Follow usHouston Rockets best defender Dillon Brooks – who made the headlines during last campaign’s postseason when, as a player of Memphis Grizzlies, he claimed that LeBron James is “old” and challenged him to notch 40 points, then hit him in the groin in Game 3 – and he didn’t learn his lesson from that experience as he will face the LA Lakers superstar again today in Houston.
“Ready to stop him,” Brooks shared, according to the Houston Chronicle. “James is shooting the ball well. He has shown great basketball since the beginning of the season. But I will make him tired, make him come into that 4th quarter a lot earlier.”

Dillon’s antics didn’t do much to help Memphis during the spring, as the Grizzlies were eliminated in 6 matches from the Lakers in the 1st round matchup, with LeBron finishing with 22 points and 20 boards in Game 4 for the 1st 20-20 line of his career.
