Jonathan Kuminga gets mad after a fan jokingly called him ‘Kum Bucket. Kuminga: “I will slap you.”
I appreciate that “jokingly” was specified in the title. Without it, some extremely literal minded people might think that the heckler literally thought that Kuminga was a bucket of semen
The one who posted this video on social media was the fan who yelled it.
He added an apology and mentioned he was joking.
How honest is he? I don’t know.
It’s only a “joke” when the reaction is negative 🙄
Please stop saying ‘literal’ on every sentence.
He literally did not say literal in his first sentence.
He literally didn’t, you’re correct
Uh oh, people will definitely stop using it now they know it makes him upset
Somewhere out there Russ is going: “Alright, Westbrick isn’t that bad I guess.”
😂🤣bruh
People use it already regardless, even if he ignored it or smiled back or did anything they’d use it keep using it more
Yeah, trashy people.
Your right. Don’t let the down votes tell you otherwise. Commenters here are nasty people
Downvoted for being right. I know damn well if the people that downvoted you ever left the house and had to deal with strangers calling them kum bucket they’d hate life
Can’t go 1⁄9 and still be Kum Buckets
More like bum buckets lmao
Oh Kum on.
he had a rough game
He having a rough career
He then played 18 minutes and had 2 points
Who raised these people that think it’s okay to insult people you don’t know?
The same inbreds that raised the children in this thread justifying such behaviour.
This is John Pork in UFC all over again.
Pro athletes need to learn not to take the bait. It’s just like bullying on the schoolyard. If you just “ok cool buddy” your way through shit they’ll leave you alone and find someone else to pick on. If you give them the reaction they’re looking for in this instance… this… you’re never gonna live it down
Or fans need to learn not to be fucking weird. Like why are we not criticizing the guy who is calling a stranger “semen bucket”
There will always, always be rabid and stupid sports fans who try to harass and bully players. We will never live in a perfect utopia where people don’t do weird shit like this.
Just ignore them. It’s the most simple solution. You give them fuel when you react like that. That’s what they want.
I’m not normalising this behaviour. This is just the sad reality of human nature. It’ll never change.
Because “there is always one” is not a reason to think differently about that guy. No need to normalize his behavior.
When one person starts a fight, they get kicked out.
The op commenter is making a completely different point than you. No one is normalizing the heckler’s actions or doesn’t think he is weird. The top comment is simply saying it’s better to ignore one heckler than give a viral reaction that’ll open the door for thousands more weirdos to heckle and call you “John Pork” or “Westbrick” for the rest of your career
Fans say shit like this then play victim is crazy to me. You obviously disrespecting him so a slap would be valid on Kuminga part.
Make Kum Bucket mad and get paid via lawsuit? What the helly sign me the fuck up.
What if instead of slapping you, he threatened to kum buckets on you? 🤔
Just another day in the office.
I would have to pay him for that.
Seriously. Thank you Mr. Kum Bucket for the settlement.
Yeah you deserve to be slapped 😂
“Your Honour, he called me Kum Bucket. I had to defend my name” 😂
It’s DOCTOR Kumbucket. Respect the PhD!
He’s gonna get paid you still broke
Kum up for air you’re choking on it
That’s such a Kumbucket thing to say
I want everyone to imagine what the guy who wrote this comment probably looks like
I’m imagining what you look like. LMFAO
Okay so is physical violence the only retaliation you know? If so, why? How were you raised?
But the violence didn’t happen, Kuminga doesn’t know the other guy’s name so who could respond in the exact same way.
He’s right, tho. Did your parents raise you like a dork taking you out and insult people in public?
Two people can be wrong, but the one assaulting others will always be more stupid imho
People not having fear of getting punched in the face is why society has become the way it is.
But nobody was assaulted….

Ah of course. A few “disrespectful” words are always a justification for violence.
This thing where people try to frame stuff as the most benign thing ever in order to invalidate criticisms of said thing has got to be one of the most intellectually dishonest things that regularly happens in our culture now.
I mean, he’s right that someone being incredibly rude isnt justification for beating them up, however if they do get beat up I definitely don’t blame the guy.
Even in the eyes of the law “he called me Kum bucket” isn’t gonna hold up court after you sent him to the hospital.
its a certain demographic that frames it that way
I see you don’t engage in disrespectful comments to people. Good on you mate.
Yup. You say heil Hitler and I don’t care what happens to you after that considering if you stand by those words you want me dead or subjugated. Remember only good Nazi….
He’s just calling him an abbreviated version of his name and adding bucket. At least they not saying Kum Dumpster.
Anyone who takes the bait like that is an insecure pussy lol
Kummy was also obviously not serious
Wish he would have said that to Draymond a few years back and we would have got rid of kuminga sooner.
This definitely ain’t gonna help his case. If anything its going to get worse now.
I’m probably the uncle here but that guy deserved a slap. Fans these days think they every right to disrespect someone’s name.
Yeah, idk if violence is the answer, but at the same time… talk shit, get hit ya know?
What if the dude was brollick and defended himself, that cool? Kum Bucket out a few games cause he got whipped?
The fact that Johnathon is held to such a higher standard and this fan behavior has been normalized, is why the “fan” thought he could get away with it in the first place.
Reminds me of teens on ebikes harassing people because they know you cant hit a minor without huge consequences.. so they act out and film it for fun.
Jonathan Kuminga reacted appropriately after his name was turned into a dysphemism* fixed the title
Overrated player
i hate these fans, Kuminga is 6’7” if you saw someone like that on the streets 0 shot you would say that to them.
i would
Would it be better if Kuminga was 5’8”?
Also 0 shot you know some random 6’7 dude’s name on the streets
I dead ass think Kum Bucket is a funny nickname 😭
Well we all look forward to your upcoming middle school graduation.
Absolutely wild to me the number of people that think violence is an acceptable response to any amount of disrespect.
Did you really think he was going to slap him, or was it more to express that what the person being an asshole said was not ok?
I’m not sure why I need to qualify “violence is bad” but I was mostly referring to other comments that were cheering this on.
Cheering what on? Nothing happened….
Wild to me people think they can say whatever and not get slapped
Wild that people would rather get into fights over bad words than go to therapy and learn how to emotionally regulate.
Sometimes people also need to learn there is consequences for their actions
Words aren’t actions
Was the violence in the clip?
It’s the culture
fuck off lol
It’s true though
Why do people think they’re entitled to be disrespectful
So glad Lakers didn’t trade for him. City of Los Angeles would tear this kid up
Instead of threatening to slap him, he should’ve threatened to kum buckets on him
Guaranteed that if Kuminga actually stepped to this bitch, he’d pull the, “sorry bro! I’m a big fan bro!” While trying not to get his ass beat.
Making fun of someone’s name is about as juvenile low class as you can get….slap is valid.
That’s my Kumbucket!!
Im So Fucking Scared
People need to grow up. It’s a dumb/juvenile nickname.
Jonathan “Kum Bucket” Kuminga goes so hard tho
Kum boy
Which is worst Kum Buckets or Westbrick?
The one that references semen

He’s right yk?
What about chum bucket??
