Magic Johnson may have told the young Lakers to tone it down on social media and relax with the public roasting, but it doesn't look like they're stopping anytime soon.
Brandon Ingram is the latest victim. Kyle Kuzma called out Ingram on Twitter to congratulate him on his “role” in the upcoming movie Slender Man.

Obviously, Kuz is clowning Ingram for his long and slender frame with the comparison to the fictional character Slender Man. If you don't know much about the movie or the character, let's just say that it's not exactly a flattering comparison.
The 6-foot-9, 190-pound Ingram is sure to bulk up as he gets older. The North Carolina native is still only 20-years-old. He still has time to grow into his body and ditch the slender look that he's sporting now.
Kuz got the better of Ingram here, but no doubt BI has something retaliatory up his sleeve. Or maybe the two of them will call a truce and set their sights on Lonzo Ball or Josh Hart. The only certainty is that this won't be the last of the public roasting.
One player the young Lakers have avoided roasting thus far is LeBron James. Perhaps it's too early in James' tenure for them to feel too comfortable talking about his hairline or his age.
For 19 and 20-year-olds, public roasting is a way of life. It's something they've grown up with and they don't tend to take things too seriously. We'll see if they take the leap to roast LeBron or any of the other Laker free agent signings anytime soon.
