The ‘Kung Fu Panda' voice actor laid into Kawhi Leonard for choosing to come to the ‘wrong' L.A. team, the Clippers, before unleashing some obscenities.

While we won't know how they stack up against each other until we see an actual matchup, pundits are working overtime to determine which team will come out on top. The consensus seems to be that while the Lakers might have a better star duo, the Clippers have assembled a deeper roster.

The only guaranteed bet right now is that the first STAPLES Center showdown between the two will be must-see T.V. Los Angeles is once again a basketball hotspot, and the stars have come out to play.
