New York Knicks center Enes Kanter has become the NBA’s social media villain after his latest Twitter war, this time with Jared Dudley of the Phoenix Suns.
Here’s a message to anyone who plays the New York Knicks: Don’t mess with Enes Kanter. You’ll regret it.
Kanter got into an altercation with the Suns’ Devin Booker Friday night in Phoenix. Booker was ejected from the game in the third quarter after he shoved Kanter in the back. Kanter had blocked Booker’s shot and then stared him down, which resulted in the shove. Both players got technical for the incident.
After the game Kanter tweeted, “Hold that ‘L’ kid. Talk to me nice or don’t talk to me at all,” with a photo of Booker holding up the letter L.
Hold that “L” kid.

Booker’s teammate Jared Dudley responded to Kanter by calling him a “fake tough guy.”
“You talking like you in the playoffs bruh!!! You not Westbrook bruh!!” Dudly tweeted. “Don’t let that Knicks hype fool you! We know what you are a fake tough guy who like twitter! We already saw Lebron son you!”

Wow, Kanter just got thumped by Dudley. but he wasn’t going to take that laying down.
“Get on the treadmill before you talk bro,” he tweeted. “You got the retirement body. [two crying with laughter emojis]”

Ouch. Dudley had a great comeback to that insult.
“Your as corny as you look Boi! Just remember this NBA fraternity knows exactly who you are! One of the worst pick n roll defender in the NBA! Now hold that L kid!”

The Suns may have lost the game but Kanter took an L to Dudley, retirement body and all.
This isn’t Kanter’s first Twitter feud, however. Back in November, he called out LeBron James for his comments on Knicks rookie Frank Ntilikina. Last week Kanter trolled LeBron after the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Who’s next on Kanter’s list? We’ll have to wait and see.
