Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma made a fashion statement with his pregame outfit, showing up to the arena with an outrageously large pink sweater that looked more like a Snuggie blanket.
There was a time when big, baggy and loose clothes were in. But in recent years, pro athletes have trended toward a tighter fit on and off the court. Kuzma forged his own path Monday night, arriving to the Wizards game against the Charlotte Hornets with a sweater that appeared about two-feet too long.
Kuzma is 6-foot-9 with a slim stature and a 7-foot wingspan! Wearing a shirt with sleeves that are too long likely isn’t a problem he’s had to deal with much. Who was this sweater designed for? Tacko Fall has an incredible 8-foot-2 wingspan, but even he is unlikely to fit properly in Kuzma’s sweater.
The Raf Simons oversized-sleeve jumper retails for $1,659, but don’t expect Kuzma’s NBA colleagues to run out and purchase one of their own. NBA Twitter, fans and players joined forces to collectively roast
“Ain’t no f*cking way you wore that!!!” Kuzma’s former teammate LeBron James wrote on Instagram along with a bunch of laughing emojis. “I’m not pressing the like button cause this is outrageous Kuz!”
“Cmon bro s**t getting outta hand now,” added DeMarcus Cousins, while JR Smith mocked Kuzma with a “Man hellll nawwwwwww.”
