It appears that Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard Lonzo Ball got around to seeing the highly-anticipated “Avengers: Infinity War” superhero film from Marvel Studios, which was released worldwide over the past weekend.
After Ball saw the film, he went on Twitter to say that he possibly had a change of heart over who was now his favorite superhero.
“Just seen Avengers and Hulk used to be my favorite superhero but I think Thor is now,” Ball said early Tuesday morning.

Seems pretty innocent, right? Don't tell that to two of his fellow rookies in Lakers teammate Kyle Kuzma and Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, though.
On Tuesday morning, Mitchell responded to Ball's tweet by correcting his grammar and roasting him over only attending UCLA for one year.
Just saw* @kylekuzma I know he went to school for 1 year but man teach him something 😂😂😂 @ZO2_ https://t.co/KpSZ2oWEUC

Mitchell tagged the 22-year-old Kuzma, who had a funny response of his own by saying that since it is the Lakers' offseason, he has less of an influence on Ball's behavior.
See the thing is @spidadmitchell… during the season I have @ZO2_ windows on child lock but since I’m not around him he’s fell off of my good guidance. https://t.co/bCyhjMQ8RV

This sort of joking around amongst rookies is nothing new, especially when it comes to Ball and Kuzma. These two have roasted each other social media all season long, including the likes of Lakers shooting guard Josh Hart and rising star forward Brandon Ingram.
By the way, it should be “fallen off” instead of “fell off” in that tweet. Come on, Kuz! He simply set himself up for that one.
