Washington Wizards veteran Kyle Kuzma was under fire on Wednesday after he reacted to the 2024 presidential election. He showed his support for Donald Trump with a three-emoji message on X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate this win and seemingly predict where America is headed after Tuesday's results.
"🇺🇸👍🏽🆙," Kuzma aptioned the post.
The message wasn't met with good eyes by plenty of fans. One accused Kuzma and his girlfriend, Winnie Harlow, of being terrible people.

"You and Winnie Harlow terrible people. I hope the wizards have the worst losing streak!" one fan wrote.
Others brought an old message, telling the former NBA champion to shut up and dribble.
"Shut up & dribble amber rose. Getting outplayed by 3 rookies in the worst draft class since 2000," one fan said.
"Shut up and dribble poser," another fan said.
"Shutup & Dribble buddy," another fan wrote.
Others went further and showed their desire to see Kuzma out of the Wizards and even the league.
"You are horrible at basketball and I pray you never touch the floor for my franchise again you pathetic piece of s**t," one fan wrote.
"Not for you in a year when u out the league but didn’t play long enough to qualify for pension cuz ur a**," another upset fan said.
Tensions were high in Kyle Kuzma's comment section, but he didn't reply to any of the messages.
The veteran forward is in his third year with the Wizards and seemingly enjoying his time with the team. Their 2024-25 NBA season is off to an underwhelming 2-4 start, but Kuzma has tried to lead the young team to compete night in and night out.
