Kyle Kuzma is ready for his fourth season in Washington, D.C., as Wizards players begin their preseason this Sunday. Kuzma also bragged about knowing his way around the capitol without the help of GPS. However, it led to NBA fans mocking him online.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Kuzma confidently told his followers that he no longer needed a GPS to get around Washington, D.C. He arrived at the capital before the 2021-22 NBA season after being acquired by the Wizards in the Russell Westbrook trade.
"Ok 3 years in dc I know my way around the city now with no gps confidently 😂," Kuzma tweeted.

NBA fans, as usual, were harsh on Kyle Kuzma on the platform. Some told him to help the Wizards make the playoffs rather than stay at the end of the standings. Washington finished last season with a record of 15-67, which is a franchise record.
"Now u need to find a way to take 'em to playoffs dummy," a fan wrote.
"Now can we find our way to the playoffs?" one fan asked.
"Careful, they might pull a Julius Randle on you," another claimed.
The Washington Wizards are not expected to be competitive this season, although Kyle Kuzma should easily put up numbers. Kuzma has also been linked to trades this offseason, so it would likely be the same scenario this coming campaign.
"Uh oh you on your way out now," one fan responded.
"And Kyle Kuzma has been traded to the Detroit Pistons," a fan opined.
"You need to demand a trade to go play for the Warriors bro," another commented.
Kuzma played the first four seasons of his career with the LA Lakers, winning a championship in 2020 inside the NBA bubble.
