Remember that awful video of Kyle Kuzma, dressed like a pimp, roasting teammate Lonzo Ball for the "Player Haters Ball?" Well, Zo responded by channeling Pusha T and treating Kuzma like Drake on a new diss record called 'Kylie Kuzma.'
I'm kidding about comparing the young (possible future teammates of LeBron on the) Lakers to the popular rappers but this is the best basketball player-to-player diss since Shaq asked Kobe "Tell me how my ass taste?" a decade ago (this month is actually the 10-year anniversary of the infamous freestyle). The big difference is Zo and Kuzma are friends and Shaq and Kobe actually hated each other more than most people know (I have stories from former teammates I wish I could share).
It didn't take long for Kuzma to respond. Less than an hour after the release, Kuzma left this comment on Zo's IG post: "No Pusha T. No comeback. I'm whoopin' yo ass Wednesday."

LYRICS

Who are you without ZO2?
Just another dude with a bunch of tattoos
You ain't got no shoe Nike wins, Kuz lose
Claiming that I can't shoot, but all these words is hitting you.
Boy you talking crazy, why you try to play me?
You ain't on my level, you ain't famous as my baby
I'm working out daily, but I ain't posting it
And I would never stop a workout just to post a pic
They let 'em gas you up, thinking that you can't be touched
Coming from the outskirts of Flint, boy you ain't tough
Big Baller Brand getting bread, little Kuz is getting crumbs
We thumbing through that money, look at y'all, y'all is playing with your thumbs
Don't know who your daddy is, well your ass is getting sonned
We both taking shots, the only difference is you ain't hitting none
Usually do this s— for fun, but trust me boy I'm not the one
If you the bullet, I'm the gun, If you the pot, I'm cooking some
You want smoke, you can get it, dressing for attention
Trying to be Russell Westbrook, you just honorable mention
I killed you with a sentence, to me you just a peasant
Triple Bs is independent, Kuz (???), can't reinvent it
Cause you ain't got the people, and you ain't got the sources
Put all your money in a Porsche, I dropped a check on horses
You better join the forces, with them main enforcers
Triple Bs is for the culture, your squad is a bunch of vultures
I'mma stop, you losing focus, reason why you dropped your courses
Need some more endorsements, one fleece, you think we didn't notice?
ZO AND KUZMA ROASTING EACH OTHER
If you follow Kuzma, Zo, his brothers, and other Laker teammates on social media, then you know they are always roasting each other. Below are some of the best and funniest moments between them and that awful Kuzma roast I mentioned.
