San Antonio is known for its dominance with Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, but Kawhi Leonard has been equally as important over the last few years. The 23-year-old forward has been a two-way star for the Spurs during his first four seasons. Ethan J. Skolnick of Bleacher Report notes just how crucial he's been to San Antonio's success:Ethan J. Skolnick @EthanJSkolnickNot an MVP candidate, but.... Spurs w/ Kawhi Leonard the past two seasons: 99-29. Spurs w/o Kawhi Leonard the past two seasons: 17-17. Now the record stands at 100-30 after the Spurs finished 1-1 down the stretch.
