Kawhi Leonard’s Putback Dunk Is Metaphor Of Spurs’ Dominance

June 13, 2014

Sure, Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade all combine for an age of about 90. But the Spurs' trio of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili add up to an age of about 900. The Heat were supposed to be on their way to a third-straight championship, defeating those pesky Metamucil drinking, AARP holding guys from San Antonio for the second straight year. So how does Miami find themselves in a 3-1 hole? 22-year-old Kawhi Leonard.

Remember when LeBron was doing this on a nightly basis?

How did this guy slip to the 15th pick three years ago??

LeBron is still the best player in the world, no doubt about it. But still, we may be seeing a slight changing of the guard.

Leonard has been the x-factor in an NBA Finals that's been completely dominated by the Spurs. If the Heat lose this series, it's hard telling what LeBron may decide to do next. You can be sure he won't be wanting to watch much more of this….
