It just blows my mind that the Bucks front office was in a meeting like "You know what could be the answer to our championship problem? Kyle Kuzma."

"But picc, Khris Middleton was washed, would he be giving them any more?"

Yes. Yes he would.

I remember Laker fans were saying he was better than Tatum their rookie and sophomore seasons

at least back then he was young, we didn't know what a useless Gen Z bum he is mentally and..he could halfway shoot. now he's neither of those things.

Star players meddling in front office moves usually does not work out well for the franchise... Giannis has to chill with the poor man's LBJ imitation, he forced Dame, Doc and Kuz...

I am so proud Kyle finally shut his critics and proved them wrong. For years I was hearing he is Empty stats guy.

He showed he definitively is NOT.

Don't think I've heard one peep about it being Giannis, maybe Karate just likes drama like a lot of NBA fans :lol:

Did he tank the shots to get the record?

This is very disrespectful of Snell's record-setting career. Snell did achieve a 50-40-90 season in the NBA. Specifically, he had a 51.5% field goal percentage, 56.9% three-point percentage, and 100% free throw percentage in 2021. This makes him the first and only NBA player to ever achieve a 50-50-100 season with at least 100 attempts, as he had 100% free throw accuracy.
And if that wasn't enough he went three seasons without missing a free throw. Give this man his flowers!

Imagine running a team that is a dark-horse contender and deciding that the move that the player you need to acquire for the playoff run is ... Kyle Kuzma. I mean, I just can't.

Fun fact - Tony Snell got more minutes as a Bulls rookie than did Jimmy Butler, and only 5 minutes per game fewer than Scottie Pippen.

:lol: but I was told that he was a great third option because he won a bubble ring next to LeBron and Davis. How could this be??

He actually used to be a solid player for the Lakers. Coming out of college he was a scrappy underdog. Seems like he got too big of a head playing for the Lakers.
