This dude Dillon Brooks, man … (LOL)
I don’t know what happened during small forward Dillon Brooks‘ transition from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Houston Rockets, but the dude has definitely ratcheted up his “villain” persona.
And that was on full display during Monday night’s game between the Rockets and LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers.

In the fourth quarter, Houston was absolutely hammering the Lake Show, and Brooks ended up adding more fuel to LA’s misery by scoring on “The King” with a nice little fadeaway bank shot. But that wasn’t all … jogging back on defense, Brooks decided to stare down LeBron and did a little chirpin’ his way as well.

And then things got a bit more interesting. Brooks chopped the hell out of LeBron, an act that ended up landing “The Villain” with a Flagrant 1 foul.

This whole situation makes sense.

After all, Brooks’ name is “The Villain.” If he would have just hit a shot on LeBron and stared/chirped at him, and the game was in Houston (that has to be noted), he would just be an H-Town hero. He had to spice things up with a nice karate chop on the face of the NBA. (RELATED: New Orleans Pelicans Put Up A Franchise-Record 153 Points Against Utah Jazz)
