Kawhi Leonard is the back-to-back NBA Defensive Player of the Year for good reason.
The San Antonio Spurs forward showed off his superior instincts and incredibly large hands in Game 4 on Sunday, picking off an Oklahoma City Thunder pass by palming the ball in midair.
Leonard would follow by feeding Patty Mills for an easy layup to finish off the remarkable play.
