During the unveiling one Lakers was heard heckling Kawhi and PG about LA being a “Lakers town”.

There was a Lakers fan that showed up and started heckling, called the Clippers mural graffiti. “This is a Lakers’ zip code.” Said Clips we’re gonna end up in Seattle. Honestly, not bad trash talk to kick things off.
