Kyle Kuzma and Trainer Appear to Be Calling Out LeBron in Since-Deleted Tweets and IG Stories
By Jerry Trotta
It would appear that everything is not all sunshine and rainbows in La La Land, despite the Lakers sitting at the summit of the Western Conference standings with a 24-7 record.
Ever-reliable and persistent social media detectives managed to dig up some potential dirt involving Kyle Kuzma and his trainer.
Kuzma's trainer took to Instagram to brazenly question LeBron James' skillset and work ethic while simultaneously claiming that The King is afraid of Kawhi Leonard. Rather suspiciously, Kuz later posted a tweet that makes it seem like he's agreeing with his trainer's shocking assessment.
Call us crazy and clamoring for some drama, but that looks alarmingly suspect from Kuzma. The timeline adds up, and it's quite clear that his trainer hasn't been fond of LeBron for quite some time.
Both Kuzma's tweet and his trainer's Instagram story have since been deleted.
If there's one player that Lakers Nation are going to side with here -- even given their notorious irrational tendencies -- it's LBJ, and one particular fan had a hilarious tweet in the wake of this stunning development.
The Lakers are in the midst of a four-game losing streak following the loss to the Clippers on Christmas Day. If Kuzma and James have some beef, things could get worse in a hurry.
