Kyle Kuzma Thought He Was LeBron Until LeBron Showed Up

Kyle Kuzma had an amazing rookie campaign. It all came somewhat surprising, considering he only was drafted 27th overall. Prior to the draft, Kuzma had been projected to go in the second round or even undrafted, now he is one of the league’s young stars.

At the beginnig of this season’s preseason training, Kuzma was absolutely killing it and felt undestroyable, until he got a reality check from LeBron James. That’s what Lakers general manager Magic Johnson revealed to Sliver Screen & Roll.

“For a week, nobody in this gym could touch Kyle Kuzma because he just lit it up for a whole week until LeBron came back (laughs),” Johnson said in jest. “He thought he was LeBron until LeBron showed up.”
