"Brooks really on his villain arc": NBA fans ridicule Dillon Brooks for his antics during Anthony Edwards' interview

Team USA won against Canada in an exhibition game in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Known on-court instigator Dillon Brooks, who plays for Canada, kept up his "villainous antics" during and after the game.

During an interview with Anthony Edwards, Brooks can be seen walking right in front of him and the press asking him questions. Edwards then gave a blank stare in Brooks' direction before ultimately just ignoring his action.

Fans saw the move as the latest of Brooks' mind games and quickly went to troll the Canadian.

"Bro's really on his villain arc," wrote one user.

"He's desperate for attention," wrote one user.

"Brooks always doing this," added another.

It's not the first time Brooks walked through a Team USA player's interview. He was also caught stepping through Devin Booker's session with the press.

Both antics made one fan question if Brooks even has any supporters in the NBA because of his antics.

"Does any player like [Dillon Brooks], bros a try hard for attention," one user wrote.

A few fans even thought that Edwards' stare was a queue that he was close to acting on the interruption.

"Ant thought about putting a stop to it lmao, " one user said .

"Ant thought about it for a second", wrote @BovadaOfficial

But it's not all hate for the Houston Rockets wing player, whose antics have some NBA fans appreciating the general entertainment of it all.

"Bro is actually funny af," one fan laughed.

"Dillon Brooks is someone who the league needs," added another supporter.

During the game, Brooks was also seen playing tight defense on his on-court rival LeBron James, which included a brief pushing contest before an inbounds pass.

Team USA trumps Dillon Brooks, Canada in first exhibition match

The two North American powerhouses squared off in Las Vegas which was considered by many as a preview of a possible late-stage matchup in the coming 2024 Paris Olympics.

Canada got off to an early 11-1 start before Edwards and Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum checked into the game to spark a quick comeback and place Team USA in front in the second quarter — a lead they would hold for the rest of the game.

Edwards finished with 13 points on 5-8 shooting for the USA, who won the game by 14 points, 86-72.

RJ Barrett paced the Canadians with 12 points, while Dillon Brooks scored 10 points, on 3-7 shooting, along with two rebounds and two assists.
