Teammate Stephen Curry tried to set up a challenge between Edwards and the American table tennis team.
"They said they could smack you 21 nothing," Curry said in a social media post shared by Team USA.
"I got some people here that say they gonna beat me in ping-pong, 21-0," Edwards said.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it. I'm not having it. I'm not having it. Eleven to zero, I'm scoring one point.

Edwards made his Olympic debut today as Team USA took on Serbia.
