Dillon Brooks does not care about anything that comes out of his mouth, and he further proved that when he spoke on LeBron after Game 2.
The Memphis Grizzlies forward had a lot to say about his matchup with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James on Wednesday following the Grizzlies’ 103-92 game two win, evening their playoff series at a game apiece.
Dillon Brooks got into it briefly with LeBron James on Wednesday night, and he’s not thinking twice about it.
The reason why?
“I don’t care, he’s old,” he said.
“I was expecting him to do that in game four, game five. He wanted to say something when I got my fourth foul. He should have said that earlier on.
“I poke bears. I don’t respect no one until they come and give me 40 [points].”
Brooks and the Memphis Grizzlies pulled out a 103-93 win over James and the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of their opening-round playoff series on Wednesday. That tied the series up 1-1 before the series shifts to Los Angeles.

In the game, Brooks and James were chirping at each other in the second half of the game. Brooks shoved James briefly in the third quarter and then started celebrating in his face as a timeout was called.
Brooks finished with 12 points in the win, and shot 5-of-14 from the field. Xavier Tillman led the Grizzlies with 22 points and 13 rebounds as the series now heads back to Los Angeles.
James, on the other hand, dropped a game-high 28 points and had 12 rebounds for the Lakers.
The back and forth between them is likely to only get even more intense as the games go on. It makes for more compelling basketball.
