The Phoenix Suns were one of the teams that surprised many last season after the roster shakeup they had, but it happened to work in their favor. Dillon Brooks was one of their biggest additions, and he ended up having a career season to help the team get to the playoffs. Of course, with Brooks you're going to get the trolling and trash talking, and he already started before this season.
He went for Kevin Durant first, taking a shot at him on social media after seeing him and Suns owner Mat Ishbia go back and forth.
“Thanks Matt for cleaning up that stench in the locker room before I came #culture,” Brooks wrote.
Earlier this week, there was a Kalshi ad released that featured Brooks, and it centered around the “Kingblocker 9000” which was a shot taken at LeBron James.
Yes, Brooks came at two of the best players to ever play the game, and unfortunately for him, it backfired. The Suns opened their season against the Portland Trail Blazers, and they lost by 41 points. Meanwhile, Durant and the Houston Rockets handled business against the Dallas Mavericks in their season opener.

The funny thing about this is that Durant and James are not worried about Brooks, and they'll continue to not be worried. And even though Brooks and the Suns took a rough loss, that isn't going to stop him from doing all of his regular antics.
