“Lakers won the trade” Twitter trolls Kyle Kuzma for his Shaqtin highlight as he fails on a LeBron James tribute dunk

Kyle Kuzma's missed dunk

Kyle Kuzma is all over the NBA headlines and the reason isn’t the good time he is having with the Washington Wizards. Instead, it’s the Shaqtin moment he got registered under his name. Kyle Kuzma for some good seconds really thought he is Kobe Bryant or LeBron James as he went to dunk the ball in fashion. But unfortunately, he lacks those legendary finishing skills and now is getting trolled for it.

Kyle Kuzma has been amazing with the Washington Wizards after the Lakers traded him away as a part of a package to get Russell Westbrook. Kuzma this season so far is averaging 17.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. The above-mentioned stats were better than what they are now. As Kyle Kuzma is going through a bad stretch for the past two games.

Against the James Harden led Philadelphia 76ers, Kyle Kuzma’s contribution was limited to only 9 points, 2 assists, 1 block and 7 rebounds. He suited up for thirty-three minutes played some defense and as expected ended up on the unfortunate losing end with the score being 111-118. He had no major highlight-worthy play. But still, a highlight reel of Kuz is viral all over the internet and fans are loving it.

The video clip of Kyle Kuzma missing LeBron James’ tribute dunk for Kobe Bryant is all over the internet. As Kuz like every other season has made it to the Shaqtin list and he can also walk away with the Shaqtin MVP award if he keeps rolling in the same way.
