Los Angeles Lakers news: Given the multitude of superstars on the Team USA roster, it would be hard for one individual to stand out from the pack. Apart from the fact that these guys are all generally on a level playing field, there’s really no desire for any of them to outshine everyone else on the squad. At the end of the day, it’s the gold medal in the Olympics that matters the most.
Be that as it may, there is still one particular player who has separated himself from the group — at least in terms of being the funniest dude on the team. Lakers superstar Anthony Davis spilled the beans on who this player is, and I’m pretty certain you wouldn’t have guessed who it is.
Los Angeles Lakers News: Anthony Davis Says Kawhi Leonard Is Funniest Guy on Team USA
According to Davis, the most hilarious teammate he has on the national team is Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard:
“The funniest is for sure Kawhi. Kawhi’s really funny,” Davis said with a big smile on his face. “Believe it or not.”

That is actually hard to believe considering how Leonard has the reputation of being the quietest guy on the team — regardless of what roster he’s on.
Well, Leonard’s image to the public appears to be totally different from how his teammates see him. Davis, for one, clearly believes that Kawhi is hilarious.
This then begs the question: what makes the six-time All-Star so funny? Is he the class clown type who has a witty joke about any topic under the sun? Or is Leonard unintentionally hilarious because of his unconventional vibe?
These are the burning mysteries we will all have to live with up until we unearth the truth about the real Kawhi Leonard.
