Enes Kanter’s infamous Twitter fingers are making yet another appearance.
Kanter and the New York Knicks defeated the Phoenix Suns on Friday night in a game where Suns guard Devin Booker was ejected. Booker, who had already picked up a technical foul earlier in the contest, was tossed in the third quarter when he shoved Kanter after a block, picking up a second T in the process.

The Knicks would go on to win 107-85. After the game, Kanter taunted Booker by tweeting an image of the third-year guard literally holding an “L.”
Hold that “L” kid.

That tweet prompted veteran Suns forward Jared Dudley to stand up for his young teammate. Dudley fired back at Kanter, calling him a “fake tough guy.”
You talking like you in the playoffs bruh!!! You not Westbrook bruh!! 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! https://t.co/YD0j0J1jCy

That led to Kanter taking a shot at the 32-year-old Dudley’s “retirement body” before Dudley ultimately got in the last word, calling out Kanter’s defense.
Get on the treadmill before you talk bro.
You got the retirement body https://t.co/X6GuST1kft— Enes Kanter (@Enes_Kanter) January 27, 2018

Yes, Kanter is coming from a position of strength since the Knicks got the win and are higher than the Suns in the standings as well. But as Dudley hinted at above, Kanter has already gotten himself into trouble with his tweeting in recent days, and it does not appear that he learned his lesson.
