Kyle Kuzma’s Trash-Talk Majorly Backfired

In the first half of last night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings, Kyle Kuzma talked some trash about Justin Jackson. After telling his teammates first, Kuzma was filmed talking Buddy Hield, while being mic’d up.

“He can’t guard me down there. He can’t guard me down there,” Kuzma said to Hield. “You gotta be guarding me because if he guarding me, he’s barbecue chicken. Justin. Just letting you know.”

This trash-talk, against the tanking Kings, was premature. The Lakers went on to lose the game and ‘post trash-talk’ Kuzma shot 3/13 from the field.
