"Hop off my d**k please": Kyle Kuzma fires a no-holds-barred reply to ex-NBA stars mocking his fashion choices
Kyle Kuzma clapped back at two former NBA stars for making fun of his fashion. After former teammate Tyus Jones joined Lou Williams, Chandler Parsons and Michelle Beadle on the "Run It Back" show, they touched on Kuzma's outfit, which didn't sit well with the veteran role player.
"This is not the first time… hop off my 🍆 please!" Kuzma tweeted on Wednesday.
The 2020 NBA champion has drawn a lot of attention with some of his pregame clothes. Parsons, Beadle and Williams asked Jones about Kuzma's outfit selections, but he wasn't trying to bring down his former teammate.
"We can talk about Kuz," Williams said. "What I'm talking about, some of these outfits, give me the inside scoop. Did Kuz really feel like he was having it on? Or is he trolling? Or does he have a stylist? He can't think he was having it on."
After Jones said that Kyle Kuzma was trying to set a trend within the team, Williams and Parsons kept mocking the forward.
"Honestly, Tyus, I didn't see anybody else wear that," he added. "I don't know which trend he thought he said, I didn't see enough; I didn't see any different color variants of it. I didn't see anything."
This led to Parsons saying that Kuzma should set a trend to not wear his outfits again while the rest of the crew laughed. Meanwhile, the player keeps trying new pieces of clothes and even accessories, including a $92,500 De Bethune Starry Sky watch.
Kyle Kuzma talks about trade rumors
Kyle Kuzma has also discussed the challenges of being constantly involved in trade rumors. After several years of going through trade rumors, the player has learned how to be unbothered by the external noise. He said that only one player is untouchable.
"You see a lot of times when players get into trade talks, it affects their games," Kuzma said. "But it really doesn’t matter at the end of the day.
"One, it’s a business. Two, everybody in the NBA is tradable, except for (Victor Wembanyama)."
He was traded to the Wizards in 2021 as part of the move that sent Russell Westbrook to Los Angeles. After that moment, Kuzma was mentioned in many more trade rumors, but he doesn't seem to be losing sleep over them.
