Enes Kanter of the New York Knicks just blasted the Atlanta Hawk's Twitter handler, tagging him as a high schooler.
The post below features an edited clip of Kanter, front flipping and landing on his back after a battle for a rebound:

Kanter himself retweeted the clip and responded to it. He added that the Hawks' behavior weirded him out because they lost the game 112-107. Not only that, Kanter himself had a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
Hold that “L” 😉 @ATLHawks https://t.co/1QeDGZuBlE

Per Ian Begley of ESPN, Kanter shared his thoughts on the Hawks' antics. According to him, the Hawks should replace whoever is handling their Twitter account. He has been observing the account and this is not the first time that they've sent something crazy:
“I don't know who's running their social media — a high schooler? I have no idea,” Kanter said. “I know they've been tweeting some crazy stuff. Probably a high schooler. Whoever it is, they should consider anyone [else] for sure because it is terrible.”
On a more serious note, Kanter called out the Hawks' behavior, noting that he could've been seriously hurt in the incident. He understands that it's extra-competitive in the NBA but everything has its limits:
“I understand it's a war, but come on, man. In the end we're all human out there,” he said. “So you shouldn't be doing that. I wouldn't do that. In the end, everybody's got a family, everybody's got friends and everything. So I think they took it a little bit too far.”
