Kyle Kuzma Bashes Lebron James’ Former Teammate for Harsh Criticism:”They Have to Make Money Somehow”

Kyle Kuzma of the Washington Wizards has come out all guns blazing on Twitter. Responding to harsh criticisms by a former teammate of LeBron James, he came out in support of Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics.

Kendrick Perkins played with LeBron James for the Cleveland Cavaliers and his recent tweet about a brilliant performance by Jaylen Brown caused controversy. His initial tweet got a lot of hate from fans for looking down upon Tatum.

The tweet by Perkins triggered a response from Jayson Tatum himself. Kyle Kuzma also decided to join the action and he gave a witty reply to the tweet by Perkins.

Kyle Kuzma comes out in support of Jayson Tatum

 Kuzma responded harshly to criticisms by Perkins as he accused the analysts of doing all these for money. His words for Perkins were, “They have to make money somehow.”

Jayson Tatum initially responded to Kendrick Perkins criticism by saying that uplifting a player doesn’t require bringing another down. “Normalizing uplifting one man without bringing another one down… JB played great it’s alright to leave it at that,” were his words.

Fans also came in support of Jayson alongside fellow NBA star Kyle Kuzma.

Perkins was not one to back down. During the “Celtics Postgame Live” on NBC Sports, he responded. Perkins said,”I dont give a damn.”

Jayson Tatum’s mother responds

If the feud wasn’t already heated enough, Jayson Tatum’s mother decided to come out in support of her son. Brandy Cole, Jayson’s mother responded, “Under normal circumstances, I would GO IN and address how toxic and negative someone is regarding my son. It’s funny the games they comment on and the ones they refrain from. But then I googled this person’s career stats. This is a joke right? Carry on.”

Tatum against the New York Knicks

Jayson mustered 19 points for the night against the New York Knicks and could only get an assist and shot 40% from the field.

Despite having an off day, Jayson Tatum in no way deserves to be criticised so harshly. He has on top his game for his team this season. He averages 25.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game this season.

The Boston Celtics are currently on the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference table and face an uphill battle to ensure a playoff spot.
