The Boston Celtics haven’t been able to dominate without Jayson Tatum, but they remain a good side. A loss against the Milwaukee Bucks in their recent game doesn’t change that. But it did lead to a Kyle Kuzma taking a hilarious shot at Jaylen Brown.
Brown has been live-streaming, and he hasn’t been afraid to give some hot takes. He recently spoke about how stars have to ‘sell their soul’ and flop to win the NBA MVP award. So it’s quite fitting that Kuzma let him hear it while taking a free throw during their Thursday night clash.

Early in the game, Kuzma was at the line with the score tied at 5-5. And even though he missed a free throw, the referees called the Celtics for a lane violation. There was some jawing back and forth, during which time the Bucks man dropped a gem.
“This is not a stream,” Kuzma could be heard saying to Brown. It’s interesting to know that players do keep track of things like this. As far as Brown goes, he’s unlikely to care too much; the man already has a ring.

As current players continue to amplify their voices using different social media platforms, it’s likely to lead to more verbal conflicts in the league. Both the world and the game have changed significantly in the last few decades. It’s tough to deny that it wasn’t a hilarious comment from Kuz, though.
