The LA Lakers really are the Kim Kardashian of basketball teams. Everybody in the world has heard of them. They are super rich. They like to flaunt their stuff. And lately they are more flash than substance and a little stupid. The proof is the riff between Kuzma And Ball.

For the last five years the LA Lakers didn't even make the playoffs. They were probably tanking intentionally, like a lot of NBA teams do, when they don't know what to do with themselves. And it payed off. For the last three years, they got the number 2 pick in the NBA draft and that means they have three potential future superstars. And in the last draft they picked Ball and Kuzma. Lonzo Ball was a known college basketball player and a sure top pick. The LA Lakers picked him 2nd. Kyle Kuzma was an unknown player to the public. They picked him 27th overall.

And then a surprise, that is common in the NBA, happened. The lower pick was actually better than the top pick.

In the beginning of the season it looked like Ball and Kuzma were friends. But now it is obvious that there is no love between them. Where and when the riff started nobody really knows. Two occurrences are most prominent. First Kuzma made a video with the Bleacher Report site, where he makes fun of Ball.

It is pretty funny if you ask me. But it surely wasn't funny to Lonzo. So he used his free time at the time of NBA playoffs to make a diss track and a video.

Now this is not so much comedy as it is insult. Especially if you take a look at the lyrics that state: ''Big Baller Brand getting bread, lil Kuz is getting crumbs'', ''We’re thumbing through that money, look at you, ya’ll playing with your thumbs'' and ''Don’t know who your daddy is, boy your ass is getting sonned''.

So there is a mess at the Lakers. Reality TV stuff. Kim Kardashian unprofessional.

And this is happening at the time of the most interesting trade season of the NBA. LeBron will probably opt out of his agreement and become a free agent. Not to mention Paul George and Kawhi Leonard rumors. Lakers have the money and the fame but they also act as a reality star. 

And that can destroy their chances with getting LeBron. LeBron doesn't like drama and unknown or unstable players. Just ask Wiggins or Isaiah Thomas. 

So if the Lakers want to be the best team alongside the most famous, they need to stop acting like Kim Kardashian and start acting like someone with talent and brains. Maybe like Natalie Portman, she is hot and has graduated from Harvard. Beauty is dangerous, but intelligence is lethal.

Be lethal LA. And you can destroy the Warriors next year. I can't wait.
