Scottie Barnes<\/a> had some fun with the camera this week during a live news report about his newest Toronto Raptors<\/a> teammate.<\/p>\n

Barnes was enjoying his lunch while standing outside the Raptors\u2019 OVO Athletic Centre when reporter Sean Leathong began a live sports segment on CTV News. The All-Star\u2019s ears perked up when he heard Leathong mention his name.<\/p>\n

The shoutout gave Barnes the idea to mess with the broadcast. He stood behind Leathong and made faces as the veteran newscaster talked about Kawhi Leonard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Barnes even made some hilarious facial expressions when Leathong mentioned the new $115 million contract extension Leonard signed<\/a> earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

Barnes has developed into the face of the Raptors and the team\u2019s best player since Leonard led Toronto to a title in 2019. With the trade that brought Leonard back to Toronto, the team has paired up its past franchise face with its present.<\/p>\n

But the personalities of the two star forwards could not be more opposite. The Barnes-Leonard interactions may very well turn into comedy goal throughout their time together in Toronto, especially if the team does turn into a contender in the East.<\/p>\n
