Ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers’ contest against the Houston Rockets on Sunday, Dillon Brooks was at it again.
As a member of the Memphis Grizzlies last season, he called LeBron James “old” after the Grizzlies tied their first-round playoff series against the Lakers with a Game 2 win. In the following game, he hit James below the belt and was ejected as a result.
The forward said he was ready to lock up the NBA’s all-time leading scorer before Houston blew out James’ squad nearly two weeks ago. Now, he has dug in on his comment from last spring (h/t Lakers Daily).
Via Fox Sports:
“No, I still feel the same way,” Brooks told Fox Sports on Friday.
Brooks is off to a good start this season, shooting 53.6% from the field and 50.0% from 3-point range. The Rockets had a six-game winning streak until Friday when the Los Angeles Clippers stunned them by handing them a 106-100 loss.
The Lakers could really use a win on Sunday in order to start building some real momentum after a poor start to the season.
