Kawhi Leonard is rarely seen smiling, which has led many to conclude he is a serious guy with a dull personality. After hearing the star forward laugh, it may be clearer now why he prefers not to wear his emotions on his sleeve.
The Raptors officially introduced Leonard at their media day on Monday, and a reporter asked him what he would like people in Toronto to know about him. Leonard gave a short response before admitting he couldn’t even tell which reporter in the room had asked the question, which cracked him up.
Get a load of this guy’s laugh:

Twitter could not get enough of the rare moment of candor from Leonard.
Ok so this is why he doesn’t laugh in public. It all makes sense now. https://t.co/C5SACNJNE6

Kawhi laughs like his brain is cobbling scream noises together in order to fool the humans in the room. https://t.co/5kw3ltCiW9

We lost DeMar’s laugh but we gained Kawhi’s laugh. Fair trade tbh

Dude. Kawhi's laugh is scary. Like how when a robot tries to mimick laughing for the first time. https://t.co/ti02Scm38o

Fortunately, the Raptors traded for Leonard so they can win more basketball games — not have him serve as an audience for a standup comedy act. Now that there is no risk of Kawhi pulling a power play to force his way to another city, it’s all good.
