Spencer Dinwiddie addressed the Twitter beef between him and his former teammate in Washington Kyle Kuzma during his interview on FanDuel TV.
It started with Dinwiddie, who was with the Mavericks at the time, saying that the Wizards are not playing winning basketball. He made the comment after Dallas lost against Washington.
In response, Kuzma tweeted “The funny thing is they don’t play winning basketball” followed by laughing and clown emojis.
Speaking about the beef, Dinwiddie explained that he made the comment in order to motivate his team that had high aspirations for the season. He also implied that Kuzma’s priorities are not in order.
“There’s a lot of guys in the NBA that really pour their heart and soul into basketball, are willing to do whatever it takes to win. There are guys that have different things that drive and motivate them,” the Nets point guard said on FanDuel TV.
“I think if you look at him and the way he approaches life, fame, all that stuff, then we can see that his priorities tend to vary. That’s why he dresses the way he does, he approaches basketball the way he does, the comments he makes.
“Like I said with Draymond quote, insecurity is loud. You know that you’re there shooting shots to try to get a contract. You’re probably not even a third star when you’re on a good team because if you were, the Lakers would have kept you.”
“My complete response to Kuz and all the other stuff to address it directly, I mean, I played with the guy. We know what the priorities were.
“A lot of times people thought I was talking about Brad[ley Beal] or whatever. I look at Brad the same way I look at Dame [Damian Lillard]. He’s loyal to D.C. …”
“But in D.C. if you got three max dudes Porzingis, Brad and Kuz, how you miss the playoffs? None of these things make sense. Unless your priorities aren’t in order,” Dinwiddie concluded.
