After Spencer Dinwiddie had already stirred the pot with his assertion that he should’ve won last year’s Most Improved Player award, the Brooklyn guard continued to stoke the fires of a milquetoast Nets-Knicks rivalry in need of a little heat going into Friday’s preseason meeting at the Garden.
During the same interview on the YES Network — which aired at halftime of Wednesday’s preseason loss to the Raptors — Dinwiddie reiterated he felt the Nets were better than their cross-river rivals. It wasn’t a new claim, as he stated as much back in August in part of a back-and-forth with Knicks center Enes Kanter.
