Dillon Brooks on his interactions with LeBron James: 'I don't care, he's old'
The Grizzlies guard kept the trash-talking coming during his postgame interview when asked about the interactions with LeBron. “I don’t care, he’s old, Brooks said. “I was waiting for that. I was expecting him to do that Game 4, Game 5. He wanted to say something when I got my fourth foul. “I poke bears, I don’t respect anyone until they come and give me 40. I pride myself on what I do, defense and taking on any challenge that’s on the board.”

Following a Game 2 win, Three Days Grace’s “Animal I have Become” blasted in the locker room. Memphis was loose.
Desmond Bane predicted the series emotions would pick up “by the end of it.”

Dillon Brooks says “I poke bears” and then takes some shots at LeBron James.
He will be well received in Los Angeles, I’m sure.
“It just goes to show that people know the name, and they have to boo the name — Dillon Brooks.”

Oh,and he’s not worried about what James will do when he sees these comments.

The Lakers rebuilt their supporting cast around the idea that LeBron James—especially in Year 20—needed shooting around him.
If that’s going to be the theory of your team, the non-Bron Lakers can’t combine to attempt 18 3’s. I don’t care if they’re missing, you have to take them – 10:00 PM

My biggest complaint about LeBron these past few seasons is now that you know for the entire possession when he’s going to settle for a 3. I get it. He’s in Year 20. Can’t get to the rim every single time. But it makes things so much easier on the defense. – 9:24 PM

Draymond Green was wrong to stomp on Sabonis and he needs to stop the antics, but it is wild to me Draymond got the same punishment as Dillon Brooks for breaking Gary Payton II’s elbow in the Western semis, forcing him to miss a month. #dubnation – 12:55 AM
More on this storyline
Chris Mannix: LeBron noted at the end of his postgame interview that Saturday will be the Lakers first playoff home game with full fan access since he signed there. LA, of course, won the 2020 title in the bubble and were allowed limited attendance in ’21. “I’m excited for that,” James said. -via Twitter @SIChrisMannix / April 20, 2023
Damichael Cole: Dillon Brooks says he wish he would’ve gotten a chance to guard Miami or Cleveland LeBron James. “It would’ve been a harder task.” -via Twitter @DamichaelC / April 20, 2023
Jovan Buha: Game 2: Grizzlies 103, Lakers 93 The Grizzlies even the series 1-1. LeBron James had 28 points and 12 rebounds. Rui Hachimura had 20 points off the bench. AD (4-14) and DLo (2-11) both struggled offensively. There will be a Game 5 back in Memphis. Up next: Game 3 in LA on Sat. -via Twitter @jovanbuha / April 19, 2023
Apparently it took four titles for players (not named Dillon Brooks) to finally stop questioning Draymond Green’s greatness. He shared this unwelcome distinction with Russell Westbrook in 2019 by earning 17.0 percent of the vote, but slid down to 3.7 percent in this edition. (Westbrook received no votes.) As for Young, it should surprise no one that even his fellow players are somewhat skeptical of him these days. He’s the Atlanta Hawks franchise centerpiece player during this time of great tumult and organizational transition, which means the spotlight will fall mostly on him. Just as it did in a much more flattering way years ago when the Hawks made their unexpected run to the East Finals. -via The Athletic / April 18, 2023
