Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks fell to Dillon Brooks and the Memphis Grizzlies 112-108 on Monday night. Despite dealing with Brooks' antics and getting shut down in the fourth quarter, Irving was a good sport and hugged it out with the Grizzlies squad after the game. Irving even offered his jersey to Brooks. With that in mind, Dillon naturally offered his jersey back, but Irving never took it.
One of Dillon Brooks' worst enemies in the league, Draymond Green, hilariously reacted to the jersey swap on his podcast. Green's producer, Jackson Safon, wanted him to give his take on Irving not accepting Brooks' jersey. All the Golden State Warriors veteran did was laugh at the situation and then act as if he was shocked about how things turned out.

Is Dillon Brooks the most hated player in the NBA today?
Dillon Brooks has managed to build a bad reputation this season. He constantly gets into fights and even went as far as recently hurting a cameraman. His behavior this season is fitting for the image the Memphis Grizzlies have at the moment. His ill demeanor has dovetailed Ja Morant's troublesome behavior this year.
Now, even NBA fans are beginning to take notice of how bad Brooks has become. They also called him out for always getting into trouble with almost anybody in the league. This is especially true for the Golden State Warriors. The Grizzlies forward said that he dislikes the Warriors, which is why he always gets into a heated moments with their players.
It's no wonder all Draymond Green could do was laugh at Dillon's jersey getting rejected by Kyrie Irving on Monday night. Irving said his snub wasn't intentional.
To be fair to Dillon Brooks, he's been a solid role player for the Grizzlies since his rookie season. This year, Brooks is averaging 14.2 points, 3.3 assists and 2.6 rebounds. While the rest of the NBA is growing to despise him, at least he has the Memphis fans to back him up.
