Dillon Brooks has never been shy about talking trash, and his reputation only grew when he started going at LeBron James during his Memphis days. He rarely backs down, though he admits there are a select few players in the league he avoids.
Some guys simply respond too well to trash talk. Whether they make you pay on the scoreboard or fire back just as loud, certain players aren’t worth testing. According to Brooks, there are three of them, and one name he mentioned is Luka Doncic.
Unlike LeBron, Doncic talks a lot, is young and firmly in his prime. Brooks has clearly taken note.
“There’s only like 3 players in the league you don’t wanna talk trash to. [one of them is] Luka, cuz he’ll talk back to you. He’ll go back and forth, laugh and everything. His game is so polished, he’s getting to his numbers, 100%.”
