He's really cementing himself as the greatest player of all time by winning his second championship and his second Finals MVP — while he's with his second franchise, at least — Dear Leonard wins the 2019 Playoff MVP, according to us, too. Leonard was the biggest monster in the postseason, helping lead the Toronto Raptors to that championship even though they weren't the most talented team that year. (Injuries to key Warriors players helped).
Leonard had eight games of 35-plus points, culminating in Game 1 of the second round against the Philadelphia 76ers with 45 points, 11 rebounds. Lest we forget, Leonard also had a very memorable moment, with his tricky, back-to-back jumper to send the Raptors to the Conference Finals in Game 7 against Philadelphia.
Runners-up: Stephen Curry, Giannis Antetokounmpo
