The Villain was having none of it.
As part of the Phoenix Suns releasing their 2026-27 schedule, the team tapped forward Dillon Brooks to help make the announcement on its social media accounts on Aug. 13.
The video had a humorous twist that played on Brooks' ''Villain'' persona.
The video shows a crew preparing to record Brooks, who is standing on a basketball court at what appears to be the team's training center in East Phoenix. He waves off an offer for some water, then is handed a piece of paper that appears to be a script.
A member of the crew snaps a clapperboard and the director shouts ''action'' to begin taping
Brooks looks at the script, shakes his head, crumples the paper and tosses it away.
Then he looks at the camera and says: ''We play
everyone.''
The video then scrolls the schedule as Brooks continues glaring into the camera.
The video was clearly all in good fun.
Brooks joined the Suns last season after being acquired from the Houston Rockets in the Kevin Durant trade and proved a key figure in the team's turnaround that resulted in 45 wins and a playoff berth.
Brooks recently agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension with the Suns. He averaged a career-best 20.2 points per game last season.
