He bragged about his teammate, Rudy Gobert, for having $300 million. Additionally, Edwards boasted about being well-endowed. The last part that the three-time All-Star said didn't sit well with the league.

On Tuesday, Love took the opportunity to use his "meme expertise." He posted a clip from the 1997 movie Boogie Nights, featuring actor Mark Wahlberg as Dirk Diggler. Love posted a scene on Instagram where Diggler exposed himself in front of the mirror and called himself a star.

Kevin Love used LeBron James' iconic quote from the Heat Big 3 era when he trolled Stephen A. Smith

One of the biggest stories this season was when LeBron James confronted ESPN's Stephen A. Smith during a game. Since that happened, Smith went on to talk about what happened for quite some time.

It was the perfect chance for Kevin Love as he used the clip when the four-time champion was first introduced to the Miami crowd. The clip he used was James telling the fans how many titles he'd win with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

"When someone asks Stephen A how many times he’s going to keep bringing this s**t up…" Love posted.

Eventually, Smith stopped talking about it after weeks of it being the main topic of the analyst.
