SUMMARY

- Kuzma responded with a lengthy thread of tweets mocking Dinwiddie.
Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma have been engaged in an interesting argument via social media and other online platforms. As many NBA fans should be aware, Dinwiddie is one of the top stars from the 2023-2024 buyout market and is soon expected to join the Los Angeles Lakers.
Although Kuzma is in no danger of being traded, he too played for the Lakers and even won an NBA championship alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the 2020 NBA Finals. Both Dinwiddie and Kuzma also had the opportunity to play alongside each other as teammates on the Washington Wizards.
While one might assume that they are on relatively good terms considering that they are former teammates, both of them have been taking shots at each other and drawn quite a lot of attention to themselves. That said, fans might want to know more about the source of conflict between the two NBA stars.Spencer Dinwiddie accused Kyle Kuzma of playing for money on a bad team
Since NBA stars are given a lot of value in the basketball community, they are often invited to share their thoughts and opinions through podcasts and other similar mediums. Spencer Dinwiddie claimed that Kyle Kuzma made attempts to score even when it wasn’t in the best interest of his team in order to improve his own scoring average and potentially secure a larger contract in the future.
Despite the fact that there is no way of knowing whether this is true or not, Dinwiddie made quite a controversial accusation by accusing Kuzma of putting his own needs ahead of his team’s victory. Spencer even went on to claim that Kuzma wouldn’t even be the third-best star on a championship-level team considering that the Lakers ended up trading him.
“You know that you’re there shooting shots to try to get a contract. You’re probably not even a third star really on a good team because if you were the Lakers would have kept you.”

While Dinwiddie could claim that he was merely sharing his opinion, his shot at Kuzma was not taken on the cheek as the Washington Wizards star responded in a lengthy and detailed manner.
Kuzma responded with a barrage of taunts against Dinwiddie
After finding out that his former teammate had taken a public shot at him, Kuzma took to social media and sent out a lengthy thread of tweets dismissing Spencer Dinwiddie and claiming that he had no right to talk in the first place.
Kuz claimed that Dinwiddie knew nothing about winning and had been bounced around the league more than a basketball. He also mocked Spencer’s stats while on the Washington Wizards and even went on to opine that Dinwiddie was hating him on him out of nothing more than jealousy.
Fans who found this argument never really got a direct response from Spencer. All he did was claim that Kuzma was behaving like a 10-year-old and throwing taunts at him with no basis.
In any case, members of the basketball community who are familiar with both stars can decide for themselves as to which accusation holds more truth.
