Kyle Kuzma savagely shades Jaylen Brown while shooting the FT

Kyle Kuzma decided to throw some shade on Jailen Brown during Milwaukee The Bucks match against the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.

Kuzma is going through his ninth career season, his second with the Bucks. He has been in and out of the starting lineup, but has been given a bigger role with Giannis Antetokounmpo due to a strained calf injury.

They were due for a big game against the Celtics, which means they will have assignments against the leading scorer Brown. There was a case in the game when Kuzma was about to make free throws. Before taking one, he looked at Brown and he verbally hit him in connection with its live broadcast.

“This isn’t a creek,” Kuzma told Brown.

Kuzma to Jaylen Brown: “This ain’t no creek. 💀.”
