“He got a compliment from Kobe and it went to his head” - Fans react to Kyle Kuzma’s comments on Spencer Dinwiddie

Kyle Kuzma and Spencer Dinwiddie continue to take shots at one another. Kuzma posted a series of tweets on Wednesday, making fun of Dinwiddie's stats, and pointing out the lack of success the Brooklyn Nets guard has achieved in his professional career.

Kuzma said he was sick and tired of Dinwiddie disrespecting him. The Brooklyn Nets guard, who played for the Dallas Mavericks earlier this season, said that the Wizards only played to get paid and that they didn't care about winning.

Dinwiddie also said that Kuzma wasn't even a third star on his team and that the LA Lakers would've kept him if he was good. The Wizards forward did not hold back in his response, making fun of the Brooklyn guard and even calling him "Dins**ttie." Kuzma also made fun of Dinwiddie's involvement in cryptocurrency.

Basketball fans on social media were quick to react, marking this as the beginning of the "Kuz villain era."

A few years ago, Kobe Bryant had words of praise for Dinwiddie, calling him an All-Star. Some fans believe that it's affected his attitude.

Some users pointed out that the Lakers won a ring thanks to the efforts of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, with Kuzma contributing very little.

Considering the history between Kuzma and Dinwiddie, it's very unlikely that their beef will stop anytime soon.

It's unlikely Dinwiddie, who will play his sixth playoff game with the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, will take this lying down.
