‘So Spicy’: Kyle Kuzma Can’t Stop Praising Chris Paul and Suns During Their Game vs His Former Team Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are getting blown out at the Staples Center by the offense of the former NBA finalists Phoenix Suns. A repeat of the disaster that saw the Los Angeles Lakers getting eliminated from the NBA Playoffs last season. However, one major difference from last season other than a healthy roster for the Lakers is Kyle Kuzma.

They traded Kuzma to the Washington Wizards as a part of the deal that brought Russell Westbrook to the Lakers. And Kuzma is currently watching this blowout loss and cannot stop praising the team for blowing out his former employers. He took to Twitter and posted this during the game.

As the former NBA finalists put on a dominant performance over the Lakers, Kuzma could not stop praising Devin Booker and Chris Paul. Both Booker and Paul had some highlights and key takeaways from this game.

Paul achieved a career feat in this game against his Banana Boat buddy LeBron James. He became the first player in NBA history to have 20,000 points and 10,000 assists in his career. Booker had a tough response to Westbrook‘s classic celebration on him.

Did Kyle have an amicable departure from the Lakers?

Kyle Kuzma faced a lot of criticism for his performance with the Lakers, especially from the fans. However, the Lakers gave him a lot of opportunities to get his momentum going. Despite that, he did not get any consistency in his game. Consequently, the front office had no choice but to trade him for a more crucial piece in their championship run.

In his appearance on “No Chill with Gilbert Arenas”, Kuzma admitted that he has no bitterness towards the Lakers. Instead, he felt it’s “all love” between him and the franchise that drafted him in 2017. However, we are seeing a pattern develop where Kuzma is the first to celebrate a Lakers loss on social media. Be it as trolling them or appreciating their opponents.

So, is it really all love between him and the roster? Or is it no love lost?
