Kawhi Leonard Named 2014 #NBAFinals MVP

San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard was named the 2014 NBA Finals MVP following his team's clinching 104-87 home victory over the Miami Heat in Game 5 Sunday at the AT&T Center.
 
Leonard led the team with 22 points and 10 rebounds in denying the Heat a bid at a three-peat and avenging last year's seven-game series loss in the Finals.

Kawhi Leonard (17.8 PPG (61.2% FG), 6.4 RPG, 1.6 SPG) is the 2014 #NBAFinals MVP

Leonard may be the future face of the franchise in San Antonio, in which he'd assume a role legendary big man Tim Duncan has filled for over a decade and still does so

Expectations were high for Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, the veteran trio that has driven the Spurs' sustained success. However, more assertiveness on offense from Leonard led to pleasantly surprising results, and it continued for the past three blowout wins San Antonio earned.
