Why did Kyle Kuzma tweet at halftime of the Lakers game' vs. Bulls?
Here's a weird thing that happened at 11:48 p.m. PT: Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma tweeted.
Why is that noteworthy? Because Kuzma was in the middle of playing a game against the Chicago Bulls.
We know it was halftime because the Lakers sent a tweet at 11:35 p.m., about 10 minutes before.
But Kuzma's tweet is simply the handle of Ball is Life, which posts all things hoops content. On Tuesday night, the account retweeted a couple of Kuzma-related videos/GIFs.
So why would Kuzma, say, secretly grab his phone in the locker room just to fire off a tweet at the account, probably knowing that it could earn him a fine for using social media during a game?
One theory: Someone else with access to the account accidentally pushed "send" on a draft. Or it was a tweet scheduled to run at that time, although that seems more improbable.
Another: He sat on his phone in his locker and butt-tweeted. Maybe the last thing he had open was the Ball Is Life's feed.
Kuzma finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds in the Lakers' much-needed win over the Bulls. Los Angeles is only 4-7 since LeBron James' Christmas Day injury.
The only certainty is we've come a long way (nearly 10 years, to be exact) on Twitter since Charlie Villanueva's famous halftime tweet blew up and led to an NBA social media policy:
