“Lowkey Conversation”: LeBron James and Dillon Brooks Engage in Cutesy Smack-Talk Interaction Ahead of Game 3 Grizzlies vs Lakers

This Lakers vs Grizzlies series is giving everyone far more than anything we bargained for. LeBron James and the LA has somehow been better than what most would’ve expected on their best day. And of course, no matter how much you may hate them, Memphis now houses a team that is beyond formidable.

However, that isn’t the thing that has made this matchup so interesting. You see, Brooks has taken it upon himself to become the villain of the NBA. And so of course, when he plays against your favorite team, you’re going to tune in no matter what, hoping and praying you blow their back out… pause.

Further, apparently, this man has been on a personal mission for a little bit against LeBron James apparently. You see, he has been talking quite a bit of crud about the man. And unequivocally, the most famous of all his comments is this one below.

These comments came right after game 2. So of course, you’d think LeBron James has already thought long and hard about what to say to his opponent. And sure enough, there seems to have been a bit of a spicy confrontation between them ahead of game 3.

LeBron James may be 38 years old already. However, he is not somebody to be trifled with. After all, the man is considered by many to be the GOAT of the basketball world.

Still, Dillon Brooks decided that it was a good idea to anger this man. And as a response to that, James said nothing to the media. However, what he did do, is this little thing ahead of the game. Take a look below.

“Lowkey conversation”. Sure, you could call it that. Or, you could look at the obvious look on their faces, and realize that they’re smack-talking each other vehemently. Of course, you can’t make that kind of speculation on television. Good thing we’re still allowed to do whatever we want.
