Kawhi Leonard #2 of the LA Clippers

The Fun Guy is back. 

As the new face of the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard took the mic to welcome the crowd to the Staples Center ahead of last night's home opener. Yet—like other times in recent history—Kawhi unintentionally gave the internet viral gold.

Kawhi started off his speech by belting out an awkward "Hey, hey, hey" to the crowd. This sound bite quickly made its way to social media where it took on a life of its own. 

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" 😂😂😂 The first two seconds of Kawhi's intro is hilarious

Outside of giving the world another meme, Kawhi also put together an impressive performance in his Clippers debut. Leonard had 30 points and went 10-19 from the field. He also collected 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and a block. But, the most impressive part of this outing was that Kawhi was off the minutes restriction which limited him during his season with Toronto.
