Dillon Brooks is a divisive figure in the NBA, to say the least. Last season was a horror show for Brooks. As the ?Memphis Grizzlies??’griddied’ their way out of the post-season was the laughingstock for the entire league. Not only this, during their match-up with the Lakers, Brooks called LeBron James “Old”.

After being eliminated by King James and his Los Angeles Lakers, they fired Brooks from Memphis. Resulting in a barrage of media scrutiny and public ridicule. However, after that, he was signed by the Houston Rockets. More recently, fans are distraught over the 27-year-old repeating the same antics in Houston.
