Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie has always had more to say than the average NBA player. He has always spoken his mind and he can be honest to a fault. Earlier this week, he unleashed on Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma for what Dinwiddie considers playing for a contract instead of playing winning basketball.
Kuzma clapped back at Dinwiddie for his comments made on FanDuel TV’s Run It Back show. but Dinwiddie continued the back-and-forth at practice on Thursday. Dinwiddie likened Kuzma to former Los Angeles Laker Rick Fox by saying that both were essentially along for the ride while the better players on the team carried them to winning titles.
Dinwiddie’s comments drew the attention of Fox himself who took the chance on Twitter to remind everyone, including Dinwiddie, how important he was to the Lakers’ success in the early 2000s. Fox admitted that his role on the team was defense, but that he was also important enough to the team to be named one of three captains along with Hall-Of-Famers Shaquille O’Neal and the late Kobe Bryant.
