Two of the most iconic basketball players in Australian history have clashed on social media.

Controversial commentator and former NBL MVP Corey 'Homicide' Williams took a swipe at Australian basketball icon Andrew Bogut after a lackluster performance in the Sydney Kings clash with the Perth Wildcats on Saturday.

While the match was a nail-biter, with the Kings coming back from a 15-point deficit to win by one, Williams ignored the result and slammed Bogut, who responded with a scathing criticism of the commentator.

Laying out Bogut's stat line of six points, six rebounds, no blocks and four fouls, Williams slammed the seven-foot centre as having 'zero impact on the game'.

Admitting he had played a 'shocker', Bogut hit back at Williams, saying he puts the team first.

In a scathing Tweet, Williams said Andrew Bogut had 'zero impact' in a game his team won by a point

'Guess what? TEAM won. Unlike yourself who stat chased, I couldn’t care about stats,' he wrote.

'I understand the NBL pay you to be controversial and I probably shouldn’t fault the hustle when you have no other job options other than being a mini Stephen A Smith.'

Smith is a controversial American sports personality who covers the basketball, football and baseball in the United States, and is notorious for arguing with other sportscasters on the air.

Ironically, only seconds after tip-off in the Perth-Sydney game, Williams lauded Bogut's season stats and said he was a front runner for MVP.

'First to admit [I] had a shocker,' he wrote after putting up six points and six rebounds

Basketball fans flocked to Bogut's defence, replying to Williams' initial Tweet and saying he was really the one who had had 'zero impact on the game' in his 17-year basketball career.

'You know the game is still 5 on 5, right? It ain't tennis,' one fan wrote.

An undrafted free agent following the 1999 NBA Draft, Williams signed with a number of NBA teams to play in the preseason, but never got selected to make his regular season debut.

Following an unsuccessful career overseas, he moved to Australia to play for the Townsville Crocodiles in 2007, winning a Most Valuable Player award in 2010.

He joined the Fox Sports commentary team in 2016 and has covered the NBL for the past two seasons.

Bogut, meanwhile, joined the Sydney Kings at the start of the 2018-19 season after a 12 year career in the NBA.

He was drafted as the number one overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks, and played there for the majority of his career before stints in Golden State, Dallas, Los Angeles and Cleveland.

The 34-year-old from Melbourne won a championship with the Warriors in 2015, before injuries derailed the rest of his time in the league.

In 12 games for the Kings this season, Bogut is averaging 11.5 points, 11.3 rebounds and almost three blocks a game, throwing his name in the conversation for MVP.
