After the Grizzlies Game 2 win over the Lakers on Wednesday, forward Dillon Brooks doubled down on not being scared of facing LeBron James. Brooks said that he isn’t afraid to guard the four-time NBA champion because of his age.
“I don’t care, he’s old,” Brooks said. ”I poke bears. I don’t respect no one until they come and give me 40.”
On Friday, a day before the two sides face off in Los Angeles, James was asked if he had any response to Brooks’s trash talk, and the veteran had a very simple answer.
