Dillon Brooks has become public enemy No. 1 during the Lakers vs. Grizzlies series, he has been blasted by everyone from players to media to fans. The trolling has been incessant, and his refusal to acknowledge any of it with the media has made things worse.
As always, the most creative disses are coming from fans. Even before the Lakers clinched Game 6, fans in the arena were calling him ‘Shanghai Sharks Brooks’ among other choice insults. And a video of an old segment between Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley did become the latest meme to go viral.
The segment was from a popular game that the Inside The NBA crew plays, called ‘Who He Play For?’ In this game, Charles Barkley tries to guess which teams lesser-known NBA role players play for. The final answer in one of the segments was a team in China, and the joke of using Dillon Brooks’ face there was to say that he isn’t even fit to play in the NBA next season.
Dillon Brooks will be a free agent this summer, and his future seems uncertain at the moment. His shot has looked broken in the playoffs, and his defense was exposed by the Los Angeles Lakers as well. The Memphis Grizzlies might be over all the negative attention he brings with his antics as well. While it is extra to say he will be playing in China, surely some teams that might have wanted Brooks have been a little turned off by the way things have gone recently.
Charles Barkley Gave Dillon Brooks Some Blunt Advice He Needs To Take
Dillon Brooks has the potential to be an excellent defender and a good shooter, the talent is there. His actions cause a distraction though, and it’s evident that he’s alienated a lot of people with the way he’s being criticized. Ultimately, he needs to follow the advice Charles Barkley gave him.
“Dillon Brooks, I got nothing but respect for you. But just go ball and shut the hell up,” Charles Barkley said.
The offseason is long, and with a lot of basketball left in the playoffs, all the noise surrounding Brooks should blow over soon. He has decisions to make about his future, but whatever he decides to do, he needs to shut down his talking until he helps a team achieve something big.
