Soul stone: Kyle Kuzma

Out of everyone on the Los Angeles Lakers, the player that made the most sense to be the soul stone for the team, assuming they are the heart and soul of the Lakers, was Kyle Kuzma, as he literally is the heart and soul of the team.

Kuzma is not the best player on the Lakers, as that honor obviously goes to LeBron James, and he arguably does not have as high of a ceiling as Brandon Ingram nor Lonzo Ball. However, Kuzma burst into the league as one of the best late-round draft picks and has been the one bright spot for the Lakers over the last two years.

And just based on what we can see in the public, Kuzma is the glue that helps hold this team together, which is so crazy to think considering that he only has two seasons worth of experience under his belt.

He has a social media presence and has a distinct sense of humor that has led to some roast battles between him and his teammates, particularly Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart.

However, when he needs to turn it on he does and the jokes turn into serious competitiveness and Kuzma is one of the best young offensive forwards in the league.

Kuzma is so lovable; he appears to be a great teammate and he is a great ambassador of the game. He always knows the right thing to say to the media and the way to carry himself. For that reason, he sits on Thanos’ pinkie as the soul stone.
