[Saba Sports News] Just a week after winning bronze with Canada at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Dillon Brooks is already back in the gym. A viral video of his latest workout garnered reactions from NBA fans.
Some anticipate a revenge tour from Brooks in the upcoming season.
Others playfully teased Brooks, suggesting LeBron James would outshine him.
According to one fan, Brooks boasts superior ball-handling skills compared to Jaylen Brown.
Despite varying opinions, many acknowledge Brooks’ talent and dedication, respecting his quick return to training. While he could have reveled in the glory of Canada’s historic World Cup finish, he’s focused on improving his game.
Dillon Brooks faced criticism, especially after a playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers where he trash-talked LeBron James, only to see it backfire as the Lakers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in six games. However, he silenced his critics with a 39-point performance against Team USA during the World Cup’s third-place game.
After that outstanding performance, Brooks had a message for his detractors, saying, “I just appreciate you. Everybody that was throwing shots on Twitter and Instagram… It just motivates me to keep on going.”
His motivation paid off as he dominated against Team USA, asserting himself as one of the world’s top perimeter defenders, according to Brooks himself, though opinions may differ.
