LeBron James played a crucial role in helping the Lakers beat the Grizzlies 117–111 on Monday night to go up 3–1 in the first-round playoff series, and fans were quick to troll Memphis forward Dillon Brooks based on some comments he made about the L.A. star back in January.
A few months ago, Brooks told reporters that the four-time NBA champion “doesn’t want to go left.” Apparently, James took that personally.
When Game 4 was in overtime, James drove the ball to his left and scored a layup over Brooks with 29.1 seconds remaining. Brooks fouled James in the process, but the Lakers star was unable to convert the three-point play by missing his free throw. Even still, the layup was enough to seal L.A.’s victory.
