SALT LAKE CITY — At Los Angeles’ Staples Center Sunday, Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield approached a fearless Kyle Kuzma on defense in the midst of the game.
“You gotta be guarding me because if he’s guarding me it’s barbecue chicken,” Kuzma told Hield.
Kuzma was telling Hield about his Kings teammate, Justin Jackson.
“Justin,” he declared. “I’m letting you know.”
The video has surfaced all over social media, raking in more than 730,000 views on ESPN’s Instagram account alone.
Although the Lakers (33-43) lost against Sacramento, and aren’t close to being in playoff contention as the regular season nears its end, Kuzma still isn’t taking any prisoners on the court.
