Throughout the Memphis Grizzlies’ win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, Dillon Brooks and Klay Thompson could be seen arguing with each other. Brooks and Thompson talk trash, with Brooks yelling “You bastard!” at Thompson, as Thompson reminded Brooks how many rings the Warriors have won.
After the game, Brooks said the Grizzlies used that as motivation.
“He has four rings. That’s all he says. Motivation to us,” Brooks said. “We want a ring, too. Having gone through the process of the steps we took last year, we continue to learn from all of this. It’s friendly trash talk, but I just have a lot of real estate out there in San Francisco. “
From Thompson’s side, he didn’t seem too phased by Brooks’ trash talk.
“I don’t care about Dillon Brooks,” Thompson said. “When he retires, I don’t think anyone will talk about Dillon Brooks anymore. I promise you. It’s sweet right now, but wait 10 years.”
