The foursome is considered as a formidable franchise force in the NBA as their respective teams have won the last four NBA championships. So, siding with a championship-winning team is one thing, but devaluing others is something else. But this is where The King‘s playmate made a foul.

To that, Kuzma kept it real and replied with just the ?100? emoji. However, the fact that the former NBA champion did not say anything to justify the other teams was a bit daunting.

The 2020 Los Angeles Lakers were arguably one of the best teams put together in the recent history of the franchise. However, fans have often tried to discredit the Lakers? recent feat for some reason or the other.

Then come the Milwaukee Bucks that were led by a historic run by none other than Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak led the team to its second NBA championship after a long wait of 50 years.

That was followed by the Golden State Warriors who won the 2022 NBA championship. The world saw Stephen Curry literally put the team on his back to win it all after being the eighth seed in the West.

And finally, the Denver Nuggets brought home their first-ever championship in franchise history with ease.
