When we play alongside LeBron James, there is one thing to know: when the King asks for the ball to organize the game, it is given to him without asking questions. Yesterday, however, Kyle Kuzma decided to deliberately ignore his teammate, something that the fans did not appreciate very much …
The Lakers are among the most anticipated teams in the famous bubble. Already because Frank Vogel’s men are the big favorites to win the title at the end of the playoffs, but also because everyone is curious to see evolve LeBron James in this very special environment.
And the first signs given by the King are more than positive as to his level of play. In 15 minutes spent on the field, the King showed that he was ready with 12 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 interception, the all at 4/6 shooting. After 4 months away from the field, his influence is still great.
In fact, only one event came to “spoil” this great recovery for the King during the game against the Mavericks. After a defensive stop, LeBron claims the ball from Kyle Kuzma to be able to organize the attack of the Lakers … A request totally ignored by a Kuz determined to achieve his Coast-to-Coast.

The concern is that in addition to having completely snubbed LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma completely missed his action by missing his little floater, however little, if not disputed … Obviously, social networks have had fun with the situation with always hilarious comments.

My whole Twitter timeline insulting Kyle Kuzma… Basketball is finally back guys!
Beyond this fairly significant action, Kyle Kuzma was also illustrated by his inability to defend on Doncic wound throughout the game. A much more serious problem as the playoffs approach, which could also cost him a few minutes in Frank Vogel’s rotation …
Next time, Kyle Kuzma will think twice before ignoring LeBron James. It was an exhibition match, of course, but there are still patterns to follow.
