- Hey GQ, it's Kyle Kuzma here,
and today I'm going undercover on the Internet.
And it's Actually Me.
[typing]
First up, my favorite, Instagram.
What was happening there?
This looks like I'm like crazy,
but, you know, me and Bron were doing our handshake,
and everyone on the team has handshakes,
and I had a good game.
Bron had a good game.
You know, just felt the need to, you know,
dap each other up.
Posted.
Oh, oh, I can slide this up.
Bro, what's it like in Space Jam?
I'm not in the movie,
but I think you're talking
about how my swag is out of this world maybe.
Thank you?
You know, it's pretty galactic.
Boom.
So this next one, drop the skin care routine king.
I don't need a moisturizer.
I don't need toner, you know, whatever you guys kind of use.
Bar of soap, water, maybe if your face gets a little crusty,
you might put a little Palmers on, cocoa butter,
but wash your hands, simple.
hoopsorchestra, yo @kuz,
who's your favorite character in Naruto?
Him, I drew him.
He's dope, young sensei, young Hokage, king of his village.
He's a bad ass, so I'm a go with him.
amayastrange wants to know what's your favorite song?
My favorite song right now is "Too Comfortable" by Future
because a lot of people be getting comfortable
in these streets.
Don't get comfortable.
Next, oh same photo.
Where do I get this mask?
You get it on my website, kylekuzma.com,
and you can get yourself a Kuzmania mask to wear
during these hard times.

berniesara wants to know if my dog is a Swiss Shepherd.
No, Snow is a Husky, all Husky, beautiful white dog.
You know, a lot of people say she looks like Bolt
or some dog from "Game of Thrones."
I don't know the name, but no, she's a Husky.
Moving on to the YouTube.
Abraham Romero, where can I get that hoodie?
I made this hoodie.
It was a one on one.
You know, it was just something
that I was just messing around with.
It's not for sale, but if you like it,
that means other people like it,
so maybe I should put it on for sale.
I'll let you know.
Boom.
Anybody know what kinda watch he got on?
Yeah, so this watch is called a Patek Philippe World Timer.
It's like an old hand watch.
Not too many young people have it.
You know, everyone kinda wants to bust down jewelry.
I'm into investment watches.
Yeah.
Big boy watch.
We're moving on to Wikipedia.
Kuzma sent tapes of his shooting at the YMCA
to preparatory schools.
Vin Sparacio, head coach at Rise Academy in Philadelphia,
saw a 6'6" 175 pound, raw player who had a great feel
for the game, and immediately brought him in.
That's true.
That's really, really true.
You know, I was growing up,
and I didn't really have that many offers.
You know, I kinda had to, you know, make something wiggle,
make something shake,
so you know, I was sending out random shooting clips,
whatever, you know, just trying to get seen.
My boy, Vin, he looked out.
Kuzma enrolled at the University of Utah in 2013.
He redshirted his freshman year due to the fact
that he signed late.
That is true.
I redshirted.
Pretty much means you can't play, can't practice
your first year in college.
My grades, they weren't really up to par going into college,
and you know, I signed late.
Big woop over here now.
Kuzma graduated from Utah with a degree in sociology.
Ha, you didn't know I was smart, huh?
Yeah, I did graduate.
I didn't wanna go back to school.
You know, I had a redshirt year.
And I felt I didn't wanna go back to school
because I was getting a degree,
so why would I go back to school?
The next one says,
"Karri Kuzma and Smith put a toy basketball rim
in the living room for Kyle when he was only two years old,
thus igniting his passion for basketball."
Ding, ding, ding.
Correct.
From a young age, I always played basketball,
and I always remember from, you know, the age of two,
you know, having a basketball hoop in my living room.
We would clear out the, everything in the living room,
and we actually put tape on the ground
as if it was a free throw line on a Fisher Price rim,
so I would feel like I was in the game when I was young.
I had a cool household, nice childhood.

Man, this is a cool scroll.
I can use my thumb on the screen?
This is amazing.
Jeniece, is that Jeniece or Jeniece?
Okay sorry, butchered your name.
My dad was watching Laker re-runs,
and my mom asked, "Why is there a model playing?
Is he really a Laker?"
And she was talking about Kuzma.
I mean it's kind of flattering.
I mean, you know, kind of called me cute so.
Thank you.
Could be a model, but I like basketball a little bit more.

What is your opinion on Kyle Kuzma,
right now and looking ahead in his career?
I think he's a outstanding young man.
He is very well centered, great family man,
personal sense of style, unbelievable basketball player,
and on top of everything, he's a dog lover.
He's pretty darn humble.
Great guy, great guy.
And I guess, looking ahead of his career,
you'll see a lot more of that.
That's it.
Signing off the Internet.
