BTW, those Dillon the Villian t-shirts are going to be real collectors items. There are already a bunch of them on ebay. Not all are real from the game shirts because some are from outside of the US but I'm sure some are real.

If Dillon isn't leading Santa's sleigh this Christmas I'm going to be disappointed

He’s definitely from the island of misfit toys

I'm talking his GLOWING red nose, lmao

I too have noticed the red nose lately.

Brooks getting into Michael Jordan's bag now and making stuff up to motivate himself.

On back-and-forth with Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff, who coached him in Memphis: "He claimed that he started me in games in Memphis and I told him he didn't start me at all and he'd take me out for one backdoor play and like a rookie or a college coach. He tried to tell me I started games so I'm going to look at the stats and send him the stats of me not playing or starting at all, but it was part of my progress. Even though I joke about that, it made me really lock into a lot of plays so I don't miss something. I appreciate JB in my journey. He opened his arms to me as if I was a son. I appreciate him."

Brooks started 74 of the 82 games he played as a rookie with David Fizdale coaching 19 games and Bickerstaff coaching the remaining 63 games in Brooks' rookie year in 2017-18.

So yes, Bickerstaff did indeed start Brooks. #Suns

Great win. I was definitely glad that Gillespie was back on the court. Dillon Brooks put on a masterful performance that was definitely needed against the number one seed in the east.

Loving what Coach Ott has brought to this team so much. His full postgame interview is worth watching but especially the end where he said Dillon "told me I sucked in so many words" and "he was right in this case". Such confidence in himself to be able to say stuff like this and give so much detail to the goings on.

The print is OK but the shirt quality is cheap. IDK why they don’t have something similar in the team shop, but then again I’d rather they not so we can squeeze out another 40 ball from him next time.

Somewhat related, I’m disappointed they don’t have t-shirt jerseys of more guys. Only Booker and Green are available. I wanted to buy a Gillespie for myself and a Brooks for my Canadian buddy.

Dillon Brooks is relentless!
