NBA Furious With Dillon Brooks, The Latest Culprit
The Grizzlies forward has been called for the majority of technical fouls this season, has gotten into arguments with the majority of the league and spectators and has even punched a television cameraperson.
Strong men who occasionally crossed the line and injured opponents are examples of provocateurs, as are demonstrators who caused chaos for the authorities. Dillon Brooks, the Canadian forward for the Memphis Grizzlies, is already making his way onto that list of dubious distinctions.

Dillon Brooks, the Canadian forward for the Memphis Grizzlies, is already making his way onto that list of dubious distinctions.
The 27-year-old, with a height of 1.98 meters, make the NBA envious. He rarely plays in a game without getting into some trouble.
He has received more technical fouls than any other player. This season, he has already received fines totaling $253,242 for technical fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct, leading to his two ejections.
He struck Donovan Mitchell in the crotch during a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers after missing a drive and falling to the ground.
He was so aggressive that it started a huge fight. He confronted a fan who claimed he couldn’t defend LeBron James at his stature while watching a Los Angeles Lakers game.
A former NFL player named Shannon Sharpe was the fan, who was discovered by the Grizzlies players when they walked to the front row. Ja Morant’s father was also a part of the argument. Like many of his previous adversaries, Brooks and Nikola Jokic had a falling out a fortnight ago.
The most recent incident occurred during a match against the Miami Heat and included a television cameraman. As it appeared that the forward had stopped his run to collect a ball lost down the wing, the cameraman was intentionally pushed, causing him to fall to the ground. The only punishment for Brooks’s incident was a $35,000 fine.
The Golden State Warriors are the subject of the Grizzlies player’s bitterest dispute. Andre Iguodala’s refusal to play in Memphis was the catalyst for everything. The franchise received it poorly.
It got worse when, in May of last year, during the Western semifinal, Brooks struck Gary Payton Jr. in the head while he was in the air to deflect a drive from Payton.
His opponent suffered a broken left elbow after suffering a severe fall to the ground. Since then, the hatred between the two teams has intensified, and brawls frequently break out during games.
Brooks and Draymond Green, another regular suspect, are typically the central protagonists. Before, during, and after the games, arguments are verbally exchanged.
