The video also teased the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago's Jackson Park on June 19, via ESPN's Anthony Gharib.

Edwards previously told Obama "I'm the truth" in a viral video while the former President greeted the United States men's basketball team ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

The pair also shared an interaction with Detroit Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff during the 2026 NBA All-Star festivities.

After Obama told Bickerstaff that he "wore [Edwards] out" when they competed the prior day, Edwards chimed in.

"Nah, he didn't wear me out," Edwards said. "He did aight for an old man."

Edwards' confidence has helped him become one of the NBA's top offensive players and go on multiple deep playoff runs throughout his career, currently ranking No. 3 in the league with his scoring average of 29.5 points per game.

The four-time All-Star is also recording 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals on a nightly basis this season while shooting a career-high 49.2 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from three-point territory.
