Dillon Brooks has been the center of attention in the series between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Lakers. His comments about LeBron James following Game 2 would always ensure that he had the spotlight on him in Game 3.
In the crucial game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Dillon Brooks responded by shooting an abysmal 23% from the field on 13 shots and getting ejected for hitting LeBron James in the groin. Naturally, fans were ready to troll him with a vengeance after that performance.

The ironclad rule of the NBA is that if you talk trash, you have to be able to back it up. It’s why players had so much respect for Larry Bird. And one fan implied that he doesn’t have what it takes to be on that level.

Talking smack to a lot of players is understandable, but if you’re doing it to a GOAT candidate, it will get noticed. As one fan said, Brooks got karma for trying to talk smack to LeBron James.
This is what happens when you disrespect the goats…. Karma always comes back https://t.co/yssy5KlU6x

There have been plenty of times players have announced themselves to the league by putting in big performances when the lights are brightest. Brooks had the opportunity but couldn’t get it done.
Somebody should submit his resume for the most “I’m NOT him moment of the 2023”. 🤣

And while most fans were out to troll him, one explained how Dillon Brooks still got what he wanted out of the whole situation.

Dillon Brooks will play in Game 4 of the series, and it is now one that the Grizzlies need to win. They have what it takes, and Ja Morant is back in form as well, but Dillon Brooks will need to bounce back in a major way if he wants to get the win as well as the respect of the fans.
LeBron James Answered Whether Dillon Brooks Should Have Been Suspended For The Next Game
Dillon Brooks could have earned himself a suspension with his actions against LeBron James. The fact that he didn’t is wild, but LeBron James’ response to him potentially being out showed just what the King thinks of him.
“I don’t know. I’m not a part of the committee. So, If he’s in the lineup, if he’s out of the lineup, gotta prepare no matter what. Looking forward to the challenge that Monday will bring.”
LeBron James has played for too long and has had players try to rile him up for too long to be bothered. If Brooks wants to get the respect he thinks he deserves, he needs to play to that level in the next game.
