Spencer Dinwiddie Gets in Twitter Fight With Knicks Fan Over Mitchell Robinson Highlight
By Scott Rogust
The NBA is the gift that keeps on giving. Even though the 2019-20 season was put on hold due to the global coronavirus pandemic, the traditional drama took no vacation, as evidenced on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the NBA Central Twitter account posted a video of New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson showing off some serious handles for a seven-footer. But crosstown rival Spencer Dinwiddie slowed everyone's roll on Wednesday morning, saying that while Robinson has a talented step-back jumper, the Knicks would never let him be the primary ball carrier (or try any of this nonsense) under any circumstances.
Very talented guy but I doubt the Knicks letting him go full Harden in a game lol https://t.co/dIsGRptSMS

A Brooklyn Net criticizing the Knicks? Oh man, here come the pitchforks and torches!
After Dinwiddie's tweet, a Knicks fan went full nuclear in the replies. This individual actually posted a highlight reel of the Brooklyn guard missing a variety of step back 3-point shots, Harden-style.
Of course, Dinwiddie had a clap-back suggesting that even though he's missed, he still has 16 game-winning shots.
Isn’t this why they say have a short memory? Lol gotta have some misses to get to 16 GWs https://t.co/MR4h80gjl1

If there's a lesson to be learned, it's to never come at an NBA player about his individual misses -- they've just got to move on from those, constantly.
The only way this situation could get more awkward if fans vote for Dinwiddie to sign with the Knicks in 2022 via bitcoin. Is it wrong that we want this?
