Kyle Kuzma has quickly become the most polarizing figure around the NBA. However, it seems like the balance is turning towards the criticism more and more as he continues to establish his presence around the league.
Some people believe that Kuzma isnāt nearly half as good as he thinks he is and that heās vastly overpaid. Others think that heās exactly the kind of player the Los Angeles Lakers need and that heās on a bargain deal.
Perhaps none of them are right and the truth is somewhere around the middle. What is a fact is that Kuzma has become the most picked on guy when it comes to the NBA community on Twitter.
Kendrick Perkins Says Kyle Kuzma Couldnāt Guard A Parked Car
As a matter of fact, even former NBA player turned analyst Kendrick Perkins had the audacity to call out Kuzma for his defense, hilariously claiming that he and Denverās Michael Porter Jr couldnāt guard a parked car:
āI donāt know who gets picked on more out of Michael Porter JR. or Kyle Kuzmaā¦but both Canāt Guard A Parked Car!!! Carry onā¦ā the former NBA Champion said on Twitter, adding that heās not a hater and that the fact is that Kuzma is a defensive liability:
āHater? Nah Iām speaking factsā¦he can get a bucket but on the defensive end heās a liability!!! At the end of the day I said what I said homeboy,ā the controversial big man replied to a disgruntled fan.
To be fair, Kyle Kuzma has made great strides in the defensive end over the past couple of seasons. Perhaps heāll never be a plus defender, but heās vastly improved as a help defender and on-ball stopper. Then again, you canāt deny that this analogy of guarding a parked carwas simply hysterical.
