Enes Kanter and Spencer Dinwiddie found the time to set aside their differences and come together for a good cause. The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets have a simmering rivalry on social media, mainly due to Kanter and Dinwiddie's trash talking.
But they didn't let their previous spats get in the way of supporting the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund. The organization provides relief funds for victims of terrorism, natural disasters, and emergencies. The pair were working with the organization in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center:

The Twitter rivalry between Dinwiddie and Kanter is good for the Knicks-Nets rivalry and the city of New York. There is an energy in New York and Brooklyn alike. Knicks fans can look forward to watching exciting young rookies like Kevin Knox and Mitchell Robinson. Not to mention, the eventual return of Kristaps Porzingis will blow the roof off Madison Square Garden.
Brooklyn is slowly but steadily building a winning culture under the leadership of Sean Marks and Kenny Atkinson. The brain trust in Brooklyn is poised for a potential playoff push this season, and they are flying under the radar with a talented young backcourt in Dinwiddie and D'Angelo Russell.
But giving back is more important than what happens on the court. Seeing the Twitter rivals come together for a good cause is a reminder that there are bigger things than basketball. 9/11 is still an emotional day for New Yorkers, and this collaboration between Dinwiddie and Kanter is uplifting.
