Lakers Star LeBron James Strikes Back With NSFW Response To Dillon Brooks

Dillon Brooks loves to step on LeBron James’ nerves, but his attitude could take things in the wrong direction. Teasing LeBron is never a good idea and the four-time NBA champion will probably find a way to teach young Brooks a lesson.

LeBron and Brooks got into a thing in Game 2 of the series. Brooks is a bully and his trash talk seems to be his strongest weapon. Fun fact? Brooks believes he can intimidate LeBron just because the Lakers superstar is a bit older than him. Wrong move.

“I don’t care — he’s old. You know what I mean?” Brooks said. “I was waiting for that. I was expecting him to do that Game 4, Game 5. He wanted to say something when I got my fourth foul. He should have been saying that earlier on. But I poke bears. I don’t respect no one until they come and give me 40.

This was probably the biggest topic on Friday. Reporters kept asking LeBron about Brooks.

As you may be guessing, LeBron doesn’t even think of reacting to Brooks’ provocation.

“No, the game is won in between the four lines,” the king of basketball said. “Always has. Always will be.”

LeBron didn’t like the questions he got during his media availability and his message was loud and clear.

Dillon Brooks has already trashed LeBron

Brooks trashed LeBron before and it seems like he really enjoys this game.

“He’s not at the same level that he was when he was on Cleveland winning championships, Miami,” Brooks said. “I wish I got to see that. It would have been a harder task, but I’m playing with what I’ve got. Just wear and tear on him throughout a seven-game series and see if he can take it. See if he wants to play the one-on-one battle or if he wants to be out on the sidelines shooting the basketball.”

Magic Johnson said the Lakers were soft in Game 2 and they better use the home-court advantage and win the next two games.

“Tomorrow is going to be a great game,” James said before walking away. “I’m not here for the bulls**t. I’m ready to play, and that’s it.”
