I'm telling you now, if young Kobe had social media then the fallout from it would have been tremendous. |

I guess kuz working out in front reporters has paid off y’all really believe he the only one working hard to get better ... guess that why josh hart had jokes mocking his workout pic

Good stuff Kyle. |

I’ve always thought dudes who always post about their workouts generally don’t workout more than guys who don’t post about them and they workout for the wrong reasons. But that’s just me. |

To be fair, it's the reporters (and I use the term loosely) that are usually filming and putting it up on social media. For Kuz I think it's the media that has access to the rookie workouts who then see Kuzma in there working out. So they film or take a pic.
Kuzma seems legit in his love to get better. IMO. |

Kyle Kuzma is at the facility and he looks noticeably bigger than the last time that I saw him, in a good way. He's bulked up and is in great shape. Was working on ball-handling drills with Miles Simon a moment ago.

Listening to Ramona talk about Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma and guaging which of the 3 the Lakers would likely keep if they had to trade 1 or 2. Not sure if this was just her own opinion, or the Lakers line of thinking... but she said Kuzma was the keeper. The reasoning because out of all the other 3 guys he was the one that has both the "it" factor and that "fire" to be one of the best in the game.
Good players have 2 types of drives:
- ones that strive to get better for fear of being looked as a failure
- ones that strive to get better because they want to be one of the best in the game
Not saying the other 2 don't, but you can definitely see it with Kuzma. He's always playing with a chip on his shoulder and wants to prove he'll be one of the best. Reminds me of how Damian Lillard approaches the game. _________________

^^ It doesn't hurt Kuzma is the best shooter out of the bunch and the potential to be able to be a decent defender. He could fit with any of the free agent stars. |

I love me some Kuzma, but...
1) since when did Ingram not have the "fire" to be great? Isn't that one of the guy's major selling points? and...
2) if the Lakers really do prefer a nearly 23-year-old Kuzma over Ball and Ingram because Kuz has "fire," there may be some deep-seated problems in the front office. _________________ Under New Management |

Poor Lonzo... |
Considering Kuzma was already in great physical shape, how much could he bulk up in two months?

Zo seems kinda wimpy. A skinny 16 yr old Kuz could probably take him in a fight lol. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."
