Kawhi Leonard Joking About the Kawhi Laugh Is the Perfect Ending to the NBA Season

The entire NBA season came around full circle Monday when Kawhi Leonard clowned his infamous laugh from his introductory press conference.

Remember back in September when Kawhi Leonard spoke to the media with Danny Green at their introductory press conference as members of the Raptors?

If you don't, you've at least seen the most important moment from that presser.

Well, one full NBA season later, Kawhi is the one getting the last laugh as he and the Raptors claimed the 2019 NBA championship.

So during their celebratory parade Monday, Leonard couldn't help but go full "fun guy" with the people of Toronto (including a Kawhi impersonator).

From rocking a "Board Man Gets Paid." shirt to getting serenaded by chants of "five more years" led by teammate Kyle Lowry, the day belonged to Leonard just as much as it did Drake.

But when Leonard got a chance to speak to all of Toronto, he provided one of the greatest mic drops of all time.

And that is how you deliver a joke that was nine months in the making.
