[Dillon Brooks] takes shots at Lebron: “He’s a social media junkie, he’s all over the socials, so he sees what I’m saying… he gets in his moods and I’m all for that. I wish we let him shoot that shot — that shit would’ve been an airball”
so this is the Dillon Brooks experience, huh?
Yup. It’s not for everyone
I love it…a true pest
Eh, this is that ugly style. A true pest yeah but we shouldn’t champion asshole culture.
if he wasn’t an nba player making millions he’d be an absolute loser in everyone’s eyes, he’s a cornball
Yeah, of course. If he wasn’t one of the few people on the earth talented enough to play a sport at an elite level, he’d be a total loser.
The Dillon Brooks Paradox!!
Yeah. The guy acts like a dickhead and if he wasn’t immensely talented he would be a loser due to this shit.
I work with a guy who coached him in baseball and said he was a little shit.
It’s entertainment baby, and I’m entertained
I mean, that’s a lot of guys in the league. Most of these dudes barely have a high school education
i get what you mean but you don’t need to have a high school diploma to be successful or not a loser
I sense some hate in your harmless message, you don’t need a degree to be hardworking and consistent and that’s what most of the guys in the league have that the Randoms on Reddit don’t have , jeez
Definitely hate and a common trend across Reddit to lower the value of these athletes by pointing out their education level. At that level you’re exposed to highest level of real life applicable education that’s needed regardless of a college degree.
Being good at exercising doesn’t make you not stupid.
Exactly. I’m good at exercising and I’m stupid.
If he wasn’t an NBA player making millions I think he’d work hard, join the nba, and make millions of dollars, considering that’s what he did the first time
Thankfully, he is an NBA player making millions. This is all entertainment. He’s entertaining. It’s not any deeper than that.
Disagree, the league needs heels. I loathe him, but his teams are always improved by him being on them. Good for him.
it always “improves the team” until he says something like “I poke bears” and “he’s old” then gets his ass cooked and avoids the media lol.
He was strictly a positive for us last year.
The fact that several teams felt better off without him, one of them publicly, doesn’t support your point.
One team publicly said they felt better off without him and have yet to be as good as they were with him and the other one had an opportunity to trade for one of the best scorers in the league and have spoken nothing but positive things about him since he left but alright
Terrible take. It’s sports, people talk shit
Soft ass take fr lol
Literally not a single player in any professional sport would agree with them. Professional athletes are psychopaths and you have to be to get to that level
Dudes out here losing their minds because Dillon Brooks said Bron is on IG a lot. Shit is hilarious
I disagree. Notice that DB always keeps things strictly about basketball. He doesn’t attack anyone’s character, family, or personal life. He keeps his trash talk all hoops. Can’t be mad at that.
He called bron a social media junkie. Not a crazy insult by any means, but also not strictly basketball related.
Talking shit =/= asshole culture
Soft. You would’ve hated the 80s and 90s
As much as some of the kids here love Chuck, they would have HATED him back in the day. Dude was a damn menace.
He’s talking very mild shit here, it’s ok
Except he runs from the media and the spotlight every time he loses. You can’t be a “true” pest if you vanish every time you encounter adversity, at that point you’re just a front running pussy
I don’t understand that part. Him doubling down and owning it would be respectable gamer move.
I completely agree lol. I want to like Dillon, but its obvious he ain’t really built like that
Exactly, people seem to brush over what’s a very clear pattern, dude wants to be seen a tough guy but it’s actually extremely soft, old LeBron got the best of him and dude simply vanished, twice now. Total clown.
Everybody acting tough when they up.
Not a true pest. He ain’t won a goddamn thing. A True pest is Dennis Rodman, Rasheed Wallace, and <gasp> Draymond Green. This character is trifling.
Just ask Coach K!
Brooks went to U of Oregon?
“You’re too good of a player to do that,” Krzyzewski said.
“I’m sorry, Coach,” Brooks said.
“You’re too good of a player,” Krzyzewski said.
On Friday, Brooks said he didn’t feel like he did anything wrong, but he expressed remorse for publicizing the details of the exchange.
“Me and Coach K, that conversation should have stayed with us,” Brooks said. “But overall, me and Coach K are both professionals, and I have to move on from this situation and focus on Oklahoma.”
Altman addressed the controversy with reporters earlier Friday, as well.
“At the end of the game, there was a difference in the shot clock and the game clock,” Altman said. “I told Dillon to shoot it. So if anybody’s got a problem with it, it should be directed at me.”
Krzyzewski ended his statement by saying he had the “utmost respect” for Oregon’s program.
“I sincerely hope I did not create a distraction for Coach Altman and his team at this critical time of year,” Krzyzewski said. “Certainly, I have the utmost respect for the Oregon program and their tremendous accomplishments.”
I’m good with it. You take the bad with the good, and good has vastly outweighed the bad for us this year.
So far. He’s gotta cash these checks in the playoffs.
be real here even if the suns get swept round 1 it be a successful season for them. Just making the playoffs is big step in the right direction.
*if they make the playoffs.
At this rate they will be playing the dubs in the play in….
That ain’t an insult. We were looking like a 12th seed this summer. I’ll take 7th all day
Yeah, y’all got left for roadkill last season. It’s nice to see that you’re coming back.
Which was basically our high bar expectaion since the beginning of the season. So, that will be an overall success.
Most likely against the Lakers.
Don’t you find it a bit rich that he only talks like this after a win, or when he’s a ways removed from any lakers game or contact with LeBron? He’s a front running pussy and as soon as he loses he’s nowhere to be seen. Wouldn’t even talk to the media after the last game lol
The Suns just lost to the Lakers so he’s talking like this after a loss.
He didn’t actually talk after the loss, completely bailed out the post game interviews. This is just him being obsessed with LeBron and trying to stay relevant.
Fucking hated him on Memphis because of this.
Yeah and if you take the good and take the bad and take them both and then you have the facts of life.
I think it hurts the team often. He plays really well and they need him on the floor. His antics don’t help with that.
And here we were thinking how the next five years belong to Pat Bev, then this dude comes and just rips it right outta his jaws
Theres levels to this shit lmao bless this man
Yep you know the old cliché: “snatching the next five years from the jaws of Pat Bev”
Embrace it my friend. That’s a Canadian dog right there.
An eh hole, eh?
He is the basketball Brad Marchand. I wouldnt be surprised if he had some bluenoser in his ancestry.
Lol I just googled it and he is a Nova Scotian by descent. God, we are majestic bastards
The same thing that makes him so good will also bring his team down. Draymond Jr.
it’s lovely and i miss it so much
oh NOW he wants to talk to the media lmaoo
I love the Dillon brooks antics but it gets corny when he runs from the media after losses. It’s easy to be the big bad guy when you’re winning lol
“Everybody actin tough when they up” or something like that
something like that…
Thats cold of you to go straight to them losing Devin Booker’s father just cuz of Nico’s dumbass.
It doesn’t “get” corny, it IS corny because he has consistently shown he’s a front running pussy. Everybody talks big when they’re up, but this dude runs from the lights when he loses. It’s the perfect example of bravado
The toughest guys I ever met were the dudes that fought even though they knew they couldn’t win, the biggest pussies I ever me were the ones that fought only when they knew they could win. Guess who won when they met.
Dillon Brooks has definitely brought a dog mentality to the suns and they are benefiting from it, but with Brooks sometimes that dog is one of those little yappy ones barking through the fence
Yeah, why doesn’t he just talk shit even in losses? That would make him 10 times more funny than he already is lol
Can’t say I’m a Brooks fan but I find his antics very fun. I just can’t respect front running like that tho
I’d honestly love him as a heel if wasn’t such a coward when he loses. It just ruins any effect that he’s going for when he runs away whenever he gets embarrassed.
I respect talking shit even when you’re down/lose, but talking shit and not owning up to it is so soft.
If he was like “I talk shit. That’s who I am. I use it at motivation and I know it gets into the heads of the guys I play. Sometimes though, it doesn’t work and that’s fine. That happened this series. I’ll keep playing my game and running my mouth and they can either shut me up or we win. Simple as that”
I could get some version of that shit. Own it, recognize you got beat and be like fuck it it’s who I am I can’t change that.
Instead he’s chirp chirp chirp chirp until the loss and all of a sudden can’t be found.
Charmin Super Soft
It’s something you have to give Draymond respect for. He takes his Ls even when he’s kicking and screaming. He was one of the few Warriors who afterward was shaking guys hands after Game 7
SAWFT
I love how he plays hard and I don’t even hate the antics on the court bc I would love a guy like that on my team but this is my biggest gripe with him. He’s a front runner.
you can pinpoint exactly what someone thinks of themselves by what they use to put other people down
Dillon brooks 1000% gets into his feelings
He’s such a pussy. This is the difference between trash talk and just being an asshole, he can’t stand getting called out. Fucking hypocritical loser behavior.
Same guy who avoided media when the Lakers eliminated the Grizzlies btw
honestly that one thing ruined the intimidation factor he was going for. if he just owned it when they lost then i think a lot of us wouldn’t be trashing him rn. cuz on the surface, you do want a guy whos gonna play hard/gritty defense and try to get into the opposing stars’ heads. but when that same guy is a lil bitch when he loses it kinda ruins the whole thing lol. as much as ppl hate draymond, he will hop on post game press and talk about shit. he might be immature about it, but he doesn’t hide from losses. and for that reason i think he still intimidates other players.
Yeah he was praising Julius Randle heaps after the wolves series and talking about how he just straight up could not guard him. Draymond talks a crazy amount of trash but he’ll admit it when he gets punked
He congratulated everyone on the Cavs on the court after the 3-1 choke while Steph and Klay walked back to the locker room. Can say a lot of things about Draymond, but he takes his losses. By the way, that’s not me hating on Steph and Klay, Steph’s my favorite player ever, but everyone takes tough losses differently
That shit ruined him forever to me and cemented that he’s not even an actor but just a character. So lame. So childish. So pitiful. For him to go back to trying to spark up shit with LeBron, now basically on his retirement tour, is saddening.
He’s the dog that barks up a storm but then pisses when confronted
as much as ppl hate draymond, he will hop on post game press and talk about shit
Shit right after the Lakers series, he hopped on his podcast talking about this being the first non-Finals loss for him/Warriors since 2014! It was actually very cool.
He’s not intimidating. Just loud. A deeply unserious person.
exactly!!! more people need to talk about this! I was all for it until he hid from the media after they got eliminated. it ruined everything for me after that
Exactly, all his tough guy act goes out the window when he’s crying and ducking media after he loses.
He’s charmin ultra soft
He’s fuckin’ 10-ply, bud.
Needs to give his balls a tug frfr
He avoided it last game too lol. Pretty on brand for his fake tough guy act
Lebron haters will call this wimp a “dog” though
Can confirm, i was a Kobe hater growing up and i called guys like Ruben Patterson, Bruce Bowen and Shane Battier DOGS who owned Kobe even though Kobe 30 pieced them on the regular
Ruben Patterson
Haven’t heard that name in a hot minute
The OG “Kobe Stopper” lol
For reference: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/y3m41tK_Eq8
Literally avoided it 3 days ago when they lost the game he’s talking about lol
That ass whooping in game 6 ended this feud in favor of Lebron forever btw
They didn’t just eliminate them. They whooped that trick and broke the Grizzlies Dynasty before it even started.
I poke bears…but a microphone has me ducking for cover
Found memories of going to those games. Crypto was booing him during warm ups. Glorious.
Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain’t callin’
This dude is just Patrick Beverly to me, although I hope he has a more promising future
Brooks is already a way better player than bev ever was.
That’s the worst part of this, he’s way better than bev ever achieved and still tries to maintain this behavior
lol he’s acting like lebron is the one that’s obsessed with him
Where is that gif where one guy says: “I hate you” and the other one casually replies: “I don’t think about you at all”
I think you have it slightly wrong, as that’s a famous scene from Mad Men. The younger guy tells Don “I feel sorry for you,” or maybe it was “I pity you,” and Don replies “I don’t think about you at all.”
The show is amazing; definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it!
Funny part about that scene is that Don was lying. He spent the entire episode thinking about him.
Also similar to Endgame, when Wanda says “you took everything from me” and Thanos responds with “I don’t even know who you are.”
Too bad he didn’t say this after the game in the post game, definitely would have had more impact.
I like to imagine he was up all night trying to craft the perfect response
The jerk store called, and they’re running out of you!
That’s good. Writing up a script lol
Asking ChatGPT for sick comebacks 🤣
This guy wanna be lance stephenson so bad
That’s how long lebron been in the league, he’s been through like 5 generations of pest players. Brooks might not even be the last.
Lmaoo
Real ones remember DeShawn Stevenson
Only John Cena hit the U Can’t C Me more than DeShawn.
Over under on Brooks retiring first?
Like Lance, the funny thing is that I feel like he would 100% play with LeBron at some point if Bron had another 5 years left in the league
LeBron likely won’t be around for the Dillon Brooks vet minimum arc unfortunately
He already did play with bron in 2018
Like Lance, meaning Brooks playing with Lebron like Lance did.
Dillon Brooks might not be around for that either.
Coincidentally, after Lance, Pat Bev also went on this route, going so far as to borrow a camera just to defend Bron. Die a hater or live long enough to become his lover
He did lmao
This guy wanna be lance stephenson DeShawn Stevenson so bad
Those of us that have read the ancient texts still remember the Soulja Boy and Jay Z “beef” while my Wizards got sonned by Lebron early in his career.
Stephenson blowing in Lebron’s ear remains the funniest clip in sports history for me
What’s even funnier was someone randomly approached him at a club somewhat recently to blow in his ear. Lance was like wtf and that fan simply said “now you know how it feels” lmao
Imagine that being your life’s goal
You know when you’re in the shower and you think of that perfect comeback to an argument you had 3 days earlier? Except it isn’t perfect either.
Laughed when I realized this was from today and not the day of the game .
Did he even go to the media room after that game?
I’d actually love this guy if he wasn’t such a puss when he loses. If you’re gonna be Dillon the villain dont fuck around with it. You cant be the instigator only when you’re on top
When has Dillon Brooks been on top of anything
Pac-12 Player of the Year and won the conference as Oregon. Won the Midwest Regional.
NBA wise not really though but he was a beast of a college player
Exactly. I actually like his playstyle and on court shenanigans but he only talks big shit when he’s winning or already won. As soon as he is on the losing side suddenly he has no comment and doesn’t want to talk to the media or talk more shit. The best villains have no change in energy after a loss
Yeah I just don’t get how people like his antics lol. Was him shoving this cameraman (injuring him btw) one of the antics you liked? The dude fucking sucks
Why does Brooks always look like he’s got a cold and hasn’t showered in days?
He’s the neighbors kid that you get forced by your parents to play with
He looks like he got the suds
That’s just how Canadians look during winter
Ugliest dude in the league
Bitching about Lebron but then avoid media after getting tossed in the Playoffs by the Lakers when he played on the Grizzlies. At least when Draymond gets his proverbial “Shit kicked in” he owns it.
Kobe would be calling you soft as fuck right now Dillion.
Soft!
Preach 🙏
After 10 days after the game now he’s talking
He’s talking how lebrons the obsessed one 😭
was buffering
Hey Jamie, pull up that 8 minute montage of LeBron buzzer beaters please
This dude wants to be a villain so bad lmao
But in reality he’s soft, dont forget him hiding from the media after trying to pull some shit and getting clowned
He badly wants to be in LeBron’s documentaries 😅
Bron haters love this guy lol
God this guy is annoying
should have said this in the post game after he lost, no impact if you run from media every time you lose. dudes a loser
The way Lebron lives rent free in this guys head is fascinating
He has a crush
Dillon Brooks: “I feel bad for you.”
LeBron:”I don’t think about you at all”
For me, it was Tuesday
When he retires Brooks will say he chased LeBron out of the league
Oh boy I’ve been waiting for embarassing brooks to show up
Social media is not gonna make me think he’s playing a little villain role and that its good for the league. This guy is genuinely a dirty player and an asshole. Sure I don’t mind someone who’s talking trash and hyping the team up but when you try to do something like re-injure curry on purpose that’s just some weird ass shit people would defend just cause he’s an nba player.
Also if you’re gonna act tough, than keep speaking your shit after a loss🤦♂️
He didn’t have much to say after his ass got busted in the playoffs with Memphis. All talk with the occasional decent play.
This guy called himself the villain and then cried and refused to talk to media because he claimed they paint him to be the villain. He needs help lol
This guy really seems to be a jerk.
Bro waited days!!
If Brooks didn’t duck the media after he fucks up I’d respect it. He did it after Memphis got sent home, and did it after he cost them the game the other night. Soft shit.
Hmmm, so you talk to the media now…
Dillon brooks is to lebron what raja bell was to kobe
More like what Smush Parker was to Kobe
He’s the Lebron hater final boss. No one can hate at the levels this clown can. It was a fun little NBA drama but now it’s just a bit sad.
Lebron won’t be able to hurt you much longer, Dillon. You’re almost safe. The f*ckery will end soon. 1-2 years
This kid obsessed with LeBron.
who pissed in his Cheerios?
Mf skipped the media after the loss. Loves to bitch about everything but he’s a bigger bitch
All I know is dude has won a single playoff series in whole career. Famously has crashed out in the playoffs too. Has ZERO evidence of being a “winner”. Yet so many act like he’s worth it despite being an idiot. He’s the epitome of all talk no bite.
This man is hilarious. Once you realize that he’s just a massive ragebaiting troll and not some weird psycho it’s pretty entertaining.
Nah fuck that
This dude broke Gary Payton’s arm in a playoff game on an extremely dirty play. He’s a piece of shit.
Was he just ragebaiting the cameraman that he shoved over and injured
It’s supposed to be fun but it’s less interesting to me because there’s not much history why it started. Brooks just started doing his schtick and kept doubling down because it’s LeBron.
Still don’t care for him. I do think his “dawg” attitude is needed for this suns team but he is also a front runner which doesn’t help.
Imagine losing the game the continuing to talk about the dude you stalking at the press conference 🙈
Dillon who?
Idc its refreshing to have a player in the league that gives no fucks and talks shit even if the shit he says is ridiculous
Sadly he does give a fuck though since he hasn’t talked to reporters multiple times after losses.
You must love Charles Barkley then
Absolutely.
But Barkley was an all time great basketball player so he can talk whatever shit he wants not really a comparison for Brooks
I don’t really care for Brooks but it is entertaining.
Rent free
I think bro just wants to be in the LeDocumentary so bad.
“Look kids, I pissed off LeBron”
He would come of as way more legit if he wasn’t such a pussy who hides from the media when they aren’t winning
Idc. It’s legit fun to have a player openly shit talk someone like Lebron. Everyone loves a good villain. If you look at this as Sports Entertainment like it’s WWE or some shit and Brooks is 08 Jericho then you stop taking things seriously
Yall are trying too hard. You know he’s trolling right?
Brooks is becoming a parody of himself.
He just wants to be in the Netflix documentary when Lebron retire.
This dude craves attention more than a 12 year old girl
I’m starting to get stalker vibes here.
Let us not forget that this dude has a -5.1 VORP, which is the worst for any active player…
I don’t see him yapping when he loses like a little bitch tho.
Please brooks, i love the energy you bring and the antics but you gotta double down and bring this postgame energy after the game win or lose man
