Cool cover, I love how slick The Klaw looks before ESPN scientists biometric the heck out of his performance. Is that the ghost of Tobias Harris in a Orlando Magic uniform?
The article's caption reads "Forward of the Future", but should read "Forward of the Present". After averaging 20.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and shooting 51-percent, the San Antonio Spurs' future success rests heavily in Leonard's sizable hands. His accolades include Defensive Player of the Year, Finals MVP, and All-Defensive Team honors - proof that his greatness is now, not just for later.
