Dillon Brooks’s confidence to provoke the NBA’s top stars with his pesky antics on the court is unmatched. The latest assignment for the Grizzlies’ forward is limiting the production of Lakers superstar LeBron James in the Western Conference first-round matchup between Memphis and Los Angeles.
Following the Grizzles’ 103–93 win in Game 2 on Wednesday, Brooks did not disappoint in his postgame comments about the four-time NBA champion after staring James down during multiple occasions in the game.
“I don’t care, he’s old,” Brooks said, via ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. “I was waiting for that, I was expecting him to do that Game 4, Game 5, he wanted to say something when I got my fourth foul. He shouldn’t have said that earlier on. I poke bears. I don’t respect anyone until they come and give me 40.”
