Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams impersonated star small forward Kawhi Leonard by doing Kawhi's âHey, hey, heyâ line from opening night.

After the game, ClutchPoints' Tomer Azarly asked Leonard about Williams' impersonation of him. In typical Leonard fashion, Kawhi said he didn't even hear Lou:

Leonard is arguably the quietest superstar in NBA history. The three-time All-Star, two-time Defensive Player of the Year and two-time Finals MVP just wants to play basketball and win as much as possible. He doesnât care about the fame or media hoopla which comes with being a global star.
However, when heâs off the court, the Clippers superstar likes to go fishing, golfing and hang out with his kids. Leonard does talk in the Clippers' huddle and locker room. He just doesnât do much of that with the media.
The Clippers are 12-5 on the season after defeating the Pelicans. Leonard is averaging 25.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 43.5 percent from the field, 30.0 percent from beyond the arc and 82.6 percent from the free-throw line.
Williams, meanwhile, is putting up 22.5 points off the bench for the Clippers. He's shooting 43.4 percent overall, 35.8 percent from the 3-point line and 86.1 percent from the charity stripe.
