Dillon Brooks and Lebron James are full on enemies on the court but looks like the Phoenix Suns forward is taking it outside of it as he did not mince his words in describing the shenanigan pulled off by the Los Angeles Lakers star a week ago.
James put the whole NBA community on chokehold seven days ago when he released a video teaser about a specific announcement, calling it “Decision”, alluding to the one he made more than a decade ago when decided to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat, form a Big 3, and become a voice of player empowerment forever.
Turned out, it was just an ad for an for an alcoholic brand. Many people saw it from a mile away. That it was not anything serious. However, there are also those who thought he’s going to retire and so, they needed to make panic buying and avail tickets for his last home game. That person felt he was deceived.
Others just let it go. Brooks just can’t let it go though and he has to say some words about that stunt by the four-time NBA champion.
“We are now in the era that LeBron James is not relevant anymore. He has to create drama just to stay in the spotlight,” Brooks said in an interview with Hoops.
The Suns forward never pull his punches when it comes to James ever since he rose into a good defender. It started when he was still with the Memphis Grizzlies and then carried over to the Houston Rockets.
Dillon Brooks on former foe turned teammate
James will continue to be a rival for Brooks. There’s one guy though that is probably happy now that he is on the same side with the Canadian player.
Devin Booker had battles, too, with Brooks. They even got into heated verbal argument at one point when the latter was still with the Grizzlies.
Their relationship is about to change as they are teammates now and Brooks said D-Book has been very welcoming.
“It’s been easy. My first call when I got traded was to Book, tryna get acquainted,” he told reporters.
“He’s been like a big brother to me, taking me under his wing. Being able to play besides him and not be able to guard him, [Book smiles], is better for me.”
