Dillion Brooks, a forward for the Memphis Grizzlies, believes that Shannon Sharpe shouldn’t have been allowed back into the Arena after his heated altercation with point guard Ja Morant’s father, Tee Morant. This incident has become a hot-button issue among fans and pundits alike, and Brooks joined the conversation to make his opinion heard. Brooks made some controversial comments about the Hall of Fame tight end that didn’t exactly sit well with everyone.

Brooks was asked about the incident between Sharpe and Morant in the postgame media scrum and initially, he shrugged them off. The Grizzlies forward said, “I ain’t talking about that. You can ask him. He’s the blogger or whatever he is. I don’t really care about all that. Next question.”. However, when he was asked about how fans should generally behave at games, Brooks wasted no time in taking a dig at Shannon, calling him a “pedestrian”. “A regular pedestrian like him? No. He should have never come back in the game. But this is L.A.”

Among those who took offense at Brooks’ disrespectful comments about Shannon was Kendrick Perkins. Appalled by Brooks’ nonchalant attitude toward Shannon Sharpe’s stature and achievements, Perkins took to Twitter to call him out. The tweet: “Dillon Brooks calling one the GREATEST Tight Ends to ever play the game of football a Blogger is very disturbing to me!!!! Real Talk.”

The Grizzlies, as they have gotten better since Ja Morant was drafted, have developed a reputation for themselves as trash talkers. It is also important to know when gamesmanship turns into disrespect.

One characteristic that defines Brooks is fearlessness. And while that is a nice quality to have, on some nights, it costs his team the game. That is exactly what transpired in the Grizzlies’ one-point loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Brooks was downright awful on the offensive side of the ball. For the game, he shot 4-17 from the field and 1-4 from three, scoring only 9 points. To make matters worse, he fouled out trying to guard LeBron James the whole game.

Despite his comments about how to guard LeBron, the King ended up with 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists and the Lakers were a +9 when he was on the floor. All in all, it was a night to forget for Brooks as he embarrassed himself both on and off the court.
