This Dillon Brooks guy… (lol)
I don't know what happened when I was a small forward. Dillon BrooksAfter moving from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Houston Rockets, this guy is definitely becoming more and more of a “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 completely outplayed Lakeshaw, and Brooks ended up making a great failaway bank shot on “The King” to add fuel to L.A.'s misery. But that wasn't all…jogging back to the defense, Brooks decided to stare at LeBron and let out a little squeal of his own.

And things got a little more interesting when Brooks thoroughly cut LeBron down and ended up scoring the “villain” with a flagrant 1 foul.

This whole situation makes sense.
After all, Brooks' name is “Villain.” If he had taken a shot at LeBron and looked at him or squealed, and the game had been in Houston (which has to be noted), he would have just become an H-Town hero. He had to spice things up with a nice karate chop to the NBA's face. (Related article: New Orleans Pelicans score 153 points in franchise game against Utah Jazz)
This guy is really a villain.
