Kyle Kuzma gets a flashback on his Philippines tour

An year after the original 'KuzManila' tour, Kyle Kuzma has once again set foot on Filipino soil. The Bucks forward interacted with the locals and the fans during his second visit and noticed some struggles, which gave him a flashback of his own struggles.

During a meet-and-greet event hosted by All-Star magazine at Okada Manila, the Bucks forward spoke his mind on the water troubles the locals face.

"Coming from America, we always hear us saying, ‘Ah, it’s terrible here, whatever'," Kuzma said. "Earlier, a lady shared they just got running water, into their homes."

"Coming from Flint, Michigan where we haven’t had water for like 10 years. And we had running water, but our water had like lead in it and all these things we’re not supposed to be drinking," he continued.

Kyle Kuzma was born in Flint, Michigan, and lived through a severe scarcity of drinking water in the past.
