Kyle Kuzma enjoyed much success with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he also found his name being thrown in the rumor mill quite often. After their disappointing 2020-21 campaign, it didn’t take too long for the Lakers to package Kuzma in a trade to the Washington Wizards.
Getting traded out of the Lakers however turned out to be a beneficial move for Kuzma’s career. As a matter of fact, Kuzma is playing the best basketball of his career this season with averages of 21.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game on 44.9% shooting from the field.
While Kuzma’s transformation has led to him becoming a valuable asset in the league, his former Wizards teammate Spencer Dinwiddie did not hold back and threw some major shade on Kuzma during his appearance on FanDuel TV.
“There’s a lot of guys in the NBA that really pour their heart and soul into basketball. There are a lot of guys that have different things that drive and motivate them. I think if we look at him and the way he approaches life, fame, all that stuff, his priorities tend to vary. That’s why he dressed the way he does. That’s why he approached basketball the way he does — the comments he makes. Like I said with the Draymond quote, insecurity is loud. You know that you’re there shooting shots to get a contact. You’re probably not even a third star, really, on a good team. Because if you were the Lakers would’ve kept you. Part of the reason you left was to try to make more money. These are all things that are facts.”

This then led to Kyle Kuzma absolutely destroying Spencer Dinwiddie, and he really, really went in. This is vicious. Kuzma dropped an entire thread about Dinwiddie.
Ok so since I’m so “famous” @FanDuelTV & @SDinwiddie_25 let me give you all some clout. I’m usually unbothered but things on the internet but I will not allow this delusional guy to continue to talk about my teammates and I.
Here’s a thread: 😭😭😭

1.) insecurity is loud?
The wizards & I have so much real estate on Dinshittie island. This guy got signed by a team 60ms and was traded before the following season was over. (😳)

3.) You can thank KD & Kyrie and the for spearheading 34 wins before the all star break (11-13 after the break) for your playoffs. 🤣🤣🤣

4.) 2nd option??? More like 2nd point guard Lol my man I watched you for two months at the end of your Wizards tenure (being the second option) average 8-4-4. Sounds good but glad you’re hooping now!

5.) and yup! I got a bag coming 🙏🏽 stop hating lol.

And last but not least!
6.) The only way you’ll ever be worth your contract is if the NBA finally gives you your wish of getting paid in crypto *check the markets* 📉
Enjoy the clicks!
Go @sixers !!!
