Kyle Kuzma and LeBron James were teammates with the Los Angeles Lakers and won a championship together. Kuzma was then sent to the Washington Wizards as part of the deal that brought Russell Westbrook to Los Angeles. The move helped Kuzma individually and hampered the Lakers season quite a bit, but nonetheless, both Kuzma and James find their seasons over after the Wizards and the Lakers failed to qualify for the postseason.
So far, in the play-in games and the first round of playoff games, Kuzma and LeBron have taken to Twitter at various points to comment on what’s happening, including the way the Timberwolves celebrated after winning their play-in game. Their heightened activity has not gone unnoticed, with a fan suggesting that the two could have a show together like Peyton Manning and Eli Manning have during the NFL season.
The tweet earned a response from both Kuzma and James, with Kuzma suggesting that they’re just giving their two cents on the games, while LeBron replied saying that a show like that would actually be quite great.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I mean that show would be insane though!

Kyle Kuzma: “Just fans of the sport that is all.”
LeBron James: “I mean that show would be insane though!”
Fans got excited by LeBron’s reply, with many saying James needs to get on TV and talk about the postseason since, as Charles Barkley also suggested, he doesn’t have much else going on right now.
“Suit up Bron. We need you on TNT.”
“Could’ve had that show on spectrum but you decided to trade bro.”
“This season got Bron spinning the block on EVERYBODY.”
“Bron just knows!!!!”
“Just make the call and make it happen.”
“I’d watch a show like that twice a day.”
“Lebron speaking it into existence…”
“Bron trynna get the bag lmao.”
“I’d watch for sure!”
“Imagine us three doing a playoff show like this. Smh. Sh*t would be bananas. Line it up Bron.”
“Lol damn I kno you miss Kuzma and Caruso.”
Such a show happening would be a bit more than unlikely, but it wouldn’t be totally surprising to see LeBron James getting on an episode of a more established TV show to talk hoops. Podcasts are also fairly likely, and with LeBron not having much basketball to play till the start of next season, there could be a lot of content for NBA fans to spend their time watching.
