it was already late Dillon Brooks in provoking LeBron James. The controversial Grizzlies forward, who accumulates countless troubles this season, challenged ‘The King’ even before the Lakers passed the ‘play-in’ and this duel between the Grizzlies and the first round purple and gold materialized. He was too ‘quiet’ in the first game -victory for the Lakers-, but he only he was saving himself for the second duel.
Brooks, constantly drawing on the art of ‘trash talk’ and what is not ‘trash talk’ in his individual duel with the ‘6’, he had enough of hesitating LeBron, who ended up going into the rag and making a comment to the forward after scoring on a play. The Grizzlies player was able to enjoy a dunk in the presence of the ‘King’, as well as scoring the triple that sealed the game to his face.
And then, on top of that, more hesitating in the locker room. “I don’t respect anyone until they come and give me 40 points”, Brooks told reporters that he also had an exchange of words with LeBron after the match. One of the reporters told him that there are those who believe that he should not have this attitude towards a star of the caliber of ‘The Chosen One’.
“I don’t care, he’s old. I wait for him for games 4 and 5. He is not at the same level as when he was in Cleveland y Miami. I wish I saw that. I mean, it would have been harder to defend him”, the forward released in statements collected by ‘The Athletic’, who revealed that LeBron accused him of “tonto” after the fourth foul in the third quarter that sent Brooks to the bench.
“I let him know that he can’t catch me one on one. Does not have. He goes to watch the video. He doesn’t really fuck me until that moment (the one of the aforementioned LeBron scoring play). Then it was when he was replaced, he was tired. So I did my job, ”he explained, staying so comfortable with Dillon Brooks, who has already had problems this season with other stars like Kyrie Irving, Donovan Mitchell y Draymond Green.
