During a recent TV broadcast about the Kawhi Leonard extension, his new Toronto Raptors teammate Scottie Barnes decided it was time for some humor.

As the host of the segment discussed what it meant for Leonard to come back to Toronto on a long-term deal, Barnes ate his lunch on-screen as if there wasn't a film crew directly in front of him. Once Barnes heard his name, he inched his way closer to the broadcaster.

When the newscaster said that the extension was reached, Barnes nodded excitedly. He also acted elated when he heard the amount of money that Leonard would receive on his new deal.

Playing along with the bit, when Barnes

heard his name mentioned as Leonard's new teammate on the two-time NBA Finals MVP's second tenure with the team, he made a silly face with one eyebrow raised at the camera.

Considering we don't always see a lot of personality from Leonard, we should look forward to seeing his dynamics with the colorful Barnes.
