Scoop Charles Barkley’s reaction to Dillon calling LeBron James old below:
Brooks has built a reputation as an on-court agitator in his six years in the NBA.
He was drafted by the Houston Rockets in 2017 and immediately traded to the Memphis Grizzlies.
In the NBA regular season, Dillon got into it with NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe at a Lakers game, and that situation also had to do with LeBron James.
Shannon Sharpe heckled Dillon Brooks by telling him he couldn’t guard LeBron James, which led to on-court arguments with Dillon, his teammates Ja Morant, and Stephen Adams.
The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Los Angeles Lakers 103-93 with their best player Ja Morant sidelined with a hand injury.
Game 3 is Saturday night (April 22) at 10 PM EST in Los Angeles, and the NBA world is waiting to see how LeBron James responds.
This was a brilliant move by Dillon Brooks.
