Notorious Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks provokes another NBA superstar, this time it’s the Lakers’ LeBron James, after their testy exchanges in the playoff series. NBAPlayoffs
Self-professed stopper Dillon Brooks piped up to wittingly put down all-time great LeBron James, framing the Lakers’ leader as past his prime as the Memphis Grizzlies evened the NBA first round Western Conference playoff series at 1-all on Wednesday night, April 19.Brooks’ established history of flammable theatrics includes the hard flagrant 2 foul at the rim in the 2022 playoffs that put Warriors guard Gary Payton on the shelf with a shoulder injury.
Brooks mixed it up with James in testy exchanges on the court multiple times Wednesday. James had 28 points and 10 rebounds in the“I was waiting for that, I was expecting him to do that Game 4, Game 5, but he wanted to say something when I got my fourth foul,” Brooks said. “I don’t respect someone until they come and give me 40. I pride myself on what I do on defense and taking on any challenge that’s on the board. If it’s LeBron, if it’s AD , if it’s whoever.
Other All-Stars on Brooks’ unfriended list include Blazers guard Damian Lillard and Warriors guard Steph Curry. Brooks said Wednesday he knows James is a legend for a reason, but won’t be backing off – or backing down – in this series. “He’s a legend. He’s LeBron James. But when I’m on that floor, you’re just another player to me,” Brooks said. “I don’t care who you are. You’re just 6-8, 270 pounds and you’re a basketball player.”
