LeBron Gives Bold Update On His Relationship With Kyle Kuzma

LeBron James plays well with his Lakers teammates, and this time he talked about Kyle Kuzma and his game on the court. According to LeBron, Kuzma gets better with each game they play in.

Kyle Kuzma scores in every contest, but the world of NBA criticized him for his defensive game.

The 23-year-old player contributed in Sunday’s game with the Phoenix Suns. He scored 23 points, eight rebounds, three assists and a block.

LeBron James scored 22 points, and said a few great words about Kuzma.

“He’s not allowing anybody to put a cap on him and saying he’s just a scorer, I think he wants to be more than that. He’s continuing to get better and better, not just offensively but defensively. He’s just playing all-round solid basketball. His ability to make plays, his ability to rebound as of late, obviously we know how well he can score, but he wants to make more of an impact not just for himself but for the team,” LeBron said.

“It started as soon as I signed, he was the first guy to call me off the team. It actually started before that, we’d been talking when I was in Cleveland, he wanted to pick my brain, talk about how he could get better. We’ve had that mutual respect and I saw how talented he was playing him twice last year and watching him the late games when I was in the Eastern Conference. Our relationship on the floor is getting better and better, if he moves I’m going to find him I’m always looking for him and he knows that,” King James said of his relationship with Kuzma.

“I texted him early on [last season] after we played Cleveland Cavaliers trying to figure out what he does with his body, how he takes care of it. I’m inquisitive, I ask questions. He helped me out,” Kuzma said.

“Just because I know that I can do it. I think the narrative is I don’t play defense but I’ve been getting better every single game, I want to be a complete player, all great players do it at both ends,” Kuzma said when asked about his defense.
