A Kawhi Leonard impersonator seemed to have enjoyed himself during the recent Toronto Raptors championship parade, as he was seen happily signing autographs and taking selfies with some rather unwitting Raptors fans.

It's pretty funny that some fans seem to have actually thought that they were face-to-face with the two-time Finals MVP winner. Some supporters even went as far as having their newly-purchased team merch signed by the impostor. The best part about this is that save for the uniform and the corn rows, the dude barely looks like Kawhi.
Maybe some fans were just having fun by playing along with the joke, but from what we gather from this brief clip, it does seem that there were some supporters who genuinely believed that this was the three-time All-Star in the flesh.
Unfortunately for Raptors fans, their team might end up having to search for a Kawhi impersonator — or at least someone who can somewhat fill the huge void he will be leaving — on the court, if Leonard does decide to sign with another team in the summer.
The two-time NBA champions has now become the hottest prospect in the upcoming free agency market, and despite recently achieving the ultimate goal of lifting the NBA title with the Raptors, Kawhi's future with the team remains to be anything but certain.
For the Toronto faithful, there's nothing they can do now but hope and pray, because if a championship is not enough to convince Leonard to stay, than perhaps nothing else will.
