During the NBA's suspended season, Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie has been very active on Twitter engaging with fans.
After all, what else is the Nets guard supposed to do? The NBA closed all of its facilities and the government is advising everyone to stay inside during the coronavirus pandemic.
Friday morning, Dinwiddie took to Twitter to sarcastically react to the news that U.S. Senators are allegedly taking part in insider trading:
And were placed into mutual funds so they couldn’t cherry pick stocks or sectors with the knowledge they attain everyday on Capitol Hill. Ive never been so shocked in my life 😑

U.S. Senators Richard Burr and Kelly Loeffler are under fire for cashing in on stocks before the recent market dip due to the coronavirus pandemic wreaking havoc on the economy.
Clearly, Dinwiddie isn't all that surprised by this kind of thing happening. The Nets guard is well-versed in the financial world, even turning his contract into a unique investment vehicle.
Before the NBA suspended play, Dinwiddie and the Nets were in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 30-34. If the season resumes, the expectation is that the Nets will still have to play without superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Durant is still recovering from his Achilles tear, while Irving is rehabbing his shoulder injury. Kyrie only played in 20 games this season for the Nets.
In 64 games for the Nets in 2019-20, Dinwiddie is averaging 20.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists. The Los Angeles native is shooting 41.5 percent from the field, 30.8 percent from beyond the arc and 77.8 percent from the free-throw line.
The Nets parted ways with head coach Kenny Atkinson right before the season was suspended following Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert's positive coronavirus test. It has been an eventful season for Brooklyn, that's for sure.
Hopefully, the NBA is able to resume play in the summer. Dinwiddie and the Nets are eager to prove to the world the team can still go on a deep postseason run sans Durant and Irving.
