In a fiercely contested playoff series between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, tensions ran high, particularly between Dillon Brooks and LeBron James.
Brooks, tasked with guarding the Lakers’ superstar, engaged in relentless trash talk throughout the series. Ultimately, the Purple and Gold emerged victorious, but Brooks believes he left his mark.
“I felt like I always had him,” Brooks told Arash Madani of Sportsnet, referring to his defensive efforts against James. “I feel like that series was thrown upon me because of the words that I say. But I’ve been saying things all year, and we won 50 games.”
