Dillon Brooks Rekindles Feud with LeBron James

In the NBA spotlight once more, Dillon Brooks, the former Memphis Grizzlies star who now suits up for the Rockets, has reignited his intense rivalry with LeBron James and the Lakers.

The History of a Fiery Feud

Throughout the previous season, Brooks engaged in a heated feud with some of the NBA's biggest names, none more notably than LeBron James. The Lakers ultimately emerged victorious in their playoff encounter, defeating the Grizzlies in six games.


A New Leaf or Old Flames?

Despite the Grizzlies' early playoff exit and Brooks' departure from Memphis, there were signs of a transformed player during the FIBA World Cup. Yet, as the saying goes, old habits die hard. Brooks has sent a direct message to LeBron James in anticipation of their upcoming showdown.

Brooks' Bold Challenge


"I'm fully prepared to take on LeBron," Brooks boldly proclaimed. "He's been in peak form, playing at his very best. My aim is to wear him out and push him into foul trouble early."

As LeBron James, who will celebrate his 39th birthday on December 30th, continues to shine with an average of 25.3 points per game in his remarkable 21st season, Dillon Brooks is enjoying a strong start to the season. He is achieving career highs in rebounds (4.7) and steals (1.3) in the first six games.
