Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard is known as a quiet sort of guy. In fact, he doesn't speak that much at all. So when fans heard his laugh during this year's Media Day gathering in Toronto, they couldn't get enough. And now, thanks to a new website, Leonard's laugh is just a click away.
“What would you like people to know about you?” a reporter asked Leonard during Media Day.
“I'm a fun guy,” Leonard replied. “Obviously, I love the game of basketball. I mean, there are just more question that you would have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I just can't give you a whole spiel. I don't even know where you're sitting at (insert now-famous Kawhi laugh).”
Leonard's laugh is unmistakable. Now, thanks to a new website that was recently created, those who are interested can hear it any time they please.
The site, which is called makekawhilaugh.com, features an animated version of Kawhi's face and a button that makes him laugh. If you're in need of a quick laugh, head on over to the site.
Leonard spoke about the reaction his laugh has received online prior to Tuesday night's preseason game against the Utah Jazz.

The Raptors acquired Leonard by way of a trade with the San Antonio Spurs earlier this summer. As part of the deal, Toronto received Leonard and Danny Green, while the Spurs got DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and 2019 first-round pick.
There were several reports that indicated Leonard did not want to play in Toronto, but he seems to be warming up to it now.
