Phoenix Suns forward, Kevin Durant is no stranger to trash talk in games. He often lets his game do the talking but we’ve seen his trash talk with Philadelphia 76ers’, Joel Embiid. A lot of players in the game trash-talk the entire time and get in their opponent’s head. Dillon Brooks has earned himself a reputation for being a notorious trash-talker in games. Durant in the interview with Boardroom, sides with Brooks’ efforts.
There is a budding rivalry in the West between the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies. However, most of the trash talk comes from Brooks, who has a habit of staying behind a player’s case all night long. Durant sides with Brooks in bringing the energy and effort for defending the best players of their opponents. “It’s just, it is who he is and he’s standing on that, and I can respect it,” Durant said.

“[There are] so many players in the history of the game that we all love for doing the same stuff. … I can respect it. It’s not no front with him.”

“There are a lot of players that come through the league and you want to stand out and become a name in our game. I think Dillon Brooks has really took advantage of the opportunities,” Durant said. “To be asked to guard the best players every single night, and also be an integral part of the offense. So, yeah, sometimes he takes it too far but its just a part of the role he has to play for his team,” Durant continued.
Brooks is also a physical player and has pissed off almost the entire Warriors roster. His latest altercation came with Klay Thompson in the last game between them in the regular season. Thompson eventually lost his cool and taunted the Grizzlies bench with 4 rings to his name. Nonetheless, Durant admits it’s all just part of the game, “its just we talk a little trash, move on,” KD added.
Draymond Green labeled Dillon Brooks an “idiot” for his trash talk
The Grizzlies have been a top team for most of the season, and are led by Ja Morant and Brooks. Brooks has been doing what Draymond Green has been doing for the Warriors his entire career. Surprisingly Brooks looked up to become like Green when he was playing in college. However, Brooks is turning out to be Draymond’s nemesis. Brooks claimed to be better than Green earlier in March. However, Green took a shot at the entire Grizzlies team.
“If you ever wonder why the Memphis Grizzlies is not ready to compete for a championship, look no further than this idiot right here. They’re actually depending on this guy to help them win a championship.”
