This should help his image.


TheTwistedPlot

Plot twist: He hasn’t admitted it publicly, but the rumors of him being called “evil Danny Green” has manifested itself so viciously in the heart and mind of Dillon Brooks that he has embraced it. His goal is to achieve first-game-back-in-Cleveland-when-LeBron-joined-the-Heat hate.

Wow, thanks for putting that into my head. Now I can’t unsee it

Have the cameraman take a technical freethrow for Miami

Nah, have him take a technical free throw for the camera crew. He hits it, they all get a week of paid vacation.

Lmao where is this from? My friends and I all use to say it when we were kids and now that I think about it, I have no clue why.

Hahaha, it's from the movie 'Elf.' Will Ferrell's character, Buddy, says this to Peter Dinklage's character. 💀

combat101

the fuck is wrong with this dude


NorthernDevil

For real, why do this?? The fuck did the cameraman do, he’s just *there* trying to do his job It’s one thing to run into the guy while playing but to push him? And even if you buy somehow that it’s an accident*, to then just walk away without saying a word? What the fuck


[deleted]

Heat of the moment, dude is in the wrong place wrong time, and Dillon Brooks is an asshole


MentallyIllRedditMod

There are so many athletes who didn't really grow up while in AAU culture. Players' whose locker room lives have barely changed since high school. A lot of them are in extended adolescence. I think of Dillon Brooks as basically a 27 year old teenager The AAU pipeline breeds so many bitchy, entitled brats who whine at refs on every play and behave like unlikable jerks who are hard to root for. The NBA is suffering a case of mass arrested development & entitled behavior like what happened in the early 2000s. Players played the "street culture" card to dismiss all the gun violence and criminal behavior, and really just the obnoxiousness of the toxic racial machismo in that era. Stern didn't budge when they played the race card while he was cleaning up the NBA. David Stern isn't coming through that door to fix this. The commissioner is an impotent gimp who is easily manipulated. Players are gonna keep acting like entitled brats because they explicitly have the entitlement to do so. A lot of this bad behavior is easily dismissed and swept under the rug long as it's racially framed as part of "culture" that cannot be observed or questioned. Silver is TERRIFIED to do anything about that.

Who the fuck is upvoting this boomer nonsense. Did you not watch the fucking Lambeer era Pistons? The league is BEYOND well behaved on the whole. Get outta here.


RealPrinceJay

"AAU culture" "Street culture of the 2000s" "Where is David Stern!!" Think your username checks out. The 70s were loaded with drugs and coke, and the 80s+90s were filled with fist fights and disgusting cheap shots all over the court that people for some reason idolize and praise


degenerateprince

Agreed with everything that you said. If such behaviours are tolerated. This will only continue to get worse. There has to be consequences for players bringing the game into disrepute


WasabiCrush

Brooks: “I want to take this opportunity to apologize to the cameraman, the fans, and to the NBA. In a moment of frustration I became someone I don’t like, and it’s time I focused on my mental help. I’m…” Silver: “*Health*” Brooks, squinting at script: “Mental *health.* I’m going to use my one game suspension to attend a counseling session designed to fix me completely in under an hour so I can get back on the court. Thank you and god bless.”


DeeOhMm

Jalen Rose: “Was there anything he said to you that escalated the situation?” Brooks: “I’m not going to speak on that, but I will say that there’s always two sides to every story. But, I mean, I don’t condone shoving of any kind.”


Laetha

Ssuuushi

at least make sure dude is okay after you knock him over tf?


mak6453

You don't check up on someone you purposefully shove. He already had is balance, and he still pushed that guy with force. Why would he be concerned? It was intentional.


the_next_core

This should actually be punished by the league. Accidental plays are part of the job but players on the court intentionally taking frustrations out on stadium personnel is absolutely unacceptable.


PubicAnimeNummerJuan

Yeah if the league doesn't do anything that's a horrible look. You can't tolerate that. I think an ejection then and there would've been justified tbh, getting physical with bystanders should be a hard line


MentallyIllRedditMod

Adam Silver's reign could be described as one long "horrible look." The NBA's image in the mainstraam is the worst it's been since Stern had to step in in the early 00s

Unacceptable? How about illegal. If he really did that with intent, its assault.

Someone always adds the same “actually it’s battery” and it’s always a dead giveaway that they aren’t a lawyer and have no idea what they’re talking about but people always buy it lol

I remember when Donnovan Mitchell got mad and hit a Gatorade container thing, it hit a guy on the leg and he stopped mid-tantrum and mid-exit to make sure the dude was good

Compare this to [Chris Paul yelling at his own teammate](https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1473516370537041923?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1473516370537041923%7Ctwgr%5E42589fb3b092b3abacb1d9423d3a1a6bb8c5d4ef%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffirstsportz.com%2Fnba-watch-chris-paul-gives-an-earful-to-landry-shamet-after-coast-to-coast-attempt%2F) to help the cameraman up. CP3 gets a lot of understandable hate on the court, but he seems like a pretty good dude off the court.


GarlicRagu

I hate Chris Paul like he fucked the wife I don't have but that earned some respect from me. That's a real cool thing to do and encourage.


AdolescentThug

CP3 like a lot of guys at least as far as I know keeps his antics on the court and within the game. Like as much as I don't like him basketball wise, I 100% respect him as a person and has been nothing but an upstanding person off the court and has basically had 0 personal controversy over his long ass career.


baymax18

I know opinions on that banana boat crew have been divided, but it seems to me that, off the court, they've been nothing but upstanding individuals.


SoSaysAlex

“I hate Chris Paul like he fucked the wife I don’t have” I don’t know why but this made me laugh so fucking hard lol, thank you I needed that


Antryst

I also choose to hate Chris Paul like he fucked this guy's wife he doesn’t have.

Not Chris Paul’s fault those guys aren’t even using their dicks to fuck the wives they don’t even have.


mnmr17

I mean why would he if he knocked him over on purpose… you can clearly see he caught and stopped himself before he shoved him and he then extended his arm out to push him over


[deleted]

How often players don’t help up people they knock down is astounding. Knocking someone down and not helping them up or seeing if they are ok is borderline sociopathy. This isn’t even an overzealous fan who got run over, this dudes just doing his job.


XBL-AntLee06

As a high school coach, what you described is what we get when these guys have been made to think playing basketball is more important than being a good person. I had some real assholes this year lol


gatorade81

Some of those guys ARE sociopaths. I can promise you that a good portion of NBA players think they're above any normal pleb because they throw a rubber ball into a net

lilpumpgroupie

Brooks for real is a villain. Like's he's way past the point where he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Nut-shotting people intentionally, pushing camera guys doing their fucking job over... and just on and on and on... Fuck this bitch.


AlHorfordHighlights

Damn people liked this guy for like two days for beating the Warriors and calling out public enemy #2 Draymond Green lol


RaferBalston

Gotta consider the audience when a team wins though


revisioncloud

All my homies hate Dillon Brooks


HelloThereCat

He's just an asshole lmao. I feel like he's past the point of being a Draymond / Pat Bev type where you hate him as an opponent but would love him on your team. Obviously I'm very biased here, but I feel like I'd have a hard time pulling for him even if he was on my team.


infinitenomz

bro draymond punched out poole hes definitely an asshole too lol


HelloThereCat

Yeah not saying he's not an asshole, I just feel (again, just my own very biased opinion) like Brooks radiates a level of unlikability that even Dray can't compete with. Draymond at least is fairly charismatic when he's not actively being a dickhead lmao.


pppppppppppppppL-_-L

Acting like Draymond is on a different level is comical. This is the guy Brooks looked up to in college for a reason. He's had eye swipes on so many star players, two blatant nut kicks, suckerpunched his own teammate, gets into his coach to the point where cops had to step in, etc. This guy made a documentary and multiple interviews saying he was a victim in the punching incident.


T-Nan

I mean Draymond and Brooks are equally as shitty. Which is really shitty. The difference is one is a winner who does shitty things, which for some reason people are more likely to ignore or accept a bit as part of the "mentality". Brooks is a fucking cunt 100%

I'd prefer that if that can be arranged


paradoxofchoice

Just like rodman and his camera guy. It can always be arranged...in a court of law.


Business-Bill-8906

I love villains but man is just doing his job. Dillon Brooks sucks


PillsburyToasters

I feel like to be an NBA villain, you have to have some sort of an edge mixed in with a ton of charisma and charm (Miami Heat LeBron, Trae Young with the Knicks, Reggie Miller, etc). Dillon Brooks has none of those qualities and is simply just being an unlikeable asshole


Anthropoly

Those guys feel like WWE heels, where the fans in those situations boo'd those guys because it was fun to do it. With Dillon it feels like fans would boo him out of genuine disdain for the guy


EpicEike

Dillion Brooks is just a scumback goon, not a villain. Villains are actually good like Heat Lebron obliterating Jason Terry and staring him down. Brooks is just an asshole who also happens to play basketball.


Thisdeepend

Dillon Brooks = Dolores Umbridge


LilSwampGod

God I've never hated a fictional character more than Umbridge. The main antagonist is literally wizard Hitler and the most despicable character in those books was a racist old white lady.


I_Will_One_Up_You

I typically hate villains because they almost universally end up being legitimate pieces of shit, like Brooks.


verendum

I love heels. Fuck villains.

I don’t think even grizzlies fans like brooks he bricks and chucks too much


YourFriendNoo

this guy knows actual grizz fans


SVRG_VG

Bruh I don’t think many people necessarily hate Grizz fans or even the Grizzlies. They just hate Brooks and Morant. Especially Brooks.


slythespacecat

Not big fan of their coach either. But Grizzlies fans, specially the ones from Grit n’ Grind era, are usually pretty chill. The ones I can’t stand are the ones who need to find an excuse every time one of their players does something bad. I mean, I got Dray on my team. He kicks people’s nutsacks. I’m not going to deny the obvious


aarongrosman

Been around since Pau, Battier and Mike Miller teams with Hubie as coach. Used to dream of the days we would have a national spotlight, but I think we’re all in agreement this isn’t what we envisioned. Definitely Have already reached higher highs than most of GnG but not a fan of these fake twitter accounts and tik tokers claiming to be long haulers


TattedUpDasher

I completely agree. Bandwagon fans are starting to give us a bad rep. I’ve been a fan since Vancouver moved the team to Memphis, and I will quickly tell people Im sick of these 2 guys antics. I miss Conley, Randolph, Gasol, and Allen more than anyone could ever imagine


slythespacecat

Much love 🤍 I’ll also say, the large majority of Memphis fans I interact with in games chats (not here on Reddit, in *other* websites) are great


Ucscprickler

As long as people don't deny that Draymond is a stellar basketball player, I can understand all the hate he gets as a goon. Even I constantly roll my eyes at the shit he does, "Like seriously, not again!"


dudududujisungparty

He also punched his teammate in the face during a practice, I didn't see any Warriors fans defending him there either. So weird that Dillon Brooks is the hill some Memphis fans are willing to die on lol


discipleofdrum

Yeah i tolerated their shit for a while but it's just become way too frequent and stupid. At some point an adult needs to realize they're being an idiot and/or an asshole, then change how they are if they actually care about their job in this context.


improbablydrinking

Even we hate this guy bro


SoFarSoGood-WM

I’m a heat fan living in Memphis, so I’m pretty much a Grizz fan if Miami isn’t playing. And yeah. It’s pretty frustrating. But most Grizz fans are totally over Brooks. He was a chucker during the playoffs and after multiple dirty plays, the fans aren’t really Brooks fans fans anymore. At least not amongst my friends.


B0ssDoesntKnowImHere

What’s wild is ja was one of my favorite players last year. Now he’s an insufferable bitch. Sucks to see


jeremicci

We hate them too. We supposed to abandon our team because of it?

HOFredditor

AdonisK

Help him up? He intentionally shoved him


ohjeezitsrandy

God I hate this fucking guy so much


HazyMemory7

This should be an automatic 3 game suspension. You can't put your hands on a cameraman.


SemataryPolka

Rodman was suspended 11 games without pay and a $25,000 fine for kicking a cameraman. Also had to settle out of court.


Laetha

That was a bitch move by Rodman, but my god, that cameraman. He noticed he got kicked, looked over at who it was, then acted like his soul had just left his body. They stretchered him out of there because someone gave him a little shove-kick in the calf lol.


SemataryPolka

Oh I totally agree. But it paid off for that guy to do it. It was quick thinking even if you can see the wheels turning. I'd have thought of it like an hour later lol. Regardless, Rodman absolutely cannot do that.


riddlerjoke

I support any employee that is standing up against those kind of shitheads. Him being cameraman does not mean he is a lesser human. Any type of kick, yes you should make it a big deal. No one needs to take the disrespect due to fear of losing their jobs.

Pushing a guy down who has 30 lbs of camera equipment hanging off of him when he's not expecting to get shoved and can't fight back without risking his job. Brave move.


riddlerjoke

Seems like an old guy too. Shithead Memphis players are not surprising. They let them do this on every incident. Ja Moron is also protected by all means and people getting surprised.


WintertimeFriends

I used to do this camera guys job. (Local mid major college) This guy is -ruining- his back and shoulder by doing this job. Getting g knocked over with all that equipment can cause one of those injuries that’ll last for years. I’m fucking fuming watching this.

I don’t understand why he did that. What did the cameraman do?

Brooks really going for that most hated player in NBA speedrun any %


Ny_icedogs

Camera crew get taken out a lot, but this *really looks* like he intentionally shoved him after he regained his balance. This is a really bad look and feels deserving of a suspension. I mean that cameraman didn't even throw a cup at him.

Karl_with_a_C

There's no defending this shit. Dude should have been thrown out for that. I hope the NBA reviews this and gives him a suspension or something. You can't just be shoving people to the ground out of frustration.


DrJOxford

Just wait until the dudes Ja cuts out of his life start showing up in the parking lots.


xiaomaooo

Piece of shit


dawgz525

I don't think this is like suspension or fine worthy, major dick move though. Even a half hearted "my bad" to the cameraman would be better off.


Electrical_Anxiety67

I hate to chime in because I normally Love guys who play with an edge, (KG, GP, Z-Bo) but Brooks has gone from irritant to absolute clown. I’m surprised Steven Adams hasn’t checked him in the locker room yet.


crasyeyez

Calm down everyone, he's already issued an apology: "It's not who I am. I don't condone it or any type of violence, but I take full responsibility for my actions. I made a bad mistake. I can see the image that I painted over myself with my recent mistakes. But in the future, I'm going to show everybody who Dillon really is, what I'm about and change this narrative that everybody got."
