Forward Dillon Brooks is widely known in league circles for playing the role of the “villain”, and he is clearly a player that loves to spoil things for superstars and take on the challenge of guarding the most challenging players for his team.
One of the players that Dillon Brooks has been willing to antagonize is superstar LeBron James. He has been the primary defender on James in the series between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, and the two have already had some trash talk toward one another. Ahead of Game 3, we saw LeBron James and Dillon Brooks exchange words, and the interaction notably seemed amicable.

There is no doubt that the two will likely be jawing at one another in the game setting, but it’s clear that there is no real beef between the two players beyond the basketball being played.
Dillon Brooks has averaged 13.5 PPG, 2.5 RPG, and 2.5 APG for the Memphis Grizzlies in the playoffs thus far. However, his defense has been spectacular, and the Grizzlies will need him to continue providing impact on that end of the floor if they are to beat the Lakers.
Dillon Brooks Roasted LeBron James In Their Last Matchup
After Game 2, Dillon Brooks had some words to say about LeBron James, claiming that this superstar is “old”, and noted that he wouldn’t respect James until he got 40 points scored on him.
“I don’t care, he’s old. I was waiting for that, I was expecting him to do that Game 4 or Game 5. He wanted to say something when I got my 4th foul, he didn’t say nothing early on. But you know, I poke bears. I don’t respect no one until they come in and give me 40. So, I pride myself on defense and taking on any challenge.”
It is clear that Dillon Brooks is confident even against the toughest opponents, and hopefully that confidence results in him impacting the series against the Lakers. The Grizzlies should definitely win based on their talent, but the Los Angeles Lakers are not at team that will roll over and give up on a series. This will definitely be a competitive matchup, and it’ll be interesting to see who ends up coming out on top.
