"The match up we didn't know we needed," the Team USA account on X wrote as Edwards was videotaped discussing whether he could compete against the USA table tennis team in their sport, otherwise known as ping pong.

Someone off-camera, possibly Curry, could be heard stating that Edwards would lose 21-0 in a game against a member of the U.S. national team.

That's when Edwards shared a boast that sounded confident but actually showed reverence to the U.S. team's impressive skills.
