@@theposterking3553 so if it’s that easy why hasn’t it happened yet ? My point is , kuz is 25 about to be 26 years old .

Ingram jus needed experience. Kuz hasn’t made any major improvements from what he was in his rookie year. He is damn near set in his ways.
Kuzma has hit a decent amount of clutch shots before and a couple game winners. He's missed a few as well but I don't remember any player in nba history knocking down 100% of everything. Michael Jordan missed 26 game winning shots according to his own quote. And he's made 9. He missed more game winners than he made by almost 3 times. Over the course of a great players career you remember the impossible feats over their faults and shortcomings. By nature players are inconsistent, hence why we use averages. Half the time they're going to score below it. As it is right now I'm comfortable saying Kuzma is roughly as clutch as all the other "clutch" players in the league right now. He's shown he is capable of doing similar things repeatedly, though who knows, he can easily go up or down from here anytime there's a close game like any player can
@@hrothgr52 because he has someone he's familiar with and can depend on kuzma isn't a transcendent versatile player that can play in a system like chris paul or someone like that
I don't understand how he struggles this team, Bron has no problem passing the ball, he's proved that over his career, it's actually one of his strong suits
Shannon is too critical of Kuzma. He's been BALLING this season. Yes, the shot may come and go, but he has completely redefined how he approaches the game. His hustle and energy is off the charts now, and he has become a plus defender and rebounding monster. Lakers fans (REAL Lakers fans, not casuals) have by and large been very happy with him.
Skip: Kuzma should be the closer... Unc: "Skip we played 40 games and he closed ONE. " ....."So he should be the closer over LeBron &AD?" Skip: (changes topic to LeBrons minutes)
He should really get very close to the same contract as Skip. I know Skip has been covering the game longer. But i think i speak for the majority of the people when i say, we watch this show because of Shannon Sharpe
Uncle Shay should have the bigger contract. If Skip doesn't talk about Lebron James everyday what other commentary does he have? in some way shape or form throughout the show Skip gotta find a way to dig at Lebron. Come on man that is getting old.
Kuzma is a really good player. He can play either forward position, can drive the ball to the rim and hit threes, and has improved his defense to the point where the Lakers actually rely on his defense. On top of all that he’s averaging 2.5 offensive rebounds a game and 7 overall. He is now the ideal 6th man for the Lakers and I am very impressed with the evolution of his game
I love kuz . But he never had the potential that Tatum and Ingram had/have . He came out more polished bc he played all 4 years in college. But if you were smart you would know Tatum and Ingram would be much better
Kuz should definitely be allowed to close more often. More reps in the clutch will make him more comfortable when the time comes in the playoffs and years on into the future.

You guys notice, Lebron never likes to play with and help develop young talent. He either suppresses your game or trades you. Let them play and show their skills! I miss our young talent and It's a shame the Lakers were in position to have their pick of ...Kawhi, D Russell, Julius Randle, AD, PG, Kuzma, Ingram...And which ever other good player wanted to join.
he can't develop young players because he plays for championships. On a championship level of competition you need a certain type of player on your side and its difficult to teach in those situations. It's certain things you have to go thru to become great and without those experiences it won't happen.

Kuzma??? With an Air ball FT? Hahahahaha dont make me laugh.. Hes a bench player i still dont understand why media keeps trying to portrait him as something when hes not...Just like Lonzo
@@VivaLeRevolucion 🤣😂🤣 sure🤡 that’s why Pels renewed his contract right? 😂🤣😂. Bust just like A Bennet or Kwame Brown. But you prob don’t know them, clearly you started watching the NBA in 2010..😆
Kuz needs to think the 6th man can eat especially if he a player that get to the line almost all the time he will b in the game when teams are in the bonus
Kuzma could of been an All-star right now on another team if requested a trade this past summer. He choose to be a role player on the Lakers and he is doing his job well. He can give 20 ppg if needed. He has become one of the better rebounders and defenders in the league. The guy will come off the bench or start. Kuz is 6' 9" and can run up the court like a deer. He can guard 1-5. I know the premise of the show is Lebron vs fill in the blank but Kuz is Lebron's teammate. If AD is not around and Vogel let's Kuz shoot, he will have more offensive performances like this. If AD is there, Kuz offensive numbers will drop dramatically because AD and Lebron are high usage players. Kuzma could be a closer in the right situation but Lebron and AD are not letting that happen because they are better players.
Hopefully Kuzma keeps it up. Because contrary to what Skip keeps trying to push, you need more than one guy that can hit clutch shots to win. Jordan had Paxson and Kerr. Kobe had Horry and Fisher. Lebron had Wade and Kyrie....etc...etc... No team ever won with only one guy that could hit clutch shots.
Kuzma will never get the big numbers if he's in the Lakers but he's become a much more rounded player. He's been forced into multiple roles and has adapted accordingly and i think even if it's not his full potential, at least he's not stagnating. Now he has defense, passing, and rebounding. It's not that bad. And he gets a shot at the title too. He's a champion at his age meanwhile the ex-young Laker team might never see the finals ever
i dont agree Kuzma is still settling into that role and hes doing great considering nobody believed he could. Hes been pretty efficient scoring in general. 3 ball has been sm better than it was and hes actually playing defense. Its fun to make fun of him casue hes goofy but dawg can play. I like what hes becoming and he may not be the superstar we all wanted but he can be one damn good role player or starter down the line however his career plays out as long as he stays healthy
We’ve seen it without AD or even without Lebron, he plays a lot better and the true Kuzma comes out. Would love to see him in New York or his hometown Detroit!
Skip makes a good point. Kuz has the capacity to be a closer. He has the capacity to be an offensive assassin. There's a reason Kobe chose to have dinner with Kuz and snubbed other young players including Ball. Kobe saw a bit of himself in Kuz. But LeBron doesn't see that because LeBron doesn't think like Kobe or MJ. He's not trying to hold Kuz back, but he also can't help Kuz take the next step forward.

@@VivaLeRevolucion 🤣😂🤣 sure🤡 that’s why Pels renewed his contract right? 😂🤣😂. Bust just like A Bennet or Kwame Brown. But you prob don’t know them, clearly you started watching the NBA in 2010..😆
@@VivaLeRevolucion Are the Pelicans gonna make the playoffs?
@NIO what exactly has De’Aaron Fox done since he’s been in the league???
@@VivaLeRevolucion they already eating them. They only hating because of his dad, even though all three sons reached the pro level.
Can you please show the footage of the game as well. It would be nice to see what they're talking about?
Go Lakers!
Kuz needs to think the 6th man can eat especially if he a player that get to the line almost all the time he will b in the game when teams are in the bonus
Skip is insane... 🤯
Anybody that says Kuz is trash is a fake Laker fan or a hater!
Bruh stop saying melo never embraced a role he was never told to be in OKC, granted he was not his best but he was never told to be a bench player
Kuzma could of been an All-star right now on another team if requested a trade this past summer. He choose to be a role player on the Lakers and he is doing his job well. He can give 20 ppg if needed. He has become one of the better rebounders and defenders in the league. The guy will come off the bench or start. Kuz is 6' 9" and can run up the court like a deer. He can guard 1-5. I know the premise of the show is Lebron vs fill in the blank but Kuz is Lebron's teammate. If AD is not around and Vogel let's Kuz shoot, he will have more offensive performances like this. If AD is there, Kuz offensive numbers will drop dramatically because AD and Lebron are high usage players. Kuzma could be a closer in the right situation but Lebron and AD are not letting that happen because they are better players.
slowly but surely kuz is getting better
Kyle kuzma will be perfect off the bench he can actually show his game and be the best player off they bench
Ginobli could’ve started on any NBA team in the league but he accepted his role during the Spurs dynasty off the bench.💪🏽💪🏽💯
U know skip wrong when Jenny talks 😂😂
Agree, he is underutilized... Go to Bucks Kuz, we need you here and you can be a starter for sure
I agree with skip on Kuzma he is a pure scorer he has the mamba mentality put him on the Grizzlies he is averaging around 23 ppg
He's doing everything for this Lakers team. I'm not a Laker fan, but even I can tell He's hooping.
Facts and he really under appreciated by the lakers , he honestly should be a permanent starter..that guy gets so much hate from laker fans
Kuz @ 12mil is a weapon off the bench. He is the Eric Gordon of the Lakers.
Yehp. His confidence is back.
SKIP IS HILARIOUS ! 😭 I don't think he gets enough credit for his capping 😭
So far. He is the most consistent laker...
KUZCONTROL
Not the FLIPPERSSS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm gonna go ahead and say it's a blip but Kuz does have the ability to go off now and then.
Hopefully Kuzma keeps it up. Because contrary to what Skip keeps trying to push, you need more than one guy that can hit clutch shots to win. Jordan had Paxson and Kerr. Kobe had Horry and Fisher. Lebron had Wade and Kyrie....etc...etc... No team ever won with only one guy that could hit clutch shots.
Talk about moving the goal post. Skip, just to win the argument, tried to move Larry Legend into the PF position
Skip is so calm lol. The dude is just trolling leshanon
It’s a blip at the end of the day Kuz will never realize his full potential playing with the Lakers
Kuzma will never get the big numbers if he's in the Lakers but he's become a much more rounded player. He's been forced into multiple roles and has adapted accordingly and i think even if it's not his full potential, at least he's not stagnating. Now he has defense, passing, and rebounding. It's not that bad. And he gets a shot at the title too. He's a champion at his age meanwhile the ex-young Laker team might never see the finals ever
i dont agree Kuzma is still settling into that role and hes doing great considering nobody believed he could. Hes been pretty efficient scoring in general. 3 ball has been sm better than it was and hes actually playing defense. Its fun to make fun of him casue hes goofy but dawg can play. I like what hes becoming and he may not be the superstar we all wanted but he can be one damn good role player or starter down the line however his career plays out as long as he stays healthy
This is one of the few times i agree with skip
9:05 "skip STOP SAYing that"
Bruh keep hating on him it’s so fun to watch when he proves you all wrong
Kuzma defense is really good
Improving
We’ve seen it without AD or even without Lebron, he plays a lot better and the true Kuzma comes out. Would love to see him in New York or his hometown Detroit!
Kuzma has the same attitude Kobe had on the court. Hard not to respect his confidence.
He is fearless , needs to have my control tho
@Miguel Ortega Have you seen the shots Kuzma takes? I’m not saying he’s as good as Kobe, but he plays a lot like him if he were 6’9.
Skip makes a good point. Kuz has the capacity to be a closer. He has the capacity to be an offensive assassin. There's a reason Kobe chose to have dinner with Kuz and snubbed other young players including Ball. Kobe saw a bit of himself in Kuz. But LeBron doesn't see that because LeBron doesn't think like Kobe or MJ. He's not trying to hold Kuz back, but he also can't help Kuz take the next step forward.
He will never be a closer over Lebron. Skip was absolutely wrong. He can be an option sure, but never the go-to
@@leultrainstinct406 Not on the Lakers as long as LeBron is there. But Skip was right about Kuz's mindset. He's being held back.
