From the emotional sense, it can be said that Kobe is the player who has the greatest influence on world basketball after Jordan. I believe that his elegant back jump shot was also obsessed by many league stars when they were young. Leonard, who can't be a role model, must have been guided by Kobe. In particular, they are all types of players who are eager for the game and have a very strong middle distance. For Leonard, winning this trophy is not only a tribute to their predecessors.
For his historical significance, it is much worse. He wants to be a superstar like lebron james, Stephen Curry and kevin durant, but the standard of superstars in the league is regular season mvp, scoring champion and championship with core status. As far as Leonard is concerned, he has only one core champion and no other important honors. The historical bonus of an all-star MVP is also very limited. After all, the game is entertaining and competitive, so it's nothing.
Generally speaking, this honor is more memorable to the players than the bonus, so don't get the key points wrong. After all, Leonard was the first player to win the Kobe Cup.
