ESPN’s J.J. Redick is not thrilled with the media’s portrayal of Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks as a “scapegoat” following Memphis’s first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Lakers.
Retired NBA player Stephen Jackson is one observer who ripped member of the Grizzlies front office and how they portrayed Brooks in the media following the wing’s comments about LeBron James during the first-round playoff series.
Brooks called James “old,” and added that he didn’t respect anybody who couldn’t score 40 points on him. Following the Grizzlies’ first-round playoff exit, the team’s front office announced on Tuesday that Brooks would not be returning to the team “under any circumstances.”
