Why do haters always portray Kuzma as an awful person?

| Hilarious how some other nba fans were criticizing Kuzma, because they thought he was taking too many shots. |

Tatum took a (bleep) ton too. It’s that Mamba mentality. I’m shooting, not passing, (bleep) everyone else. Everyone loves Kobe, everyone loves Tatum, they can love Kuzma as well. |

There's something about Kuzma that reminds me of Dlo. Watching Kuzma yesterday reminded me of how I knew Dlo would be great (I thought he would eventually be an all-star when he was with us). It's that they both score effortlessly. He can put up so many points, and it doesn't look like he really did anything, or tried that hard to get those points.
Contrast that to someone like BI, and BI can score, but it seems like it takes a lot of effort/time, and I think that's because he doesn't shoot three's, and shoots a lot of long 2's. Hopefully, some random ass team in the East gets AD, and we sign another star and end up keeping our guys. |

I love the thread title, “LG whines about it...”
This place has become terrible lately. LG has turned into one giant Brandon Ingram thread post Russell trade. Something good happened last night. (bleep) enjoy it. |

DLO just shoots jumpers. Kuzma has a full arsenal of moves. Something the national media ignores. |

Doesn't even make sense. If everyone was guaranteed $25K just for appearing then you don't say things like "bonus 1-2-3" out of a timeout in a glorified exhibition game. |

The winning team got $25K.

Still shows money as motivation.
Hopefully the "bonus 1-2-3" quote isn't a look into his character down the line. |

dude it's the rising stars game
it's a glorified pick-up game that doesn't mean bleep
btw, players also get bonuses for winning the finals – if kuzma is motivated by money and that leads him to doing everything he can to help the team win the finals, is it even necessarily a bad thing?

Kuzma was an absolute steal at 28 in the draft.
He is a solid third option if he can be consistent.
Kuzma is actually producing more than Lonzo or Ingram
who were second choices in the draft. |

Because he was. |

The perfect Laker weekend would be Kuz MVP , Kuz skills challenge winner, Lebron MVP 
But seriously if I had to bet money for the skills challenge I got D.Fox or Trae Young.
I really wish Lonzo was competing in all of these events. |
