Mini bio
How it started.
Kuzma grew up in Flint, Michigan. He sent footage of himself shooting at the YMCA to prep schools, which led him to Rise Academy in Philadelphia. He later enrolled at Utah, graduated in sociology and earned first-team All-Pac-12 recognition in 2017.
Finding his place.
Brooklyn selected him 27th overall in the 2017 NBA draft and traded his rights to the Lakers. He made an early impression as Summer League championship game MVP. His career then took him to Washington and, in February 2025, Milwaukee.
The championship years.
He earned NBA All-Rookie First Team recognition in 2018 and won a championship with the Lakers in 2020. In that title run, he appeared in all 21 playoff games.
Beyond basketball.
His Childhood Dreams brand has collaborated with PUMA on shoes and clothing. He also explores personal style through fashion interviews. In 2026, he began hosting Read the Room, interviewing guests about business, money and investing.
