Kawhi is on pace for career-bests in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, 3-point percentage and free throw percentage. He leads the Spurs in offensive rating and is tied with Tim for the lead in defensive rating.

He has scored at least 20 points in 19 of 32 games — compared to 22 times in 64 games last season — and has failed to eclipse 15 just three times.

"Amazingly consistent," Manu Ginobili said of Leonard this season. "Well, consistently amazing. He's been impressive; makes many plays look easy. You're playing and at one point you look at the scoreboard he's got 20 and eight . So it's remarkable what he's doing. He's been incredible."

Kawhi/Curry are the two best players in the league but Curry basically has reached his apex while Kawhi is just entering his prime & still right there w/ Curry.

If he sustains it until the end of the season, his .323 win shares per 48 minutes would place him No. 5 all-time, behind Curry's current season, two seasons from Kareem and Wilt's 1972-73 season: http://bkref.com/tiny/p68An

His .323 WS/48 would also rank 3rd for any player 24 or under only behind two season from Kareem: http://bkref.com/tiny/jZkmz

His turnovers per game are the fewest among 20-point scorers in league history: http://bkref.com/tiny/HZ5EY

He went on a semi-unbelievable three-week streak in November without committing a live-ball turnover: https://twitter.com/jaredtjohnson21/status/668972037340205056

Kawhi's turnover percentage compared with the top 10 MVP candidates: http://frsports-bucket-0001.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/12/29193351/Screen-Shot-2015-12-29-at-8.32.49-PM.png

At the moment, his shooting line re 50.9/48.8/88.7. If he maintains those numbers for the rest of the season, he’ll be the only guy in history to hit all three marks (list does include a few more names but none of them would qualify for the 3 point percentage leaderboard based on the NBA’s current standards: 82 three-point field goals made ): http://bkref.com/tiny/WaGCq

He’s also had just one game all season where he accumulated more field goal attempts (eight) than points (seven). And he had a pretty good excuse in that game against the Toronto Raptors, as he was recovering from the flu: http://frsports-bucket-0001.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/12/29183435/Screen-Shot-2015-12-29-at-7.29.48-PM.png

Oh yeah, he's having the best defensive season in NBA history by a perimeter defender while anchoring the best defensive team (along w/ Tim)since the merger. No point guard, shooting guard or small forward in NBA history has posted a defensive rating lower than Kawhi’s current mark (90.8): http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/def_rtg_season.html

The guy has improved every season he has been in the league & is only going to get better. He has attempted less free throws than Mario Chalmers & he is still getting used to double teams. Once he starts getting to the stripe like Jimmy & making plays like Draymond he will surpass Curry as the best player in the league; don't be surprised if it's next season.

"Not everybody wants to be a great player," Leonard said. "They're just planning to stay in their role. That's not me. I'm trying to be the best player I can." #prayforBron
