Dillon Brooks doesn't know how to leave LeBron James alone originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Dillon Brooks and his Phoenix Suns had their season ended in April.
Despite that, Brooks is still putting himself into the mist during the NBA playoffs.
He was in attendance at Monday night's Los Angeles Lakers clash with the Oklahoma City Thunder. With OKC leading the series 3-0, it could be the Lakers' final game of the season.
And with that in mind, it could be either LeBron James' final game of his career, or final game with the Lakers, or both, or neither.
Brooks and James have a documented history of some high-profile trash talk and some on-court feuding.
That made it all the more fascinating when Brooks was underneath the basket while James shot free throws on Monday -- the Suns wing was laughing up a storm, and it's very possible he had some choice words before the camera happened to turn toward him:

Brooks isn't the first eliminated player to stop by a playoff game. Draymond Green sat courtside for a Pistons home game in Detroit earlier in the postseason.
A lot of NBA players simply love basketball, and they'll gladly take in the scene even once their season is over.
There's added stakes on Monday when you consider every aspect of the game LeBron has going, too. And since the Thunder are the powerful defending champs, it could be a tough night for the Lakers.
There's no telling what chatter might continue from Brooks, but he surely knows there aren't a lot of years left to keep jabbing at LeBron and his contemporaries.
