Dillon Brooks has clearly embraced his role as the NBA’s supervillain.
On Monday, a day after battling against LeBron James during the Rockets’ 105–104 loss to the Lakers, Brooks took his antics to a new level when he changed his name on Instagram to “Villain.”
Brooks’s persona was on full display when officials assessed James with a technical foul for pushing the Rockets forward with his forearm during the second quarter of Sunday’s matchup. After James laughed at the officials for the technical foul, Brooks carried a smirk on his face as he jogged down the court inside Crypto.com Arena.
