Leonard, who was traded to the Raptors last year, has led the team to their first-ever NBA Finals appearance. He was sensational in the first three rounds of the playoffs, and his momentum carried over to the Finals.
On the other hand, Stephen Curry isn't far behind. The two-time MVP is keeping the depleted Warriors alive in this series. In Game 3 last Wednesday, he erupted for 47 points. While Golden State did not win that contest, Steph made an emphatic statement that he's going to do everything in his power to lead his team to its third straight championship.
Game 4 of the Finals is on Friday night, which means another opportunity for Leonard and Curry to strengthen their case for the most coveted individual award in the Finals.
