“It means a lot to me. Words can’t even explain,” Leonard said. “I wanna thank Kobe for everything he ’s done for me. All the long talks and workouts, this one is for him.”
The award made another addition to his grand list of accolades in his career so far. At 28, Leonard is already a two-time NBA Champion and a two-time finals MVP.
