Kawhi Leonard finished second in MVP voting last season and is an early contender this season.

Leonard was asked whether he is shooting for an MVP this season as he continues to take on a bigger role with the San Antonio Spurs.

“Nah, I want to win; I want to win,” said Leonard. “I’m a team guy. I’ll turn in all my MVPs if I get an NBA championship.”

Leonard won MVP of the 2014 Finals.

“He’s a special player, without a question,” Pau Gasol said. “I’ve been around, and I’ve played against incredible players, but this guy is just unique. He’s definitely very confident and determined. He may not talk too much, and might keep it quiet most of the time, but his demeanor and his swagger is pretty high even though he doesn’t show much. He doesn’t express it. The way he plays, it’s pretty obvious.”
