What is the ongoing beef between Dillon Brooks and Theo Pinson all about? Learn all there is to know about the beef.

Dillon Brooks is quickly forming a reputation for himself as one of the most controversial players in the league. The Memphis Grizzlies guard-forward barely gets through a game these days without getting involved in a verbal altercation or two, and his most recent altercation happened with the Dallas Mavericks’ Theo Pinson when the two teams met on Sunday night.

Dillon Brooks earned his 18th technical foul of the season for his comments at Theo Pinson

When Brooks was asked afterwards regarding the taunt he made at Pinson during the third quarter of the game, he said he wanted to let Pinson know he is just a cheerleader now. “I just wanted to let him know he was a cheerleader,” Brooks said. “Same class, I grew up watching him play, and he was a great player. Now he gets paid to cheerlead. I love it.”

Pinson responded to Brooks’ remarks, hilariously stating that he owns real estate in Brooks’ head. It has to be noted that there is history between the two, as Brooks and his Oregon Ducks had lost to Pinson’s Tar Heels in 2017. Pinson was a starter for North Carolina back then but is very much a bench player in the NBA now, having never started a game in his five-year career.

What punishment is Dillon Brooks set to serve for his technical foul?

Brooks has recently been suspended for one game without pay for receiving his 18th technical foul of the ongoing 2022-23 season.
