Spencer Dinwiddie kept the Brooklyn Nets afloat while Kyrie Irving was sidelined due to a right shoulder impingement. He was named a Player of the Week once, up for the honor on several other occasions and a Player of the month nominee twice.
Although Irving has taken charge in his return — prior to his injury on Saturday — Dinwiddie has still played well. He had the entire league’s attention.
Still, Dinwiddie didn’t get an All-Star nod this year. But, unlike other players across the NBA, the Nets guard hasn’t expressed frustration over the lack of recognition.
Though, there is one thing Dinwiddie is a bit frustrated about, per Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News:
Look at it like this: I won the Skills Challenge and didn’t get invited back. What does that [expletive] say?
Dinwiddie later took to Twitter to stand by his comments. However, on Sunday, he decided to issue an apology:
The other night I was asked about participating in the Skills Challenge and I want to apologize for my comments. If I am given the opportunity again I am confident I could win it again and continue to represent the league and the Nets in positive way.
