LeBron James may have played last game. Dillon Brooks was there
Dillon Brooks has a history with LeBron James. He smiled at the Lakers' star as the OKC swept Los Angeles in Game 4 of their playoff series.
There he was. With a wide smile and jewelry in his mouth, around his neck and on his wrist, Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks sat baseline at Crypto. com Arena watching the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder battle in Game 4 of their best-of-seven Western Conference semifinals series.
Amazon Prime captured him on camera during the first half on Monday, May 11, as LeBron James was shooting free throws. “Did he just spot a villain (play-by-play commentator) Kevin Harlan,” said Prime NBA analyst Candace Parker early in the first quarter. “Was that Dillon Brooks underneath the basket?
” That it was. “All I could see was ice (jewelry),” Prime NBA analyst Dwyane Wade said. The Lakers were swept by the defending NBA champions after losing Game 4 Monday, 115-110.
James finished with 24 points in defeat. Brooks and James have a long history, with one of the more memorable moments coming in the 2023 playoffs. When Brooks was with the Memphis Grizzlies , he uttered “I poke bears” in a postgame interview after a Game 2 win over the Lakers, who eventually won the series.
