With big contracts come high expectations. When a player signs a lucrative deal, fans scrutinize their performance, looking for any signs of underachievement. This is precisely what happened to 27-year-old NBA star Dillon Brooks, who recently secured an astounding $80 million contract with the Houston Rockets.

Despite his impressive payday, Brooks found himself at the receiving end of brutal trolling in a recent pro-am game.?

Dillon Brook?s NBA drive

Brooks is a young shooting guard, and he has gained popularity in the NBA ever since his debut. He played college basketball for the Oregon Ducks before being drafted by the Houston Rockets in the second round of the 2017 draft. He was subsequently traded to Memphis Grizzlies on draft night.

Brooks had a little bump start early on with multiple foot injuries. That limited him to just 18 games in his sophomore season. He bounced back quickly in the subsequent seasons and showcased immense skill. He averaged double-digit points per game and proved himself as an integral part of Memphis’ roster.?

Recently, the Rockets inked a four-year deal worth a staggering $80 million with the 27 YO Dillon.?
