More on this storyline
Who was the first NBA player that you ever met locally that did something for the community that inspired you? Kyle Kuzma: Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson; they used to do a lot of camps in the summertime when they used to come home from the NBA season and overseas and do things like this and would be engaged and be able to touch them. What were some of your earliest recollections of that Flintstones team back then? Kyle Kuzma: They’re just chrome in Michigan. Obviously being from Flint, being a Flintsone at Michigan State; you just followed them naturally just because of the heritage and what they did for the city and the state of Michigan. -via ScoopB.com / December 18, 2023
Who were some of your other influences? Kyle Kuzma: I used to be on YouTube and I’d be watching great players like the Larry Birds, the George Gervins and definitely Michael Jordan. -via ScoopB.com / December 18, 2023
Yesterday, the Kyle Kuzma Family Foundation and Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma hosted the Golden Ticket Family Holiday Event, the final stop of the multi-city Holiday Initiative. The foundation’s multi-city essential goods distribution initiative began in Flint, Michigan earlier this month, with direct to home deliveries by trucks to families including home goods, toys, 250 cases of PATHWATER, as well as a Golden Ticket shopping spree event for 15 single mothers. -via TheSource / December 17, 2023
