Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma tried to channel his inner Magic Johnson in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat by making a crafty pass.

Unfortunately, Kuzma failed miserably and will likely find himself on Shaqtin' a Fool instead of the game's highlight reel.

Kyle Kuzma should probably just stick to scoring the ball. It's the thing he does best for the Lakers.

During the summer of 2019, Kuzma was the lone youngster on the Lakers who survived the Anthony Davis trade with the New Orleans Pelicans. Los Angeles traded Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart to the Pelicans for Davis, the guy Magic Johnson tried to get at the 2019 trade deadline when he was running the Lakers.

Kuzma is a talented scorer, but he needs to work on his passing skills moving forward, that's for certain.
