Dillon Brooks gets roasted

Dillon Brooks is getting humiliated on the internet after his team lost by a massive 40 points. Many would say that the treatment that Dillon Brooks is receiving is well deserved. Even NBA legend Isiah Thomas weighed in on the conversation. He said, “It is like, ‘Bam! You asked for the 40, here’s the 40!.” Safe to say Brooks will think twice before getting involved in a verbal spat with LeBron in the future, given how much humiliation he has to bear currently.
