 61% shooting and was named NBA FINALS MVP.\u00a0<\/sup> He was the third-youngest player to win the award (22 years and 351 days), behind only MAGIC JOHNSON \u2014who won in both 1980 (20 years and 278 days) and 1982 (22 years and 298 days). Leonard was also only the sixth player, first since CHAUNCEY BILLUPS in 2004, to win Finals MVP in a season in which they were not an ALL STAR.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO SPURS<\/strong> ARE NEGOTIATING A 5 YEAR $90,000,000.00 DOLLAR EXTENSION, AND THEY NEED TO HURRY UP AND SIGN THAT YOUNG MAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. NO NEED TO WAIT, JUST GET IT DONE AND MOVE FORWARD TO MAKE THIS KID THE FRANCHISE PLAYER OF THE FUTURE WITH MORE OF THE GREAT DRAFT PICKS THAT THE SPURS WILL MAKE IN THE YEARS GOING FORWARD. <\/strong><\/p>\n

THE MYBOYSAY SAN ANTONIO SPURS SPORTS NATION IS EXCITED TO HAVE KAWHI LEONARD AS THEIR NEW ADDITION TO THE BIG THREE, TO CREATE A NEW QUADRUPLE THREAT, TO BE KNOW AS, “THE\u00a0 GREAT SPURS 4 .COM”.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
