In year 23, LeBron James does not have many so-called ‘rivals’ left. Many are in awe of what he has done in his basketball career, except for a certain Dillon Brooks.

The Phoenix Suns forward has made it a habit of going after the league’s all-time leading scorer on every occasion he can think of. In their first meeting this year, it was the four-time champion who managed to have a laugh at Dillon Brooks’ expense.

That changed the next time the two met. This time, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar was on the attack, pushing and shoving his ‘foe’ to the extent that it drew a retaliation from Brooks. Teammates and officials had to hold back James after he wanted to confront the Suns star.

But then, the 41-year-old used his brains. First, he bumped into Brooks as the latter was shooting a three-pointer, and then feigned as if he was the victim when the 30-year-old reacted. Eventually, the Suns’ star was ejected.

Brooks eventually had the last laugh, as his Suns blew the Lakers out at home. When the former second-round pick appeared on Agent’s live stream, the host asked the NBA star to list the players he can talk trash to.

If it was LeBron five years ago, then it’d be different… Miami Bron, you’re not really talking trash to him… Because he’s got more game to him, more agile. Right now, he’s like old.

Dillon Brooks said

Dillon Brooks’ answer indicates that he is not scared of this older version of LeBron James and can confidently talk trash to him any day.

Streamer calls in to ask Dillon Brooks to ease off on ‘old man’ LeBron James

A lot of NBA players have been hopping onto live streams. Some do it themselves, while others, such as the Phoenix Suns star in this instance, hopped onto a famous streamer. One of the byproducts of such an approach is that they get to meet other top players in that space.

Happy birthday, Dillon Brooks. I like the energy that you bring to the game. It takes a lot of heart to stand up to the King… You in your 20s, Bron is in his 40s, you can’t be too aggressive on my old man.

Tylil told Dillon Brooks

This was streamer Tylil, who tried his best to argue that Dillon Brooks was at an age advantage over LeBron James. Considering that, and the fact that the Lakers’ superstar is one of the greats, the streamer wanted the forward to ease off.

The Oregon Duck initially agreed, but then reminded Tylil that when the two are on the court, the age and stature do not matter. Maybe that mentality is why Brooks does not mind getting under James’ skin.

Dillon Brooks and LeBron James will resume feud after All-Star game

After three games against each other, and these comments about LeBron James’ age and possibly declining skills, Dillon Brooks will get another chance later next month.

The four-time champion will play in the All-Star weekend, but will not be a starter for the first time in forever. On the other hand, the Suns forward was on an All-Star trajectory, and many felt Brooks was on the path to becoming one.

That will not happen this season. But Brooks can maybe prove in the final game against the Lakers, set to be held on February 26th at the Mortgage Matchup Center.

If he leads his team again to an impressive win over their Western Conference counterparts, he will probably claim victory in the feud for good, as there is a chance James retires after this season.
