Kyle Kuzma Rumors

While other leagues get lost in debates about the integrity of the game, NBA players go out of pocket on the regular and don’t hear a peep from the league. When asked — let’s take a moment here and consider the sentence I am about to write — about Giannis Antetokounmpo telling fans on Instagram Live that his girlfriend gave him a bell that says “Ring for a Blowjob” on Valentines Day, an NBA spokesman said they didn’t even remember hearing about it. Even teammates sharing inside jokes are shrugged aside. Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma have been roasting each other online for the better part of a year now. The Lakers reportedly wanted them to tone things down for their own purposes, but the league-at-large seems unbothered. Rather than respond to online hoopla, it allows these moments to play out, redefining what and who qualifies as a ‘story’. As a result of players posting their offseason workouts on Instagram, for example, NBA trainers have become minor celebrities. Next year, you could read an article about the trainers’ new agents. Even an NBA player unfollowing his team account is an event.
