Kawhi Leonard is a fun guy, and his new Los Angeles Clippers teammates Patrick Beverley and Landry Shamet can attest to that.
During the Clippers' media day, both Beverley and Shamet insisted that Leonard is “funny as hell” despite not smiling a lot and showing some emotion. While the media has portrayed Kawhi as a “robot” of destruction built to destroy dynasties, his two new teammates wanted to paint a lighter picture of the two-time Finals MVP.
Per Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints:
Landry and Pat on Kawhi Leonard.
Landry Shamet: “Oh, he's funny.”
Patrick Beverley: “He's funny as hell! He works extremely hard too.”
Leonard has always been seen as a serious player who only cares about basketball. However, things have started to change since his departure from San Antonio.
In fact, last season with the Toronto Raptors, Leonard went viral after he claimed he's a “fun guy” when asked what he wanted people to know about him. He followed that up with a rather hilarious “laugh” — which some found creepy.

Leonard is starting a new chapter in his career with the Clippers. Hopefully, fans will get to see that “fun” and light side of him as he gets more media coverage and exposure in the City of Angels.
