Kyle Kuzama has heard the comments. what is he wearing Why would a dude of that size drop that? Did he look in the mirror before walking out the door?
The Internet erupted with comments about Kuzma when Flint, Michigan native Raf Simmons, the 6-foot-9 Washington Wizards power forward, wore a pink sweater, leaving no visible arm or hand under the flamboyant outfit.
Since then, Kuzma’s clothing choices, especially when he walks in the dugout during the pregame, have gotten as much attention as his in-game performance, and he has something to say about it.

“I have no regrets,” Kuzma told BroBible. I know a lot of people make a big deal out of it and I’m like, ‘Hey, what are you wearing today?’ I am wearing clothes and clothes that are in my closet.
Kuzma is well aware of the backlash for some of his fashion choices, but he has never succumbed to the temptation to stop his fashion flow based on negative comments from the Twitter streets.
“No, I only do what I do because there’s always someone talking about you,” Kuzma continued.

Kuzma grew up in Michigan but attended high school in Philadelphia and attended Utah Ute for college. Except for Philly, these are not places known for their fashion sense. However, after Kuzma was drafted into the NBA, he began to explore his sense of style.
Kuzma was selected with the 27th overall pick by the Brooklyn Nets in the 2017 NBA Draft. However, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers along with Brock Lopez on draft day in exchange for D’Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov.
The Wizards beat the Cavaliers 97-94 to improve to 8-3.

“I was always conscious of looking good in college,” Kuzma continued. “Obviously I didn’t have the same amount of money, but I always looked pretty and stylish. I think it’s a big deal that it’s set and finished in Los Angeles. It’s a place where there’s a lot going on in fashion.
“Meeting people in LA and getting into that industry just really blew me away. It’s not just about dressing up. There are many things that go into it. I don’t just dress for the cave to go into a game.”
Many people feel that Kuzman’s style can be attributed to the most unusual clothes he has ever worn. But Kuzma says that there are levels of dripping, and even he does not know what will come out, but not everything is above.

“I’m a very spontaneous person, so I always feel like I’m fixing it. I’m not someone who says ‘this is me and this will always be me’. I’m growing up. Everyone improves in life. The same is true with fashion.
“It was kind all over the place. To me, it’s not like wine where you only drink from Napa stuff, you know what I mean? Some days I feel like wearing street clothes. Some days I feel like wearing a tux. Some days it could be a suit, an umbrella, some nice pants or whatever.”
Kyle Kuzma and his fashion palette are still evolving, and as long as people keep watching, they’ll be amazed at what’s to come.
