Kuzma is my new favorite player

Kyle Kuzma recently became my favorite player (by recent I mean as of 2:00PM today) not because of his skills on the court, but because of his genuine and kind personality in the real world.
During a recent flight I sat next to Kuzma for 3+ hours, I wasn’t aware it was him till after the flight because he did not take off his bandana, during the flight I actually assumed he played in the NBA because of his height. I even asked jokingly “what nba team you play for”.
Kuzma not only handled himself with humility and grace, but he also went out of his way to help other passengers with their luggage from the overheads.
It was clear that he didn’t do it for show or to gain attention, but simply because he is a good-hearted person. Again, he never took off his mask inside the plane, so l’m very sure no one even recognized him.
As a fan of basketball, I have always admired Kuzma’s game, but it was his selfless actions today off the court that truly won me over.
In a world where so many celebrities and athletes are consumed with their own image and fame, it was refreshing to see someone who cared about others and was willing to lend a helping hand.

Kuzma’s actions are a testament to the fact that being a great athlete isn’t just about having physical talent or skill, but also about having character and integrity. He has shown me (and hopefully others) that it’s possible to be successful and humble at the same time, and that kindness can go a long way in making a positive impact on others.

Today, Kyle Kuzma has become my favorite basketball player not because of his skills on the court, but because he’s showed me his true colors.
