Out of the entire Los Angeles Lakers roster, Kyle Kuzma is probably the player who has received the most criticism for his performances during the NBA playoffs. This season brought big expectations for Kuz, who struggled to live up to them, earning more bad comments than good. Things haven’t changed in the bubble, as Kuzma keeps struggling to find his best version, with some people saying he’s a liability for his team.
Kuzma has been so criticized this postseason that now fans don’t believe he should get a ring if the Lakers complete the job and beat the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. The Lakers have looked very comfortable against Miami but Kuz hasn’t been feeling himself, scoring 3 and 11 points, respectively, in the first two games of the series.
Fans created a petition to show their desire not to see Kuzma getting a ring if the Lakers win it all. Yikes.

As of writing, the petition has reached over 2500 signs and it looks they’ll grow in the next hours and days. NBA Twitter has no mercy.

Kyle Kuzma thought he was Magic Johnson. He is definitely getting traded after this goofy pass for a bag of chips 😂 Lebron's face says it all #NBAFinals pic.twitter.com/OkKUYDv3x0

Kuz was expected to be the third-string in the Lakers and seeing how poorly he’s played, people will call him out for not doing his job. He has stated that he’s waiting for his time to shine, but fans aren’t as optimistic as him.
