Luruent: Dillon Brooks had a WILD response when N3on asked about LeBron joining the 76ers. 👀🏀 "He's trying everything he can to get another ring and get more footage for his Last Dance documentary."
NBA Courtside: Dillon Brooks says he would want to Box Jimmy Butler 👀 “Jimmy Butler. It’s all about basketball for sure. But I feel like some things went to far. I always feel the animosity”
NBA Courtside: Dillon Brooks says Russell Westbrook play style is hard to coach: “His play style is so different. It’s hard to coach. He needs the ball. He has to have the ball in his hands”
Heat Central: Dillon Brooks with high praise for Giannis Antetokounmpo: “There’s nothing you can hate about Giannis. The media always tries to find things to hate on him, or discredit him, you can’t. He’s had a crazy story, good person, freak of nature, and he’s really good at the game and what he does.”

Dillon Brooks on the viral meme of him laughing at LeBron James from the stands: What’s funny is I got a ticket [for the game] from Rich Paul…. It’s a good meme. He was talking to a LA fan, he was like ‘I know you throwing shade at me. I know, I know.’ So I’m looking at him like ‘oh my god he’s really worried about this fan right here? You’re down 3-0 now.’ I’m just cracking up. I’m telling my agent on the side ‘damn he’s really focused on the wrong sh*t right now.’
I asked Brooks afterward what we need to understand about Morant, what should we know about him? He said we should understand he is an amazing teammate, one who organizes team dinners and looks after young players. And Brooks said Portland will fall in love with him, not only because he is an electric player, but also because he pours out what is poured in. “I would say treat him as he was your son, your brother, your uncle or family,” Brooks said. “Because you will get a lot more back from him.” Morant already seems open to an extended embrace with Portland and Oregon. He talked Saturday about his newfound love of nature. In his home state of South Carolina this summer, he has been biking, kayaking and fishing.
Josh Lewenberg: The starters are done for the night, with Canada up big. SGA: 26 points in 27 minutes, 4 assists, 2 steals/2 blocks, 9-14 FG, 7-8 FT Nembhard: 23 points in 27 minutes, 4 assists, 9-11 FG, 5-7 3P Brooks: 15 points in 22 minutes, 7-12 FG
Josh Lewenberg: The Canadian co-captains, SGA & Brooks, have been great but Andrew Nembhard's been the best player on the floor tonight. 23 pts in 22 mins, 9-11 FG, 5-7 3P (including a nasty step-back just now). Told us the other day he was itching to play after an early start to his offseason.

Dillon Brooks: "My villain goal would probably be not to get 17 technical fouls in a season. We'll see if I can save them for the end. At least half of them are earned. Some of them are by the same refs, and some of them I don't need to get. Costs me some wins. So, you know, it's the energy that we live by, so some of them are called for."
Dillon Brooks: "There would always be like a little stretch where they got to clean the gym. So, all the senior guys would try to find all the junior guys and just try to beat them up. I remember like at the end of school I'd be trying to find a place in this school just to chill and wait till these guys go to practice so I can just wait until my practice starts. But there was a couple days where they end up finding me, beating me up, stomping me, all kinds, you know, toughening me up for sure. And it gave me that, that little edge that I needed."
Josh Lewenberg: Dillon Brooks on guarding SGA in the 1st round of the playoffs: "I wanted to tackle him." 😂 "I think he's very unrattled and that's why he's the captain of our team. Super composed, knows the game."
