Beef among NBA players often stays on the court as they usually hash it out right there and then. However, sometimes things tend to boil over as players start taking shots at one another during press conferences or on social media platforms. One of the more recent examples of this in the league has been the beef between Kevin Durant and NBA legend Charles Barkley. That trend continued as a former NBA champion absolutely went off on his former teammate, leading to fans going berserk on social media.

Having dragged Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in order to insult his former teammate, this 2020 NBA champion seemed to go all in when his ex-teammate decided to reignite months-old beef.

Recently, Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie appeared on ?FanDuel TV.? That is where the host ended up asking him about a months-old beef he had with his former teammate, Kyle Kuzma. Dinwiddie, who was part of the Dallas Mavericks at the time, said, ?For them [Washington Wizards], it?s a showcase.”?

“They?re over there trying to get paid, not trying to play winning basketball.? Wizards star Kyle Kuzma didn’t take Dinwiddie’s comments lightly as he replied with a six-tweet thread, insulting his former teammate with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving references as well.

Kuzma started off the thread with, ?Ok so since I?m so ?famous?@FanDuelTV & @SDinwiddie_25 let me give you all some clout. I?m usually unbothered but things on the internet but I will not allow this delusional guy to continue to talk about my teammates and I.?

The 2020 NBA champion took shots at whatever he could find on Dinwiddie’s resume, which included crediting Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for helping Brooklyn reach the Playoffs. He mentioned the fact that the Nets had 34 wins before Dinwiddie re-joined the team. After Dinwiddie’s arrival, the Nets went 11-13 in the remaining games, barely qualifying for the Playoffs automatically. However, this didn’t happen randomly as Dinwiddie had recently made comments about Kuzma again.

NBA fans were stunned by Kuzma’s detailed tweets

Having insulted Kyle Kuzma before, Dinwiddie decided to take a few more shots at the Washington Wizards forward once again. This time, the 6?5 point guard said, ?You?re probably not even a third star really on a good team, because if you were, the Lakers would have kept you.??That is what led Kuzma to go off.

The 6?8 Wizards forward did not leave any stone unturned, bringing up his multiple trades, referring to him as a basketball passed around and so much more in order to roast Dinwiddie then. Fans were left stunned by Kuzma’s reply.

One fan tweeted, ?He?s got a family, sir.?

While another fan commented, ?Broooo you didn?t have to do him like that.?

Here are a few more reactions from fans on Twitter.
