Dillon Brooks got into it briefly with LeBron James on Wednesday night, and he's not thinking twice about it.
Brooks finished with 12 points in the win, and shot 5-of-14 from the field. James, on the other hand, dropped a game-high 28 points and had 12 rebounds for the Lakers.
While it’s certainly a bold decision to stare down one of the best players to ever play the game the way Brooks did, he’s more than good with it. Not only does he feel that’s his role, but James has yet to drop 40 points on him.Brooks didn't stop there, either.that he would've had the chance to guard James when he was playing on either the Miami Heat or Cleveland Cavaliers, because"it would've been a harder task.
James, though he’s 38 and nearing the end of his career, has five 40-point games already this season. He’s averaging 28.9 points this season, his fifth-highest scoring output in his 20 seasons in the league. And after Brooks’ comments, don’t be surprised if he rattles another one off on Saturday at Crypto.com Arena.
