There’s a lot you can say about Kyle Kuzma’s game, but one thing you can’t say is that he isn’t confident.
When he steps on the court he absolutely thinks he’s the best player out there no matter who else is on the court with him. It can be Bradley Beal or LeBron James. It doesn’t matter.
To take a page out of the book from the youths, Kyle Kuzma is HIM. In Kyle Kuzma’s mind, anyway. How else would he be able to pull off these pre-game outfits? You’ve got to love it, man.
Sometimes, that confidence manifests itself in some pretty hilarious ways. On Tuesday night against the Pistons, Kuzma had a solid game. He finished with 23 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, two blocks and a steal. Nothing too crazy, but all in all, a good game.
It just came with one hilarious lowlight when Kuzma thought he was Steph Curry.
He shot a corner 3-pointer by the Wizards’ bench and turned to his teammates before the shot could go in. But, as it turns out, the shot didn’t actually go in. It just clanked off the rim.

Hilarious.Wow. Yikes. Even Kuzma’s teammates couldn’t help but laugh at Kuzma in the moment. It was great.
What Kuz was trying to actually do was this.
3️⃣0️⃣ knew that one was good!

Curry knew that ball was good from the moment it left his hands. Kuzma, on the other hand? My man was just out there guessing.
It’s hilarious. It’s also perfect and just such a Kyle Kuzma thing to do. Never change, Kuz. Please. Never change.
