WATCH: Dillon Brooks disrespects another Team USA player by walking through Anthony Edwards intervie
Houston Rockets guard Dillon Brooks‘ negative image has grown stupendously over the years. Brooks, being a target for many guards and forwards in the NBA, has earned more than just rivalries through his trash talking. In the USA-Canada matchup, Brooks was seen intentionally matching up against LeBron James on the court.
Brooks’ disrespectful gestures on and off the court in both NBA and international games surface every time he plays. With NBA stars disliking these antics, it’s clear they share a mutual disdain for the former Grizzlies guard. During the exhibition game against Team USA, Dillon Brooks, playing for Team Canada, disrespectfully walked past Team USA players during interviews.
Earlier, Brooks was seen walking by the cameras during Devin Booker’s interview, and the same happened with Anthony Edwards. Edwards’ odd reaction to Brooks passing by instantly went viral, reigniting discussions about Brooks’ trash talking and dirty play.
Even though Brooks is a crucial defensive asset for his teams, his trash talk and negative reputation follow him everywhere. With legends like LeBron James viewing Brooks as a rival, the USA-Canada matchup will be fierce if it happens.
