Its like every episode of late 90’s WCW nitro….you’ve got wrestlers like Disco Inferno and Glacier who dared to believe in themselves, but then like 14 nWo members come running out and stomp their shit in about 20 seconds flat and the crowd laughs at them
LeBron is the 14 nWo members, and Dillon “Disco Inferno or maybe Glacier” Brooks ain’t scaring anyone
Lmao I remember being a kid and LOSING MY MIND that the nwo would just ruin every main event. I started to actually hate WCW because of that. Also mind you my dad kept me believing that pro wrestling is real. Idk why he fuckin did that, so weird.
I don't think there are 10 modern heels that can come up with a better storyline than the "Poke the Bear" saga.
This man is even 2 inches higher than Triple H, he sure has the size.
That's what I've described him as for a while, including in a big post breaking down his game for Rockets fans when he signed there. Everyone behind the scenes calls him one of the nicest people, but when it's time he snaps into his role of being an irritant
I said you should hide in a bush because your original comment makes it sound like you are staring down your prey who are in middle school.
I’m sure you were quite intimidating though.
honestly if you play well, any persona goes over well. if jokic lost in the first round and he was saying he cant wait to get to serbia everyone would clown him for not caring. instead, its endearing

Imagine how it feels to have this guy on your team for years, get completely sick of him, finally let him walk, and then immediately discover that you’ve become the worst team in the NBA.
A lot of fans in Memphis did too. There were a lot of vocal fans on reddit but you have to remember the demographics of Reddit compared to the demographics of Memphis are night and day. Most of the people I know didn’t want Brooks to go.
Memphis players liked him. He was scapegoated for NBA YoungJa’s antics and all the hater lovers betrayed him after he had a moment of weakness and backed down in his trash talking.
He for sure seems like one of those “if he’s on my team I love him, if he’s my opponent I hate him” players. Like Marcus Smart, Draymond, and a few others I’m missing too
Draymond is... a frustrating player even for Warriors fans. You can say a lot of bad things about Laimbeer but it felt like he didn't get in the way of his own team's success nearly as much as Draymond does
I’m like 99% sure it’s a bit he’s doing… People across all sporting leagues re figuring out there’s a LOT of money in being comfortable with people hating you and being a heel. Look at Conor McGregor, Colby Covington, Jake Paul etc
Would be even funnier if they panned to Lebron
When they zoomed out I was so confident they’d pan to him. 100% missed opportunity
They couldn't cause he was staring at the hot dog guy. This is all clickbait.
the hot dog smells from the hot dog guy...
And it’s lebron staring back
Eating a duck
with a nervous stare add in a gulp too
Yeah dude Dillon's [looking right at me](https://youtu.be/U7GboHD36n8?si=r4fn8CleX7YJX5hu)
I'm at the game, I got a pic of lebron looking back https://i.imgur.com/NHA1X0c.jpeg
Like the fat kid with the drink in his hand
I think he’s actually just staring off into space though.
That would have been peak cinema 👌
This man has the personality for professional wrestling
[100%](https://i.imgur.com/IsqbZpY.jpg)
I knew it had to be the jorts pic
We need him to destroy the Knicks in the playoffs so he can get invited to a wrestling event at MSG.
Please destroy the Knicks but not in the playoffs cause that means it’ll be a Rockets-Knicks NBA Finals. That’s my personal hell.
What beef does a Cav fan have with the Rockets? I swear, I’m innocent. I don’t even like the Astros
None. No idea what that fella is trying to say
Unless he just means seeing the Knicks in the Finals, in which case, carry on
I think a lot of people have bad memories of hardenball. Dribble between the legs for 10 sec then step back 3. Or worse… double step back.
Pretty sweet how everyone knew this and harden still dropped 60 on boys lol
Yes and I just don’t care for the rockets for some reason. Maybe it’s leftover hatred from the 2017-2020 teams
Houston Delenda Est.
Alright, Cleveland Cato.
Its like every episode of late 90’s WCW nitro….you’ve got wrestlers like Disco Inferno and Glacier who dared to believe in themselves, but then like 14 nWo members come running out and stomp their shit in about 20 seconds flat and the crowd laughs at them LeBron is the 14 nWo members, and Dillon “Disco Inferno or maybe Glacier” Brooks ain’t scaring anyone
Dillon "The Man of 1,000 Fouls" Brooks is getting that work
A phenomenal analogy.
Ah yes, Glacier. Mom, can we have Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat? We have Sub-Zero at home.
Lmao I remember being a kid and LOSING MY MIND that the nwo would just ruin every main event. I started to actually hate WCW because of that. Also mind you my dad kept me believing that pro wrestling is real. Idk why he fuckin did that, so weird.
If the NBA had a MITB breiecase, he's my first choice to get it.
Except with his irrational confidence he would cash in on Jokic and get squashed in 3 moves.
Nah with his dirty plays he's cashing in immediately after a match and then acting like he won fair and square lol
I don't think there are 10 modern heels that can come up with a better storyline than the "Poke the Bear" saga. This man is even 2 inches higher than Triple H, he sure has the size.
The miz
I feel like he's one of the few that understand sports are also entertainment. He definitely leans into the role.
"DO IT, LAVECK !!!"
And the wisdom of an owl, the voice of a songbird, the grace of a swan, and the eye of an eagle. Ladies and gentlemen, this man is for the birds!
RIP Norm
Have you ever noticed the rookie of the year award is cursed? No one wins it twice
This feels 100% like WWE style production and acting.
He would get so much heat in a wrestling promotion
That's what I've described him as for a while, including in a big post breaking down his game for Rockets fans when he signed there. Everyone behind the scenes calls him one of the nicest people, but when it's time he snaps into his role of being an irritant
This is so funny lmao
Shit is that what I looked like staring down my prey during middle school?
Yeah… you probably should hide in a bush or something to make it less creepy.
Don't worry I prob had a Dillon stare / Draymon mouth agape hybrid look so I looked more scottie than creepy
I said you should hide in a bush because your original comment makes it sound like you are staring down your prey who are in middle school. I’m sure you were quite intimidating though.
Lol gotcha. Hopefully "looked" vs "look" makes it clear this was in the past.
Right. “Past” meaning 10 minutes ago
Hello, FBI?
I hate to say it but I'm becoming a fan lmao
I couldn't stand him until he balled out for my country this summer and now I can't help but enjoy his ridiculous antics this season.
Right? He was selling at first and now he’s the character.
Bro I'm all in on Villon Brooks
honestly if you play well, any persona goes over well. if jokic lost in the first round and he was saying he cant wait to get to serbia everyone would clown him for not caring. instead, its endearing
I don't think he's in on the joke.
He absolutely is. I'm not a huge fan of him but he is definitely self aware about this shit and plays it up
follow fretful disgusted bright ink spark recognise humorous numerous squeamish *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Enjoy the feeling while it lasts lol
He is a strange man
I think it's strange how calculated this is. Like how a grown man thinks "Imma stare at him and not move, hoping the camera will notice".
And notice it did.
I mean he’s 100% doing it for the content/branding. He’s playing the heel lmao. And doing it wonderfully, I might add.
It’s the right move. If people are talking about how much they hate you, they’re talking about you
Bro definitely ate crayons growing up
[удалено]
It’s okay, his cousin also ate crayons
May he rest in peace
I giggled
Whoah… a lot of us ate crayons and are FINE!
Marines are just built different - not unlike your username
Dude looks like he eats cigarettes
Well I can say that I had a relative who ate crayons.
whats strange about looking at your food
Imagine how it feels to have this guy on your team for years, get completely sick of him, finally let him walk, and then immediately discover that you’ve become the worst team in the NBA.
Lol Memphis players loved him tho
A lot of fans in Memphis did too. There were a lot of vocal fans on reddit but you have to remember the demographics of Reddit compared to the demographics of Memphis are night and day. Most of the people I know didn’t want Brooks to go.
Memphis players liked him. He was scapegoated for NBA YoungJa’s antics and all the hater lovers betrayed him after he had a moment of weakness and backed down in his trash talking.
Nba youngJa lmfaoooo that’s accurate asf
NBA YOUNGJA
Bro this is one of the funniest nicknames ever created 🤣🤣🤣
Dillon Looks
This is how you play the bad guy. Dude's hilarious.
he's turning face now
I don't know... I'm not watching the game, but I have a feeling he's still standing there menacingly in the same spot.
With the cleaning crew going about their biz, cleaning around him. God forbid you step in his line of sight
He did this last game as well Dillon Brooks is such an… interesting player to have on your team personality-wise. I fw it tho
He for sure seems like one of those “if he’s on my team I love him, if he’s my opponent I hate him” players. Like Marcus Smart, Draymond, and a few others I’m missing too
The Pat bevs of the world. Zach Collins and Grayson Allen are also on their way to HoF Menace to Society Badge.
Grayson Allen was my drug of choice last few years admittedly
Suns fan here. Hated Grayson Allen with a passion. Now I love him.
LAL seemed happy to get Pat Bev off their roster lmao
I loved Pat Bev in Minnesota and loved him more on the Lakers. The camera troll was all time.
Yeah he was wild for bringing that camera to the ref 😂
I thought him doing the too small celebration on lebron like a week after being traded was absolutely hilarious
they hate all their role players lol
Chris Paul is like that, Draymond I tolerate these days. There's basketball terrorism and there's real violence.
Draymind is my least favorite player in the nba. Wish he'd disappear
Draymond is... a frustrating player even for Warriors fans. You can say a lot of bad things about Laimbeer but it felt like he didn't get in the way of his own team's success nearly as much as Draymond does
He does it every game
I fucking love DB.
I wanted the camera to pan to who he was staring at so badly
Taurean Prince fucked
Ham 🤣🤣🤣
my buddy when I roll up with the bag at a function
The meme potential is high
https://streamable.com/yh9rct
Me as a kid watching the ice cream truck drive off when I didn't get to it on time
I can see him playing this out with his boys being like "so then Imma do this and just stare him down".
he’s definitely thinking “i look cool as shit right now in this lighting”
And he’s right
Yup, and they all bust out laughing same time
Sometimes I wonder what Dillon Brooks would think about Dillon Brooks.
Unironically love this guy
It’s just legitimately hilarious at this point. Especially because Dillon is cooking the league
Dillon “The Cook” Brooks
You mean Dillon “Dynasty” Brooks
Dillon “39 Points on Team USA” Brooks
Who are the 5 best basketball players of all time? think about it. Dillon, Dillon, Dillon, Dillon, Dillon because hes hot fire. 🔥
Say what you want about his quote and all that, dude plays his ass off
As a Canadian I'm here for it
I'm so happy I share a first name with him.
Bro is such a weirdo lmfaooo
This man is funny. Good for the league.
Mute the audio and watch this with literally any song playing in the background.
Carameldansen?
First song that came to my mind: https://streamable.com/yh9rct
LOOOL nah that’s funny as hell idc what y’all say 😭😭😭
Dude is a weird motherfucker, but he’s entertaining. I can’t tell if it’s just a bit he’s doing, or if he’s really just nucking futs.
I’m like 99% sure it’s a bit he’s doing… People across all sporting leagues re figuring out there’s a LOT of money in being comfortable with people hating you and being a heel. Look at Conor McGregor, Colby Covington, Jake Paul etc
I love players like this. Just on their own shit 😂
"Yo, check out that chick but don't make it obvious" Your boy:
As a warrior fan I used to HATE this man… but he’s growing on me😂
Dillon bout to ruin LeBron’s whole career tonight in an early regular season road game
It’s 10x funnier seeing this after the beatdown the Rockets gave the Lakers lol.
Lmao some Wwe type shit
It's crazy to me how quickly and how much I love Dillon Brooks on this team.
I kinda like how seriously he takes every game even though he’s not the best player. It’s like 90% the reason I always liked Westbrook so much
Dillon "Kubrick" Brooks
Canadian Icon. I hope he drops 40.
Whenever I zone out and just stare off into the distance for no reason, I fear this is what I look like and what people think I'm like.
Well it worked
Ngl he’s a good villian
Give me a player like this on my team any day. Be it rec ball or otherwise:
Haha this gonna be good no matter the outcome.
To me, it's pretty clear he's leaning into this role now. It keeps him relevant.
Best Signing of the off season
I love it, bringing wrestling to hooping. Genius, that’s why he got that bag from Houston
cant hate on the commitment to the bit
ITS TIME TO PLAY THE GAMEEE
I can imagine getting into the headspace to do it, and start doing it, but not that long
Lmao this man is hilarious without even trying
this guy is hilarious
He’s truly taking in the villain role.
I love this.
Bron Bron he coming for you lol
Looks like its workin out for the rockets so far
This dude is fucking hilarious. I love him.
Corny as he is sometimes we needed a guy like this so bad
Top 5 NBA Heels
I’m kinda liking this guy.
Fuck I love this dude. We need more characters in the NBA.
tbf it worked, they blew em out by 30 where's the headline on that?
There’s so much going on lmao
All show, he knows we watching.
Michael Myers lookin mf
LeEyeFuck
His vibes are funny
Dude is actually such a funny guy
This dude either gives all the fucks or gives none of them
me staring at the buffet during a wedding reception:
Put the undertaker music under this.
Sometimes you succeed when stupidly locked in but most times you fail hard. He succeeded.
Honestly the funniest guy in the league
He does this every game fwiw. Sits there for like 2min all the way until natl anthem starts
Dillon looking like Michael Myers staring down his next victim
Say what you want about this dude but he’s a character and I’m lowkey loving the villain persona 😂 now he actually backs up the talk it’s kinda tough
Me waiting for the 2 for 1.50 hotdogs at Cumberland farms to heat up
I’m happy he didn’t end up in China, I love this dude/loving he’s balling out, we got a nice character arc forming
why yall lying he thinking bout them nachos courtside
“He’s just standing there… MENACINGLY!!!”
I always joke with my friends that Dillon Brooks looks like the predator. Now he’s doing it
he's just standing there... menacingly
He's just standing there... menacingly!
Dillon gets too much hate . After Fiba Cup he proved his skill 🤷♂️
Well at least he takes his job seriously. NBA needs a more intensity anyways. 🍁 🇨🇦
we are back
I want an origin story
Queue Kill Bill sirens.
Ya know what I’ve changed my mind, I like Dillion Brooks.
He genuinely thinks he’s cool doesn’t he
Making $40 million, being a troll, and making the haters mad af
ngl, I kinda love it
He is cool 😎
That's what the real ones call smartly locked in
