Spencer Dinwiddie is a curious fellow, and ESPN NBA analyst Jay Williams took quick notice of that during a recent episode of “The Boardroom,” asking the Brooklyn Nets guard about his peculiar Instagram bio description.
The two shared a noteworthy exchange in a recent episode:

Yours says ‘I'm just a tech guy with a jump shot.”
Dinwiddie: “I align myself more with guys like Tony Stark. Obviously he's a fictional character, but obviously a guy like Tony Stark who is that genius or kind of that misunderstood people coming from comic books than I do just being a basketball player. So that's why I put it.”

Dinwiddie, despite boasting monstrous size for a point guard at 6-foot-6, isn't one steamrolling through his opponents or making use of his big body to overpower smaller guards. He rather picks them apart cerebrally, finding the mistakes in every defense and letting his body execute what his mind reveals he should do.
It's no surprise he wanted to become the pioneer by turning his new contract into a digital investment token, trailblazing what any other athlete in American sports has done with their millions. Spencer Dinwiddie also has the Nets in tip-top shape despite the loss of Kyrie Irving to a shoulder injury, going 10-5 during that stretch and vying for a playoff spot with him as the starting floor general.
