LeBron James relentlessly trolled by Dillon Brooks in renewed feud: ‘I don’t bow down’
NY Post
Dillon Brooks found himself in a familiar place Monday night — right underneath LeBron James’ skin.
The Phoenix Suns star — who’s made a habit of annoying James in recent years — cruised into Crypto.com Arena for a matchup with the Lakers, and he spent a large portion of the evening torching L.A. and trolling the face of its franchise.
Brooks trash-talked the NBA’s all-time leading scorer throughout the Suns’ 125-108 win, and at one point he appeared to mock one of the Lakers superstar’s famous celebrations.
Just after he blew by James and scored a transition dunk late in the second quarter, Brooks stared at James and exaggeratedly shrugged his shoulders twice.
Fans in the arena were quick to note how familiar the move looked, and sent jeers toward Phoenix’s forward.
Brooks finished the night with a team-high 33 points, and after the final whistle blew on the Suns’ 17-point victory over Los Angeles, he hurled a few more verbal barbs at James.
