It’s been a while since the NBA had a villain team, but it seems the Memphis Grizzlies are taking on that role.
After defeating the Golden State Warriors in the regular season again, some heated words were exchanged between Klay Thompson and Dillon Brooks.
Memphis got the better of Golden State in Saturday night’s game, but that didn’t stop Klay Thompson from reminding everybody about how many championships his team has won.

Even so, it didn’t seem to bother Dillon Brooks one bit. Here he is in the post-game press conference responding to Thompson.
"He's got 4 rings. That's all he was saying. It's motivation to us. We want a ring as well… It's friendly trash talk, but I just hold a lot of real estate over there in San Francisco."

After that, Klay Thompson expressed how he really feels about Brooks.
Klay Thompson:
“I don’t care about Dillon Brooks… When he retires, I don’t think anyone will ever talk about Dillon Brooks ever again. I promise you. It’s sweet right now, but wait 10 years.” pic.twitter.com/GjWtoW22ZR

Clearly, these two teams don’t like each other. Brooks seems to get in the heads of everybody in Golden State except for maybe Stephen Curry.
Either way, we just love a good feud when we see one. This kind of trash-talking is fun to watch. I’m ready to grab the popcorn every time!
