The Los Angeles Lakers' rising star in Kyle Kuzma was trying to be his old usual self, roasting fellow NBA players like Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum on social media. But Kuzma's attempt at dissing him was halted by his newest teammate — none other than LeBron James.
McCollum was live tweeting as the game between the Cleveland Browns and the New Orleans Saints went on. McCollum, who hails from Ohio, was greatly affected when Zane Gonzalez missed an extra point which left the game knotted. McCollum tweeted:
Bruh are you serious

It was followed by a series of tweets, expressing how disappointed McCollum was in the outcome of the game.
Damn . Another week of heartache. We getting better man . Good shit fellas. It takes a team to win these type of games. We professing and tightening up

Kuzma was apparently lurking somewhere, saw the tweet and decided to kick a man while he's already down on the ground.

Initially, it looked like a social media duel between the two was about to go down. But Kuzma's new teammate, none other than James himself, shut him down.
Chill @kylekuzma! We don’t need your comments right now. 🤦🏾♂️😤

In a twist of events, it was Kuzma who was on the receiving end of some good old roasting and toasting. McCollum told Kuzma to just log out of his social media account after the comment by James.
Mannnn . This one hurts more than the tie. Still a long season. Buddy better log out of all social media after this one. His mentions are toast https://t.co/ptR2o5veMZ

Kuzma learned his lesson the hard way. He should be wary that he's now teammates with James, and dissing the Browns or any other sports team hailing from Ohio is a noob move.
