Dillon Brooks has made it known that he is not one to bow down to Lebron James. He is here to annoy the Los Angeles Lakers star.Looks like it was King James who got to him on Sunday as he was the one who was at the wrong end of a pivotal moment when his Phoenix Suns hosted the Lakers.
The Suns lost to their visitors by just two points, on free throws, after almost stealing it from being down above 20 points at one point.
Brooks could have won that game with his lead-stealing three point shot with under 13 seconds left in the game. He made it despite the challenge James provided.
He should have gotten back on the defense but he had to get to James’ face after the shot, leading to a small commotion.
YOU CAN’T SCRIPT THIS ANY BETTER.

It’s unknown what happened but Brooks appeared to be going about his way but there’s something that triggered him to confront Lebron. He was ejected eventually.
James missed the technical free throw but the Suns fouled him during a three point shot. He made 2 out of 3 and then Marcus Smart was awarded two more, made one, to seal to the 116-114 victory for themselves.
Lebron James addresses Dillon Brooks antics
It was the second dust up between the two in that game. They also had moments when they played early this month.
The pair figured in a shouting match in the third quarter with LBJ the one coming after Brooks. They both got a technical foul for it.
LeBron James somehow didn’t get ejected for pushing and grabbing the ref while Dillon Brooks got tossed for chest bumping Bron 🧐

Talking post-game, the four-time MVP said his moments with the Suns defender was just their competitive juices coming out. He also said he is not about crossing the line.
“He’s going to compete. I’m going to compete. We’re going to get up in each other’s face,” he said.
“Tried not to go borderline with it. I don’t really take it there. But we just competed. And did that almost all the way to the end of the game.”
This Lakers win is a revenge for the loss their suffered against the Suns last December 1.
