Kyle Kuzma tasted the wrath of a throwback Paul George move on Tuesday, when the Milwaukee Bucks squared off against the Philadelphia 76ers in the City of Brotherly Love.
In the third quarter of the contest, George nearly broke Kuzma’s ankles with a sick step-back move. Kuzma lost his balance, giving PG3 enough time and space to launch a 3-pointer.
George did not disappoint Philadelphia fans, as he completed the play by making the shot.

Fans online had quite a time reacting to what George did to Kuzma.
“PG just sent Kuzma back to the G League with that one,” said a fan on X.
Another one said: “Kuz was out there dancin’”
From a commenter: “Professional shoulder shove into the snatch but ill allow it”
“Wow.. he looked like he was sliding on the patch ice on Broad Street 🤣🤣,” a social media user posted.
Via a different commenter: “Man that crossover was just nasty honestly.”
Said another: “Instead of appearing on the Jennifer Hudson show Kuz shoulda been working on his craft”
The Bucks also lost the contest, 139-122, with Kuzma putting up 17 points.
George, on the other hand, led all scorers with 32 points.

Milwaukee will get another chance to break its losing spell this Thursday night, when they visit the Washington Wizards.
The Bucks and the Wizards have already played each other three times this season. Milwaukee won the first meeting at home, 133-120, while the Wizards took the next two via a 129-126 victory in Milwaukee and a 114-113 triumph at home.
For what it’s worth, Kuzma averaged just 6.7 points on a 47.1 percent shooting from the floor in the previous three meetings with Washington.
