I thought he missed a little too much time to win, but he has been awesome when he is on the court.

[Wings]

Congrats Kawhi, one of my favorites in the game.

That acetate patch auto is insane!

[rynobot]

Well deserved. Hopefully the Spurs make it to the finals and Kawhi faces LeBron again, that is always an awesome match up.

[spurs50fan]

That Immaculate is awesome.

Congrats to Kawhi. Well deserved. His defensive contribution was obvious to the Spurs turnaround this year. Voters got to see the Spurs with and without Kawhi causing havoc on the perimeter. There is a difference.

Besides, a couple of Spurs players already had this award taken from them......

[Rabie1]

Great. i think he deserves it even if he missed some time.

Guess the Warriors are going to have to settle for Curry being MVP :)

[dasiegel]

beautiful cards, a modern scottie pippen

[TheCelticsfan29]

definitely a nice surprise!

[daeve]

surprised the voters went with the right choice! and there's this, pretty impressive

Leonard is the 3rd player in @NBA history to win both Finals MVP & Defensive Player of the Year. Other two? Michael Jordan & Hakeem Olajuwon

Me too, he's the guy I wanted the Rockets to draft, and then when he fell to them I was pumped!.... and then they picked Marcus #@#@#@#@ing Morris.

I believe the trade was made before the actual pick. Meaning, Spurs told Pacers to pick Leonard.

True, though the rumor is that the Pacers liked him too, and he's most likely the one they would have taken if they had kept the pick.

[bullard123]

Great news! Well deserved! Finally they get it right. They don't call him the claw for nothing. I really thought Jimmy Butler should have got 6th man of the year as well

The Pacers liked him BECAUSE the Spurs liked him

Huh? You mean Most Improved? Or you mean Thomas instead of Butler? ;)

[bullard123]

Yeah I meant most improved for Butler

[Litwing]

Congrats Kawhi, one of my favorites in the game.

Thanks man! that's the best kawhi RC card imo!

[Litwing]

Thanks man, the immaculate set looks classic now~

the steal from kawhi is just...:eek::D:D

That Immaculate is awesome.

That's exactly what happened. Doesn't make the image of him wearing a Pacers hat, but never playing a second for the Pacers any easier to stomach for me.

[Litwing]

Kawhi is on fire!!
he start showing the leader role in offense!!!
Most importantly, win the game!!!!!

[thepinoymamba]

I don't Think he should have won since he miss so many Games..

[DUCKanay]

Yeah, I don't get how someone can have more 1st place votes and get second. Guess they should make an electoral college for sports voting as well. I did have Leonard over DeAndre though, but not before Green.

Dude. Were you the one in the 10 case immaculate gb that pulled that kawhi? I was...and of course I had the Jazz. So many monster Kawhi/AD's/Kyries pulled that day...

[Litwing]

I downloaded the video~~ i wish i were that guy but im not, i bought this acetate from that guy actually. Cost me alot of $$ though, but i love it! :D

[drobfan8]

You know, I never thought the acetate was THE rc to have, but next to those it really stands out. Incredible. Congrats.

[daeve]

Kawhi really elevates his game in the playoffs, mark of a champion

[bullard123]

Yeah He was in a nice groove last night

[SteveO21]

You know, I never thought the acetate was THE rc to have, but next to those it really stands out. Incredible. Congrats.

I feel like the Immaculate acetate RC is the RC card to have of every new player these days. My 2 favorite cards in my collection are my Orlando Johnson 2012-13 acetate /11 and my Solomon Hill 2013-14 acetate /9.

[SpursMan9]

Sick cards of the future of the Spurs!! Read they (Spurs) will be offering him a max contract. Well deserved! He seems to elevate his game every time the situation calls for it. So humble, so talented!! GSG!!

[Litwing]

thanks! the jersey no. acetate rpa is just looks much beautiful in real card and mow becoming classic!
