The ongoing back-and-forth between Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma continued Thursday, when Dinwiddie said there were “a lot of contradictions” in Kuzma’s thread and a nickname that he hadn’t heard since he was “like 10 years old.”
Kuzma sent out a seven-message thread on Twitter on Wednesday in response to Dinwiddie’s comments on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back” show, where the Nets guard blasted Kuzma’s commitment — “his priorities tend to vary,” Dinwiddie said — and insecurity and said that he’s “probably not even a third star on a good team, and if you were the Lakers would’ve kept you.”

The Wizards forward called Dinwiddie “delusional,” told him to thank Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for the Nets’ playoff berth and claimed that he has “so much real estate on “Dins–ttie island.”
In his third tweet, Kuzma asked Dinwiddie “what in the world have you won in this league? Lol you’ve been bounced around like a basketball my boy.”
Dinwiddie chuckled Thursday when asked if he saw Kuzma’s thread, before addressing it and then saying he wanted to keep the focus on the Nets’ looming first-round series against the 76ers.

“At the end of the day, I spoke truth and got rebutted with 10-year-old insults,” Dinwiddie said from the HSS Training Center in Brooklyn.
Dinwiddie, who was teammates with Kuzma in Washington last season, responded to Kuzma’s claim that he hadn’t accomplished anything in the league by pointing to his playoff appearance history and trip to the Western Conference Finals alongside Luka Doncic and the Mavericks last year.
Then, Dinwiddie appeared to link Kuzma to former Laker Rick Fox and his role in Los Angeles’ string of NBA titles.

“Some people are blessed to be in situations,” Dinwiddie said. “We don’t get mad at Rick Fox for winning a championship with Kobe and Shaq. Like some people are blessed, right, and that’s great, but we can’t act like Rick Fox led them to a championship. Like let’s not do that.”
Kuzma won a championship with the Lakers in 2020, when he averaged 12.9 points per game that year alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
