The Los Angeles Lakers entered Monday’s Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on the verge of elimination down 3-0, and Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks had front-row seats to see it.

In the first quarter in downtown Los Angeles, the NBA on Prime cameras caught a villainously laughing Brooks sitting courtside underneath the hoop, watching LeBron James shooting free throws.

Brooks and James in particular have a history, as Brooks called James a “social media junkie” in December and said, “He likes people that bow down. I don’t bow down.”

Brooks famously called James “old” and said, “I poke bears” during the 2023 playoffs when Brooks played for the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Thunder swept the Suns in the opening round and looked primed to do the same to Los Angeles after three wins by at least 18 points.
