The NBA didn’t fail to notice Dillon Brooks shove a cameraman on the sidelines during the Memphis Grizzlies game against the Miami Heat.
He was slapped with a $35,000 fine for his “unsportsmanlike act” and that had fans believing that the league had made the right move. You can view the clip below:

“Is there more of a douchebag move in pro sports than shoving a cameraman?” an angry fan retorted.

“I don’t like to spread hate but I hate this man. He’s so unprofessional,” a tweet read.

Brooks has been making the headlines for taking his shots at the Golden State Warriors, especially Draymond Green. The bitter history between the two teams has been one of the constant headlines since the start of March. This fine and his act of pushing the cameraman just add to his latest list of controversies.
Dillon Brooks Has Been Making Noise For All The Wrong Reasons
Banter and intense rivalry in any sport isn’t news, but taking things too far is. And that’s something Brooks has been guilty of. The Grizzlies are already dealing with the ramifications of Ja Morant’s controversies, and Brooks garnering bad press isn’t really helping their case.
From his altercations with Green to his big shots at the Warriors players, Brooks has been in the thick of it all. Recently, he took a dig at Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic for missing the contest against Memphis, much to everyone’s chagrin.
The ‘bad boy’ image might be fun, but Brooks will be wise enough to know that he must walk his talk — something that’s not been clearly visible. Only time will tell how it all ends for the Grizzlies and their hot-headed star. Safe to say he’s not making any fans or friends now.
