A white reporter attempted to say Kawhi Leonard’s catchphrase and failed miserably.
“What it do baby?” became a legit meme when Leonard’s teammate Serge Ibaka posted a clip of him saying the phrase on social media, according to USA Today.
Like many things popularized by Black folks, it was bound to Columbus-ed and butchered by an overeager white person. The cringe-inducing moment finally happened when Leonard spoke to reporter Taylor Bisciotti on the red carpet at The Kids’ Choice Sports awards.

“My producer David has a little wager to open this up and say what it be baby?” Bisciotti said.
Leonard was taken aback but a good sport.
“What it do baby?” he said with a chuckle. “That’s funny.”
Taylor, you had one job.
We're not the only ones shaking our heads.

One day, white folks will stop veering out of their lanes because they crash every time.
