Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma seemed to take a shot at the Los Angeles Lakers on social media early Friday morning. Kuzma, 28, spent his first four NBA seasons with the Lakers, averaging 15.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 276 games with the franchise. L.A. signed LeBron James in free agency prior to Kuzma's second season, and while Kuzma was highly productive as a starter alongside James, averaging 18.7 points per game that year, he was primarily relegated to a bench role during the second half of his Lakers tenure.
Nikola Jokic moved LeBron James out of the way as they battled for a rebound, grabbed the ball, got fouled and scored off the putback. James has done his part. The Nuggets have just been better. There's a quadrupleheader of playoff games in the NBA on Saturday — Cleveland at Orlando, Oklahoma City at New Orleans, Boston at Miami and then the first possible elimination game of this opening round when Denver takes a 3-0 series lead into L.A. to try and sweep the Lakers for a second straight season.
There are no shortage of various arguments when it comes to the greatest of all-time (GOAT) conversation in the NBA. Dwight Howard recently shared his thoughts on the NBA GOAT debate, via Howard's X (formerly Twitter) account. “MJ is the GOAT,” Howard said in a video that was shared on Thursday.
