Seems To Me The Wrong Person Was Getting 'MVP' Chants In San Antonio Today...

So there's just no more sanctity to the MVP chant, huh? Maybe the NBA should just have recording of it to play whenever anyone scores a point in any fashion whatsoever. Listen, I get that Kawhi Leonard was the NBA finals MVP last year. I get that a "Defensive Player Of The Year" chant doesn't have the same ring to it. But can we just collectively try to save the chant for the 4-5 NBA players that were actually deserving of it this season? This year probably had the most legitimate MVP candidates of any other year in my sports memory. Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, LeBron James, Chris Paul? Is it not enough for 5 different fan bases to have rights to a chant? Be better, do better San Antonio. The success that your franchise has experienced is worthy of a visit to the drawing board. You guys can do it, I have faith. Get out the old pad and paper and make the magic happen. Your team deserves a chant to call their own. Hell, Kawhi Leonard deserves a chant that shows your appreciation without giving him an undeserved label. 

Plus, do you really want to remind people that he is currently sharing the court with a more deserving recipient? I mean Kawhi Lenard had a great game today, but Chris Paul was lights out. Absolutely willed his team to victory despite playing a majority of the 4th quarter with 5 fouls. Today was as pivotal a game as a non-elimination game could be and CP3 left his hand prints and footprints all over it. Hell, I think he might have even left a mushroom stamp. What's the biggest difference between the Clippers two wins and the Clippers 2 losses? The aggressiveness, or lack thereof, of Chris Paul. Sounds like the mark of an MVP to me. When Paul is good, he's great, and the Clippers follow suit. When he is not, well, you see where I am going. They need Paul to want the ball, and want the ball at all times. When he's got the look in his eye, and the confidence and touch he has displayed the second half of this season, there isn't another person in this series that belongs in the conversation in terms of value. Time for him to take over this series back in LA and show the sports world his questionable playoff pedigree is vastly overstated. We are...

Its the playoffs. Nobody cares about the away team. Any crowd would chant for their star player. Kawhi plays within the system. If he is given the liberty those other stars are given, he is way more talented than any of them.

more talented than any of those players? Wrong. Also how can you assume Leonard will have the same success outside of said system? The kid has tremendous upside but a change of scenery doesn't always amount to success
