Dillon Brooks on hair loss: ‘If you don’t think that, you don’t like basketball’

“I’m the best defender in the tournament, the world, and the NBA“. These are the words of Dillon Brooks, a man who won’t be ignored. He’s always been in the eye of the hurricane because of his words and toughness on the court, and the World Cup is vindicating a player who had a very poor season in the best league in the world and giving the Grizzlies a backdoor exit . Before the World Cup, he had signed a huge contract with the Rockets worth $86 million for four seasons, averaging more than $21 million per year. The price was too high for many, but Brooks performed well in the tournament and has been a fundamental pillar of Team Canada..

As Brooks said during the game, his coach Jordy Fernandez praised him after their World Cup quarter-final victory over Slovenia: “It was a defensive clinic, leading with his chest, showing off his hands, full court press… If you don’t think that way, then you don’t like basketball“. Brooks guarded Luka Doncic, who finished with 26 points but shot 8-of-20 from the field, got distracted and was ejected.Like his opponents, he didn’t care, waiting in the locker room tunnel with his boxing gloves on for his teammates to celebrate their victory. This is another one of his many quirks.By the way, in that game, he scored 14 points on 3 of 5 three-pointers. In addition, dance Pretty much the entire meeting with Doncic. That wasn’t the only thing Fernandez said to Brooks. After finishing third, he praised the contestant again during his performance: “I’m very proud of Dillon. This is what it looked like when they put Dillon Brooks on the court. This isn’t just a defensive issue. Together with Lu Dort, he formed the best outside line in the World Cup. But his offense is also very efficient.“.

The Slovenian star himself praised his opponent and said he respects the way he plays. This has become an ongoing debate surrounding a controversial figure who leaves no one indifferent and who is very much a quintessential figure in the NBA., based on self-justification. Unlike Brooks, who averaged about 15 points per game and shot over 55% from three-point range. He also made the right decisions at the right time and displayed tremendous defensive prowess that contrasted sharply with where he ended the NBA season, When the Lakers beat the Grizzlies in the first round (4-2) Brooks was vilified after making disparaging remarks about LeBron James before the playoffs.

Brooks barely hit more than 23 percent of his triples in this series, a very poor 10 of 42, and never had more than two hits in any game. He was mentally intolerable to the personal duels he had to endure, He embarrassed the Lakers by constantly asking him to shoot from outside and didn’t handle the uproar over his comments well.. Ultimately, LeBron left before the game ended without greeting any Grizzlies players. Of course, the same goes for Brooks: The two have vastly different resumes, one is a star fighting for the NBA’s Olympus throne, and the other has clearly always considered himself to be more important than who he is.

That’s behind us. Brooks has positioned himself as a vital part of what many define as the best Canadian program in history. This is a country that has never made it this far in a World Cup and still performed well despite not having Jamal Murray or Andrew Wiggins. Led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, They were unable to defeat Svetislav Pesic’s Serbia in the semi-finalsBut the victory over the United States gave them their first World Cup medal. At the same time, Brooks also had an outstanding performance: he scored 39 points on 7 of 8 three-pointers, with an efficiency of 42. Over the past four World Cup games, he’s averaged 22.8 goals per game and shot over 60 percent from the field…and 66 percent from three-point range in almost 31 minutes of game time. Finally won the bronze medal game MVP and the best defender of the game. He is Dillon Brooks, a man with a contradictory personality, but a player who can perform well in a certain role. Focusing your attention is very useful. No matter how much he insists on being more of a starring role off the field than on it.
