Bucks’ Kyle Kuzma savagely shades Jaylen Brown while shooting FTs

Kyle Kuzma decided to throw some shade at Jaylen Brown during the Milwaukee Bucks’ matchup against the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.

Kuzma is going through the ninth season of his career, his second with the Bucks. He has been in and out of the starting lineup but has garnered a bigger role with Giannis Antetokounmpo out due to a calf strain injury.

They were due for a big matchup against the Celtics, meaning he would have assignments against the leading scorer Brown. There was an instance during the game where Kuzma was preparing to take free throws. Before taking one, he looked at Brown and took a verbal jab at him in reference to his live streaming.

“This is not a stream,” Kuzma said to Brown.
