When asked about this during his All-Star media session, Edwards confirmed he called Leonard old in this viral clip, saying, "I just told him it's old dude vs. young dude."
Edwards added that he has been watching Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for a long time, which makes it a cool experience to be teammates with them in the All-Star game. This is one of the more exciting parts about All-Star Weekend, as rivals on the court get an opportunity to team up.
The Clippers and Timberwolves have been two of the best teams in basketball this season, and remain in a tightly contested battle atop the Western Conference standings. Minnesota has been a tough matchup for LA this season, currently owning a 2-0 season series lead over the Clippers.
Despite this, the Clippers still remain in pursuit of the Western Conference's top seed, entering the All-Star break just two games back of Minnesota. This All-Star game should be a fun one, with Edwards, Leonard, and George ready to team up before going back to being opponents.
