New York Knicks center Enes Kanter suffered a scary fall Wednesday night while battling for possession with Atlanta Hawks center Miles Plumlee.

The Hawks' Twitter account poked fun at Kanter being flipped, adding audio from former WWE commentator Jim Ross and concluding with The Undertaker's entrance music.

"I don't know who's running their social media - a high schooler? I have no idea," Kanter said, according to ESPN's Ian Bagley. "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."

Kanter got the last laugh, finishing with 17 points and 11 boards in New York's 112-107 victory. He's averaging 15.4 points and 11.7 rebounds in 12 appearances this season.
