"He thought it was impressive?" - NBA fans react to Kyle Kuzma 'retiring' quirky tunnel fits to impress people

NBA fans reacted to Kyle Kuzma calling it quits on tunnel fits as he enters the 2024-25 season. According to the Legion Hoops, the Washington Wizards player told Vogue Magazine that he was retiring from tunnel fits.

A post on X also suggested that Kuzma told Bleacher Report that buying and wearing clothes just to impress other people or stand out among the crowd was "ludicrous."

However, the comments from the Wizards player were not received in full faith by NBA fans.

"He thought it was impressive?," one fan wrote.

One fan was not ready to believe it and made an unexpected comparison:

"This is like Mia Khalifa saying she's celibate," the fan wrote.

More fans wrote that Kuzma 'had not impressed them anyway':

"Literally none of us were impressed by his fits or his game the last couple of years," one fan wrote.

"Dw Kyle you've never impressed me anyway," a fan wrote.

"You not “impressing” people with that sh*t trust me 😭🙏🏽," another fan wrote.

Kuzma's girlfriend Winnie Harlow is a known name in the fashion industry and a few people wondered if they had broken up.

"He break it off with Winnie? Lol," the fan wrote.

Other fans appeared hopeful that this would help Kyle Kuzma's game:

"Maybe he’ll play better now," a fan wrote.

"Kyle Kuzma is now officially ready to take the next step in his career now," another fan wrote.

Kyle Kuzma reveals his reasons for "taking a backseat" from tunnel fits

Kyle Kuzma has now played eight years in the NBA. The Washington Wizards star is 29 years old and will soon enter in his 30s. Kuzma told Leah Faye Cooper of Vogue that he was not going to be part of the tunnel fit community anymore and explained why:

"I don't want to be a part of that type of community where you have to put on a fit," Kuzma said. "I'm really taking a backseat to all of that."

"I can speak from experience that when you're a younger player, you don't want to wear the same thing twice. A lot of times we get played into thinking, oh, we gotta switch it up, we gotta buy something new. And now we're just buying clothes to impress people or to stand out. It's ludicrous."

With the Wizards losing 135-116 to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, they start the new NBA season 0-2. Fans will likely prefer to see fashion take a backseat in general and the team get in the win column in their next game against Atlanta.
