The clash between LeBron James and Dillon Brooks always brings some great moments. During the 2022-23 season, Dillon Brooks played for the Memphis Grizzlies, when the team lost to the Lakers in the playoffs.
Dillon Brooks' behavior of provoking LeBron James in the playoffs also made him a playoff joke. At that time, he ridiculed LeBron James for being too old, and LeBron James couldn't score 40 points under his own defense, so he wouldn't recognize LeBron James.
After heading into the 2023-24 season, Dillon Brooks joined the Houston Rockets and helped the team get better. When Dillon Brooks meets LeBron James again, it can be said that the old and new hatreds are counted together.
In the fourth quarter, when the Los Angeles Lakers led by LeBron James trailed the Rockets by 13 points, Dillon Brooks and LeBron James maliciously hit LeBron James's face with their hands when they were competing for rebounds, which also caused a lot of controversy.
LeBron James also fell to the ground after being beaten. Then, lying face down on the ground, covering his face tightly. At the same time, the camera showed that Dillon Brooks didn't care about hitting LeBron James and immediately left the scene of the crime.
After LeBron James got up from the ground, he appealed to the referee with the support of Darwin Ham. LeBron James reportedly said to the referee "He hit me in the nose!" ”
Unfortunately, the referees didn't punish Dillon Brooks severely. And the Los Angeles Lakers didn't complete the comeback. The Lakers finally lost to the Rockets with a score of 119-135. In this game, LeBron James had 23 points and 10 assists. Dillon Brooks had 17 points.
Dillon Brooks clashed with two Lakers players in a game. The first was Jarred Vanderbilt, where Dillon Brooks was insulting and pushed the other in later matches. After Jared Vanderbilt fired back, he was also ejected directly.
As for LeBron James, as the oldest player in the league, many players on every team want to get a lot of attention by having some conflicts and contradictions with LeBron James. After all, Stewart of the Detroit Pistons also opened his own company for this.
If there is no conflict with LeBron James and attract the attention of the outside world, they are almost all unknown players, and the outside world will not notice them. However, Dillon Brooks' performance this season is still very good.
