Memphis Grizzlies star Dillon Brooks was very vocal about his disregard for LeBron James after the team's 103-93 Game 2 win over the Lakers.
Memphis bounced back to defeat the Lakers and tie the series at 1-1 but there was a more exciting talking point.
Memphis star Dillon Brooks called Lakers superstar LeBron James a "motherf****ng bum", and stared him down several times after making shots as he propelled his team to a crucial win.
Brooks shows LeBron no respect
In a post-game interview, Brooks spoke about LeBron and told reporters: "I don't care, he's old". The Grizzlies' player implied that James started getting back in his face once he was in foul trouble:
"I was waiting for that. I was expecting for him to do that in Game 4 or Game 5, but he wanted to say something once I got my fourth foul. He should have said something earlier on".
LeBron James labors in vain as Memphis Grizzlies even series against Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers played poorly and failed to take advantage of open looks against a Memphis team playing without star man Ja Morant.
LeBron led all scorers with 28 points to go with his 12 rebounds while Brooks defended at a high level and tallied 12 points.
Game 3 is slated for Sunday in Los Angeles.
