Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has named the biggest foul baiters in the NBA, including Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
What happened?
The Phoenix Suns star made the comments in an NBA 2K promo alongside teammate Khaman Maluach. Brooks selected Doncic, Oklahoma City Thunder MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Trae Young of the Washington Wizards as the recipients of this honor. The choices don't exactly come as a surprise, given Brooks' history of controversy and his tendency to speak his mind.
Why it matters for Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns are looking to improve after a tough recent form, with a record of 0W-0D-5L in their last 5 games, including a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on 2026-04-28. Brooks' comments may be seen as a way to motivate his teammates and get an edge over their opponents.
What comes next?
The Phoenix Suns will be looking to turn their season around, with the addition of Miles Bridges to the roster. Brooks' ability to bring intangibles to the table, such as his consistent trash talk and physical edge, may be just what the team needs to get back on track. The Phoenix Suns' next game will be a crucial one, as they look to break their losing streak and get back to winning ways. With Brooks leading the charge, the team will be looking to use his motivation and energy to drive them forward. The recent loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on 2026-04-28 will still be fresh in their minds, but they will be looking to put that behind them and focus on the games ahead. The Phoenix Suns' fans will be hoping that Brooks' comments will be the catalyst for a turnaround in the team's fortunes, and that they will be able to start winning again soon.
