[Article: Dillon Brooks On His Feud With LeBron During The 2023 Playoffs: ‘I Feel Like I Always Had Him’](https://uproxx.com/dimemag/dillon-brooks-feud-lebron-2023-playoffs-feel-like-i-always-had-him/)
>Fast forward to today and Brooks is with Canada’s national team at the FIBA Basketball World Cup, but he still can’t escape the feeling that he had James right where he wanted him during their matchup in the playoffs.
>“I feel like I always had him,” Brooks said in an interview with Arash Madani of Sportsnet. “I feel like that series was thrown upon me cause of the words that I say, but I’ve been saying things all year and we won 50 games.”

The trash talk is fine, it’s the fact he refused to talk to the media that was straight up embarrassing
Bringing it up now only makes it worse
Come on.
He def had James’s balls on his hand
Had him right where he wanted him, if only the league let the series go to 9 games smh
Wasn’t there a stat that LeBron shot like 43% against other defenders and 55% against Brooks lol
Tillman IIRC actually did quite a good job on LeBron but Brooks’s ego made him think that he was somehow the “LeBron stopper” and might have actually cost them the game in game 4
Might have got the exact numbers wrong but I definitely remember Brooks being statistically actually one of the worst LeBron defenders on Memphis
Brooks is delusional, have fun Houston fans.
Is this “him” in this room with us right now, Dillon?
Ugh I really have to support this dude?
I had Whitney’s Milktank right where I wanted her too before she hit me with Rollout
I didn’t realize that “right where he wanted him” meant a trip to the next round.
1000 iq play from Brooks. So smart that peasants like us couldn’t understand such success.
I feel like Dillon Brooks and I have much in common.
[LeBron: You almost had me? You NEVER had me.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ1pxgeKwVc)
What? Does Dillon Brooks have a problem with what words actually mean?
“You almost had *me*? You never had me. You never had your car. Ask any racer, any real racer, it doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning”
Textbook cognitive dissonance
This mf got embarrassed, took the L, got traded, and refused to talk to the media. Now he wants to bring it up after all that. I guess I gotta respect his commitment to jackassery
Is there any player more delusional than Brooks?
Congrats Rockets!
You got your man right there!
Sit this one out bud.
You almost had me???! You never had me, never had the ball. Ask any real baller out there. Win by 20 or win by 1, a wins a win.
You almost had me? You never had me – you never had your car… Granny shiftin’ not double clutchin’ like you should. -Lebron “Dom” James
When Brooks was guarding him, didn’t Lebron have like stupid high efficiency? What is bro waffling about
I wanted so badly to like and support Oregon Ducks legend, Dillon Brooks, but Dillon Brooks made that impossible.
He talks and talks until he needs to then he’s quiet. That’s his issue
Brooks: What do you think about me?
LeBron: I don’t think about you
Generation defining delusional
“I almost had you!”
You never had me. You never had your car.
-LeDom James.
Tis but a scratch
Lmao you had an injured Bron and still fucked up.
Oh hey look the village idiot is back!
