The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off winning their league-high 17th NBA Championship. And, while some people still believe it was a fluke and it shouldn't count as a full ring because of the bubble, there's just nothing anyone can do about it.
The truth is that LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers were the most consistent and efficient force in the league from start to finish. And even though it seemed like they weren't the most overpowered team, they put together a solid core to compete at the highest level.
More than that, it seems like the Lakers' squad really meshed together pretty well. They were more than teammates and established a strong bond off the court that also helped them fight for a common goal.
LeBron James Shouts Out His Former Teammates, Doesn't Talk About Kyle Kuzma
That's why LeBron James wanted to take his time to appreciate those former Lakers players who helped him win his fourth ring. He shouted out Danny Green, JaVale McGee, Rajon Rondo, Quinn Cook, and Dwight Howard in an interview with former NBA player Richard Jefferson.
Jefferson didn't hesitate to test the waters on Kyle Kuzma and added him to LeBron James' salute. The King was clearly shocked by this hilarious comment and just told him to shut up while everybody else cracked it up.
Kuzma has always been involved in trade rumors and it seems like the Los Angeles Lakers are wary of signing him to a multi-year deal. He's allegedly looking for a 'sizeable contract' and there isn't a true consensus on whether he's worthy of it or not.
So, if we're to judge by LeBron James' reaction, it seems like there could be something going on with Kuzma's future. Then again, he did a great job of just shaking off the question and going on with this salute.
