Kawhi Leonard and Paul George had an awkward moment at the end of their introductory press conference with the Los Angeles Clippers, but for a good (and amusing) reason.

The press conference ended with both Leonard and George raising their Clippers jerseys for the first time. However, they had to do a second take after switching positions for the photo op.

While it doesn't seem that big of a deal, they did the switching to represent Los Angeles. As can be noticed, Leonard's No. 2 and George's No. 13 created “213” — which is a an area code for Los Angeles, California as well as Snoop Dogg's former rap trio.

Of course, that is unintentional, but it makes for a good bit of trivia. Kawhi has been using No.2 throughout his entire NBA career, while George has been wearing No.13 since 2014.

Kawhi and PG are expected to lead the Clippers to a championship next season, especially after their superb 2018-19 campaign. Leonard led the Toronto Raptors to their first-ever NBA title, while George has been nominated for the season MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards.
