Memphis Grizzlies’ power forward Dillon Brooks has a reputation as a troublemaker in the NBA. The Oregon product always seems to be getting into spats.
He also talks a lot of trash. I guess I get it, as the Grizzlies are one of the league’s best teams. At the same time, they haven’t won anything yet.
And, in last night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he cheap-shotted Donovan Mitchell, leading to a fight.
Here's a better look at Dillon Brooks hitting Donovan Mitchell's jewels. 👀

Not cool, Dillon Brooks.
Twitter is in agreement that Brooks is to blame.

These two teams could definitely meet in the NBA finals. Could you imagine the tension?
