WHY WE HATE HIM
Dillon Brooks talks like he's a superstar while playing like a role player. His self-proclaimed villain status feels manufactured and try-hard. He'll hit a tough shot then stare down the crowd like he just won the Finals, but then shoot 3-15 in the next game. His antics are more annoying than intimidating, and his playoff record doesn't back up his trash talk. He's the villain nobody asked for.

GREATEST VILLAIN MOMENT
"May 12, 2023: After the Lakers eliminated Memphis in Game 6, Dillon Brooks proclaimed 'I'm gonna be the villain' in his post-game interview. The problem? He shot 34% from the field in the series and was largely invisible in elimination games. Declaring villain status after losing was peak Dillon Brooks - all talk, minimal substance. True villains earn their status through excellence."
THE DEFENSE
Dillon Brooks brings defensive intensity and toughness to every team he joins. His confidence is necessary for role players to succeed at the NBA level, and his willingness to take big shots shows competitor mentality. He's a solid contributor who plays with passion and isn't afraid of big moments or hostile environments.
