Can we please get this man on “HOT ONES” please!?!?
He’d be eating the hottest wing with no expression at all.
Either he's awesome bc he doesn't flinch, or it's hilarious bc we see a side of him we'd never expect, cursing and all that :p
Factsssss
yo this is genius no cap
@Sean
It’s hot.
This ones hotter
This is hot too
"Let everyone have fun with it, it doesn't bother me. It's who I am" So much respect for this dude
He is real! He should be president
simclardy1 okay relax
@Kam Mike
Yeah I totally agree with you. ;)
@Kam Mike hey im a warriors fan but i think your being salty. I respect Kawhi
@@venzpatrickllagas8508 yes
he scratched his beard louder than he talked 🤣
For real though
Lmao, it was loud cuz the mic was right underneath
valerie sabourin hahahahahahaa
@@mithranroy7054 so is his mouth not like he has quagmires chin lol
I read this and one seconds later i heard schratchschratchhdnxjsnfj 😂😂😂
Like I said, I'm a fun guy -Kawhi deserves a big like!
😂🤣🤣🤣
He said he’s a FINE guy
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C dude shut up! american football is still better
Things we know about him:
He’s a fun guy
He likes basketball
He has poor eyesight
tsehat how does he have poor eyesight
Protect this man at all cost. No ego, the most humble superstar I have ever witnessed.
Facts
Yeah cool dude players don't even trash talk him
@@charlieg4732 lol you would have to be the the biggest dick in the league to Trash Talk Kawhi😂😂
@Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this First off, clever name. And second, I think you're right but Kawhi surprised me by actually embracing the criticism of his laugh. Maybe his ability to laugh at himself will just make people like him more. Kinda like his former teammates Manu and Timmy.
Jarron Nunez HES like Tim Duncan
Most of the media tries to make him out to be a weirdo because he's an introvert. The dude is a great example for introverted people to be who you are no matter what anyone says. Being quiet doesn't make you stuck up or weird. You are not required to be outgoing. Acceptance of self is the strongest characteristic you can display.
see this is the problem with the modern day media. if the person isnt the most outgoing extrovert theyre labelled as a weirdo/creepy just because they dont want to talk 24/7 or have all the attention. kawhi is my favorite player due to (partly) that he doesnt get involved in drama. just quietly the best player in the nba
AROD2003 exactly, self acceptance and self impowerment is basically what human life is about. Your not living for the birds or the trees or the animals or anyone else. They didn’t give you the purpose to live, you give yourself the purpose to live and that’s all that matters. It’s how you show yourself attention your desberve that is is reflected upon others when you take action. Thats how life is. Nothing is meant to be always outgoing.
Most people now are loud & seen or want to be loud or seen so introverts or people with any decorum are weirdo & stuck up to them.
Yh you're so right. Introverts like Kawhi need to keep calm in order to be at their best which is why we don't see him all crazy.
That's so 100!!!!
3:45 that laugh he didnt move his lips 💀
Loool
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Thank you for this lmaoo
🤣
“Doesn’t bother me at all, that’s who I am.” I love that. He’s so humble and nice.
I love basket ball too
Yes! Plus I like the way he laughs!
That’s fax
Same I love that!
Factssss💯💯
You can be an introvert and be 100% confident and comfortable with yourself. Thanks for this lesson Kawhi, great guy for sure.
Fun guy
You from Madagascar?
Or from a Polynesian country?
Dam ur name longer than Giannis’
@@jiaheli2840 Aye it lowkey is😂
And that’s it.
“That’s who I am” I love that. Kawhi Leonard is awesome!
once I finished the video & this comment was the first thing I said too - dudes A1
I love him so much man
I love him so much man
@@Zenigundam Who hurt you?
@@Zenigundam
Cool bro, get it
Love that ending. “Let everybody have fun with it. Doesnt bother me, thats who I am”. Much respect to Kawhi. Real dude right there.
Ik I wish to l0ve myself as much as he loves himself one day
Yeah, he seems like a beautiful person
Not gonna lie .. for a Superstar.. this dude is Humble Af ✊👌
I wonder if he's also a bit shy. Seems like itn
he may be but sometimes it seems more like socially awkward at times. or shy like the other person said. but its almost strange sometimes.
When you're socially awkward and shy having cameras and millions of peoples eyes on you is a little intimidating
DearJRenae He’s been like that ever since his dad died I think
Alexander Parker thank you. I don’t think people understand or know why he’s like this. I found out while ago about what happened. Your finally the first person to mention by far that I’ve seen in comments. Didn’t other stuff happen to him to
Steph: "My peers know who I am"
KD: "Y'all know who I am"
Kawhi: "I know who I am"
This. 100x this.
Well said ....Real Power dont Power trip !
Eminem: "I Am Whatever You Say I Am" lol
Steph has always says he knows who he is.
thereGoMapo That’s pretty revelatory and deep about Kawhi. He’s a stoic Alpha.
Bro really hit us with the “im a fun guy” 💀💀💀
Fine*
Cinque Robinson Kawhi said fun
Cinque Robinson F U N ****
HE SAID FINE LISTEN CLOSER ITS A 'i'
HE SAID U ALREADY KNOW I SAID IM A FUN GUY
Imagine getting high with Kawhi😂😂, Hes probably lowkey a goofy dude
NasWavy™️ yeah, he’d probably be very lethargic and emotionless and laugh funny. Oh wait. I’m just playing, thank you for your service to the great nation of Canada.
NasWavy™️ yeah probably when he retires from the court and makes more money lol.
I mean. He is a fun guy
he is in Canada, legal weed + awesome city
Rum-N-Toke canada isn’t a city🤦🏽♂️ it’s a a whole fkn country
5:58 "you already know I'm a fun guy" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Kawhi is cool,
He seems like a friend that can be shy at times but back you up when you need it
mmhummhmmhm
6:15 Everybody have fun with it, but it doesn't bother me at all. That's who I am.
Man what a role model!
He’s a fun guy
@@saz19s8 Insert signature laugh...
@SquidBag follow certain players instead of teams at first, it'll ease you into the tremendous egos
3:45 lol
I was about to write this exact comment. Great role model indeed.
Just imagine smoking a blunt with kawhi and he bust out laughing 😂😂 I’ll be dead
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Dude..... take 5 dabs.. :) :) :) :) :)
Kj Brown 😂😂😂😭
*hits blunt*
....
*eH! Haeeuhhh!! Eeh ehh huhhuh*
Kawhi Leonard ain't no fool, he doesn't say much that keeps people out his business
True
What suggested to you that he was a fool?
People are pretty curious about him actually
KD on the otherside..
@@negropaul8258 stupid question
Employer: Tell me about yourself?
Kawhi: Watch the tape.
Ask about me
I can't give you a whole spill
I dont even know where are u sitting at.
Uh-haa-AHHH-ugg-uug
This is gold.
“I ended up giving him like 5 daps after that”
Lol
Hey what would you expect he's a fun guy. 🤣😅😂
John Thomas i was bout comment that lmfao
Ribbit 😂😂😂

I can confirm one thing from this video
Kawhi is a fun guy

Horizon Clipz 😂
You can tell that if you watch the H-E-B commercials
Quit takin' up space, dickhead...!
3:46 he was finna do the laugh again
😂😂😂 he held it in
🤣🤣😂👍
"How do you describe yourself?"
"I'm a fun guy" (Updating new Laugh program 2.0 Bug fixes)
"ha ha" (Smiles)
*Windex bottle laughs*
@@cordo. you see it would have been funnier if you put "laughs in windex bottle"
Lol
"I'm a fun guy." One of the greatest quotes in sports history. How can you not like this dude? We should all try to be chill like him. Toronto, y'all are blessed to have him in your city.
Tyrone Cunningham THIS YEAR 😂😂
@@jeffsamuels2539 Toronto is going to win the NBA Championship for the first time in history. Even if he leaves here at the end of this season, he will forever be celebrated in this city and welcomed as a hero and a champion. This city still loves and reps Vince Carter ffs.
Jay Brody I picked them in 6. Pretty sure kawhi and dine is if he stays. But he’s gone after the ship so enjoy it Toronto. We don’t need the best player in the game in Canada, sorry.
we know
Tyrone Cunningham for real. Living like that is the key to a healthy happy life
I literally couldn't dislike this guy even if I wanted to
Spurs fans do but deep down in there i know that they 're just pissed off
Everyone likes this guy
Skip Bayless dislikes him
@Shivan Anirudhra who ? Me or him?
@@Kwabena802 Shit Dickless is his real name
@Shivan Anirudhra it's not about basketball it's the simple fact how Kawhi is a good guy that brushes off his haters and I have much respect for him you got a problem with that???
'work on the laugh?', what kind of comment is that - Kawhi has the BEST laugh ever!!!
Teresa yeah contagious
Lol I know, I’ve been binging Kawhi interviews lately and that’s the dumbest question by far. She’s treating him like an alien
lmao, I knew when she asked "How would you describe yourself" he would say "i'm a fun guy" he even laughed after
Kawhi : I am a fun guy
*Audience starts laughing*
Kawhi : toldya
😁
Nine Five zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
On the dot
dub 😂
All jokes aside, he is a fun person, he's honest and legit he dosen't fake anything for Nobody
OMG ! i like when he said “ i’m a fun guy” with his laugh 😂 Mr.Leonard I really appreciate you bro lmao #FunnyandHumble
Reezy El OG 😂😂😂🤣
The facial expression tho🤣🤣
Reezy El OG ... totally. Thanks for playing in TO this year man. You and yours be well Kawhi.
3:45 there it is 😂😂
You gotta love Kawhi. This guy is so humble and down to earth. I bet you after beating the Warriors he'll never say "that right there made me the goat.".
i think that's just how he is naturally. Very quiet, doesn't like big crowds, doesn't like too much attention, doesn't soak everything in.
lol if he came back from a 3-1 on a 73-9 team, as a lebron fan on god i would’ve said kawhi top 10 all time
1:55 "Kawhi me a river" 😂😂😂😂
"I'm just a fun guy" kawhi 💯
LeeTravius Mckay something a chucky killer doll would say
LeeTravius Mckay he always laughs after he says am a fun guy 😂😂😂😂
MAGACOP it’s a joke u fuck
Was just waiting for him to say “Im a fun guy”😂😂😂 im dead.
Kawhi ' fun guy " Leonard
He was too 🤣🤣
He was trying not to say it lol
@Alexis Sarkasia No one would ever think that the three-peat killing, dynasty slayer would also be just a fun guy.
I would like to report this comment for telling me before I even watched it :(
This dude is really that dude. He got me as a fan now so ima have to grab a jersey. RESPECT!
hit up @iceyjerseys on instagram!
I bought every color of his Jersey. this guy is the best😁
I love this man he's so humble 😁
What a humble freakin guy
Arshdeep Singh also fun guy
@@brain222 * Kawhi laugh *
Salute to Rachel Nichols....this is the most comfortable I've seen Kawhi in an interview
same bro..
@@Chris-ju6wi of course he will be comfortable, ibaka is his teammate
Talking about the bull penis made him a little uncomfortable
And he was still HIGHLY uncomfortable 😂😂😂😂😂 But he knows who he is.
I RESPECT IT.
You gotta look at the Ibaka interview
Who will win the finals
Toronto Raptors = like
Golden State Warriors = comment
Lol guess ima comment
I hope the Warriors win. Raptors playing good though, so I congratulate the Raptors.
Comeback
Toronto
@@mryup6100 golden state up 3 - 1 obv they gonna win
Can’t believe Rachel asked Kawhi if he’s worked on his OWN laugh. Boy has social media changed the world.
D Nyce she didn't mean it in a bad way she was asking if he had to change it or practice it so people won't make fun of it anymore that's all she was trying to ask
"You already know, I'm a fun guy." LOL! I dig it, man. Pulling for you in tonight's game, Kawhi.
Fungi
2:47 when Kawhi smiled
*EVERYONE LIKED THAT*
Walking dead?
Basically_XWeeb fallout 4
A.I trying to smile using deep learning.
*The fans will remember that*
I love how humble he is. Just because you're a professional athlete doesn't mean you have to be a hothead
"Have you worked on your laugh? " 🤨 wth 🤦🏼♀️ good response tho👌🏼
@@JM-fh1tv 🤔🤔🤔 not true ... But thanks for sharing 👍🏼
That's a rude question.

Kawhi Leonard explains his laugh...
*_Everyone liked that_*
🤗
Ye
Heheh
Heheehhehe
Ehehehhehheyeeh
Legend. Canada loves you Kawhi, we will never forget what you have done for us.
His dad got shot in front of him and now he’s one of the best players in the NBA. Everyone should admire him. ( Spurs fan 👍🏼 )
False
Not true his dad got shot at a car wash but kawhi was not there when it happened
He was at school
he used to spend a lot of good quality time with his dad at the car wash. Then his dad was shot at that car wash. However kawaii did not see him get shot.
Best Taylor Swift album
He is so humble. I love his demeanor. Yes, I can tell he is a fun guy who knows how to carry himself. A very respectable young man.
i wonder what he considers "fun" he's so "convincing" lol
Lol. A fun guy
@Dawei Zhao HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M FUCKING WHEEZING DUDE
Job Interviewer: Tell me about yourself that wasn't included in your resume
Me from now on: I'm a fun guy
That had me Rollin! Spilt my brew
It won't work unless you get the laugh down with it
😂😂👌
Obviously I love the game of basketball I just can’t give you a whole spill
@@nardgangtv In a job interview, I think it would go like this; I'm a fun guy, huuhhmmm, obviously I love this job opportunity. Hmm, I mean u have to ask more questions, hmm, in order for me to tell u about myself. I just cant keep give u the whole spill.
Trully respect him he is such a humble loveable guy. The team member/type of friend you need.
Kawhi's deep voice plus my super bass headphones is PURE VIBRATION!!!!!
Humble as Duncan
Mentality like Kobe
Defense like Pippen(maybe even better)
Fo real on that yo!
Especially how the rules favor the offensive side of the game.
He shined cause LeBron's in L.A
jose stfu LeBron is fucking trash 😂😂
@@amjoseguerrero fuck leflop!!!
"klay thompson is coming back"
Kawhi: "I don't even know where you sitting at uhuhuhuh hahaha HEHEHE"
You actually spelled out the laugh exactly how it sounds 😂😂😂😂
Facts😭😂
*insert a horse nutting*
I read that in his voice :D
@@chiefcheems1404 awww, you big outta pocket. lmao
I love a star that’s humble and it almost feels like he doesn’t wanna boast about it either love him
He has a daughter????.... lowkey lowkey guy like if you had no clue til the video
Me neither. Idk if it's a step daughter or what. We don't even know who his girlfriend is
Yes, and a wife
He’s not married. On Serge’s video he asked him gf or wife and he said gf.
jo jo he has a son too
In the clippers press conference he said thanks to the doctors that delivered his daughter
Very rarely do I watch an entire interview, even when it’s short. 100% love this guy.
This lady tho
Dan 3 Same. I watched every second with a smile on my face. Kawhi is truly a fun guy lol
You already heard “imma fun guy” 😂😭😭😂😂😂
Serina T Now with that comment and little smirk afterwards confirms he is trolling tf out of us 😂
Cause he’s gettin paiddd. His fun guy shirts are being sold out as soon as they restock
Champagne Charmaine had me dead af
Lmaoo I love dis man
WHAT A FUN GUY😭 his responses are on point🙌🏻
3:45 - **mm-hmm-hmm... hmm** between his deadpan serious face laugh and him giving every answer sounding like he's giving a eulogy... I couldn't interview Kawhi with a straight face... most interesting man in the NBA right here 🤣

“Kawhi explains his laugh”
Instant click for me
Yeah he’s super reserved and quiet and that’s cool not everybody needs to be on front street he uses that energy for his loved ones 💙
Kawhi probably smiled/laughed about 5 times in this interview.
DEFINITELY a world record lol
What do expect he’s a fun guy
He want that meow
@@freebandz90 nope
Guinness Book of Kawhorld Records
Chill out
Thank you for gifting us this interview Rachel 😭
It was perfect
She treats everyone the same. Good on her
D Anwar what that’s supposed to mean?
super cringey... why ask about the laugh?
This interview was garbage, who in their right minds would ask Kawhi about free agency when he’s in the finals? Rachel Nichols is fucking garbage and I’m sorry you can’t see that 😂
5:22 5:39
Beard scratching ASMR
Satisfying ASF
I love his answer when she asked about his laugh. This guy is so humble and honest it’s amazing
Imagine being asked to work on your laugh 🤦🏾♂️. Leave my guy Kawhi alonee
Honestly bro
I'm doonnnneee
I don't see why people think it's laugh that he needs to work on. He needs to work on how he expresses himself, and the laugh will follow
Right dumbest question ever
Laugh-Shaming
“ It doesn’t bother me at all, that’s who I am “ 💯💯
U can tell kawhi is probably the best and most loving father especially after how he lost his. His dad would be so proud to see how humble and independent he’s come. Mans couldn’t care if the whole world makes a meme of his laugh he just knows it’s funny cos it’s his laugh and it’s legendary. Who can’t love kawhi
We all need to be more like Kawhi, humble, quiet and hard working
His moon is aquarius look it up
"Board Man gets paid." That's a quote/phrase for motivation for doing hard work right there..
Kawhi. The guy that even when ppl think he’s trash talking, he’s actually motivating his fellow teammates to chase the stat numbers for the NBA scouts
"Bucket. Bucket."
That’s everyday lingo when you grow up hoopin’ on a dirt court 😒
Not even a raptors fan and I’m thinking about getting it tatted somewhere. It’s weird to me how few people get what it means or act like it’s weird. Yes it’s great you can shoot but when you miss I’m grabbing the ball.
You can't hate this guy... Unless you're Skip I guess🤷🏽♂️
Facts
- Hey Skip, wherever you are...SAY HIS NAME!! :-)
What?! THAT guy?! Number TWO??
Or a spurs fan. Which I am and hated him at first for wanting to leave, but you just can't hate Kawhi
DONT DO THIS TO ME SKIIIUUUUUPPP!!!!!!
How can you not love this guy and respect how he carries himself? Awesome!
What an hubble , modest and kind human being. . Toronto will be forever thankful and remember what you brought to this city and country ... wish you all.the best.. hope you stay here in.toronto but if you decide to leave good luck for rest of your career in NBA .
"Board Man Gets Paid" 🤣😂

Someone needs to make a shirt of a mushroom with Kawhi's face and it says "you already know, I'm a fungi"
Imagine him doing the laugh in this calm environment. His outburst always brightens my day.
His such a humble soul 🙏🙏
He's got no social media and he's so humble. Respect!

Ciara Dean he's a unique one indeed
Zenigundam Lol
Og Mane I think that’s what makes him seem like a cool dude. People can’t figure him out. Sometimes we need someone that’s way different than everyone else.

Board man gets payed

Prit Brar shouldn’t idolize anything but god. And stop telling people what they should do
He is my idol and im also the same height as him.. Dont have the wingspan tho xD
Yall are fair weather friends which means yall will be hating on kawhi in the future ... WATCH!!
that last line about his laugh was so genuine. i hope kids hear that.
6:08 lmaooo I love that kinda had me tear up when he was like “Imma laugh how I laugh that’s just who I am”.
