The Washington Wizards have had the worst start to the 2024-25 NBA season and find themselves in a disappointing position in the regular season. After their recent 123-130 loss to the Phoenix Suns, the Wizards are currently on an eight-game losing streak. While the team struggles in the league, star player Kyle Kuzma has come into the spotlight due to his recent off-court activities.
Kuzma recently sparked a debate among basketball fans with his controversial Instagram story. In his story, he wrote, “Have they ever once thought, ‘Damn… maybe I’m a*s at picking parlays?'” This comment stirred up discussions among enthusiasts, leading to some trolling directed at Kuzma. When Legion Hoops shared a screenshot of his story on X (formerly Twitter), fans began criticizing him in the comments section.

He actively shares his experience and knowledge with them to help them develop their skills and handle the challenges of professional basketball. In a recent interview, Wizards rookie Bub Carrington discussed some valuable advice he received from Kuzma.
