Even though he’s quite a decent player with a promising career in the NBA, Kyle Kuzma is far from being a fan favorite. In fact, not even Los Angeles Lakers fans seem to respect him that much after winning an NBA Championship.

Kuzma’s careless and vain attitude has often rubbed people the wrong way. Some believe he’s overrated and shouldn’t even be a Laker, to begin with, while others say he’ll never fulfill his true potential.

Whatever the case may be, it’s pretty safe to say that Kuzma has been constantly targetted on social media every time he talks. Now, things may have gotten a little bit too far after his recent Twitter activity.

ā€œAmericans can’t live inside a bubble. We were very fortunate. And quite frankly that’s the only we could ā€œcontrolā€ a spread. I don’t see another way. There you go,ā€ he responded, before also saying ā€œYeah try putting a bubble over Los Angeles see how that works kid lol.ā€

Needless to say, that didn’t sit well for some people and they let him know everything they thought about him and his views:

Obviously, no one is looking for health or science advice from NBA players, let alone Kyle Kuzma. Hopefully, we’ll get this pandemic under control rather sooner than later and just let this terrible passage of history in the past.
