Kyle Kuzma made some friends from the Milwaukee Bucks fanbase long before he became part of the team.
The 29-year-old forward now reps the state of Wisconsin after he was traded by the Washington Wizards for the beloved Khris Middleton who spent 12 seasons with the team.
Also part of the deal is rookie AJ Johnson who goes to the Wizards and big man Patrick Baldwin Jr. who is now a Buck.
Kuzma is a personlity on X (formerly Twitter) and one his tweets was about his new Giannis Antetokounmpo. That tweet was in 2022 but it found its way back to the surface after getting signed by the Bucks.
“It’s annoying as hell guarding Giannis he’s going to run into your chest every F’n possession lol,” he wrote.
The old replies on this tweet back in 2022 were mostly about him getting urged to go to the gym.
There was one tweet though as if he spoke Kuzma-Bucks deal to existence.

Bucks fans are now more welcoming but they warned him that he should still prepare his chest on practice.
Kyle Kuzma’s “Bucs” message, real or not?
There is an X post spreading around claiming Kuzma addressed his new home team as “Bucs”.
The art card looks like it came from Kuzma’s own website KuzKontrol which is guarded by a pay wall.
“Bucs Nation, I’ll be back to address you all soon. Can’t wait to hit the court, tap in with the city, and bring you all behind the scenes every step of the way,” the post reads.
However, a simple scan of the website shows there’s no such post from the new Milwaukee player. No legit news outlet has picked this up.
The latest post from him is his “Thank you” message to Wizards where he described how he had fun and experienced growth with the franchise. He also talked about the NBA IS a business.
The only post he has so far related to Wisconsin is on his IG story where he posted a map of Milwaukee.
