A former Lakers champ misses the team and isn't afraid of showing it while his team is at the bottom

The Los Angeles Lakers played and lost against the Boston Celtics on Christmas day, a day when some of the most popular and impressive NBA teams can have a unique match in which not every player can get the opportunity to participate.

Kyle Kuzma reflected on some warm Christmas memories when the former Los Angeles Lakers player took to social media to say how much fun he used to have taking part in the NBA’s famed holiday schedule.

"Miss playing on Christmas!!!!! So much fun... watching and gifts today let's gooooo," wrote Kuzma on his X account. Kyle is not the first time that write about his time with the Purple and gold as he has expressed on several occasions his love for the franchise and organization.

Kuzma is currently in the midst of his third season with the Washington Wizards, who were not scheduled to play this Christmas Day nor in the previous two seasons. The 28-year-old played his first four NBA seasons with the Lakers and was in action on the marquee holiday in each of those. There's no doubt Kyle really misses LA and would love to return at some point in his career.
