Leonard has already possessed the strength of the MVP and once ranked second on the MVP list. However, due to injuries, Leonard's attendance rate is not high, so he has not been able to get the MVP.

He has won two FMVPs, but there is no MVP. This is the only one in NBA history. If you can get an MVP, Leonard's historical status will continue to rise.
Of course,MVP Leonard wants to get it, and he wants the championship. Last season’s playoffs, Leonard’s overall performance was actually very good, but it was overturned by the Nuggets 1-3. Leonard and George both played abnormally in the tie-break, which brought them. a lot of pressure.
This season, the Clippers are still hot to win the championship, and not only Leonard has performed very well, George has also returned to his previous form this season, averaging 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and can also enter 180 clubs, and hit as high as 48% of three-pointers, averaging 4 three-pointers per game.

After Tylen Lue became the head coach, the Clippers are also expected to achieve a breakthrough, break the curse of the Western Conference Finals, and even reach the finals and win the championship.
For the Clippers with Leonard and George, if they can't win the championship, they are indeed a failure, and they have already stumbled once last season, and they certainly don't want to encounter such an embarrassing situation again. Only Leonard and George are strong. Under Tyronn Lue's coaching, the situation last season should not repeat itself. And Tyronn-Lue is also the champion coach, won the championship with James, and may also win with Leonard and George.
