Basketball in New York City figures to be mediocre again this season, but the two sides are trying to spice it up with some Twitter beef.
Spencer Dinwiddie got the ball rolling Monday night, when he quoted a tweet that showed Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest) predicting the Eastern Conference Finals would feature the Pacers and Knicks.
“The @nyknicks!? My guy can’t be serious they’re not even the best team in NY,” the Nets guard wrote with a crying-laughing emoji.
Of course the Knicks’ most active Twitter user took notice. Enes Kanter, who notably engaged in social media battles last season with LeBron James, didn’t let Dinwiddie’s comment go without a response.
