Since the inaugural Fanatics Fest kicked off on Friday, there have been questions about what the festival entails. The event, which is the first of its kind, blends sports and entertainment, with some of the biggest names in both industries.
The NBA was well represented at the event, with many Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers in attendance, like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dr. J, Julius Erving and Kevin Durant. Moreover, stars and legends from other sports like the NFL, MLB and NHL also attended.
When it comes to entertainment, Fanatics made sure to include a packed lineup of WWE stars both past and present, as well as some iconic rappers like Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.
On Saturday, Kyle Kuzma took part in The Ultimate Fantasy Draft alongside Fred Taylor, Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, NFL legend Jerry Rice, Deestroying, Lou Young and comedian Druski.
The Fanatics Fest site describes the Ultimate Fantasy Draft as:
"Come join iconic superstars from the NFL, NBA, and beyond come together for one special day to draft and discuss their favorite players from the upcoming 2024/2025 season. Each special guest will offer their professional takes on what it takes to be great and fantasy expertise like never seen before."
While many of the aforementioned athletes and celebrities have their own autograph signings and meet-and-greet sessions, it doesn't appear as though Kyle Kuzma has another event scheduled on either day beyond the Ultimate Fantasy Draft event.
