Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane risked a technical foul to troll one of his old teammates in Houston Rockets guard Dillon Brooks.
During Friday night’s Grizzlies home game against the Rockets, Bane got right next to Brooks on the court and seemingly told him that he couldn’t dribble, which got him immediately t’d up by one of the referees.
Bane looked a bit bewildered by the call, but he kept chirping at Brooks as he was walking away. There is clearly no love lost between these two, and Bane didn’t let a technical foul keep him from trying to get in Brooks’ head.

The Grizzlies lost the game to the Rockets, 103-96, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Bane got his best verbal jab in at Brooks, who is known for messing with his opponents as it is.
We’re absolutely going to be glued to this NBA rivalry in the years to come.
