LOS ANGELES — Standing side by side at the same station for shootaround drills on the morning after Thanksgiving were Los Angeles Lakers teammates, Kyle Kuzma and LeBron James.
Friendly trash talk and competition was certainly on display at the UCLA Health Training Center, as 23-year-old Kuzma — a former University of Utah star — continues to soak in as much knowledge as possible from the 33-year-old James, a three-time NBA champion.
On Friday night, Kuzma posted nine points and six rebounds in a 90-83 win versus the Utah Jazz, while James contributed 22 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.
