Dillon Brooks continues to draw attention during the offseason. First, he showed up to see LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers get eliminated by the Oklahoma City Thunder, which produced a viral meme. Next, he formed a partnership with Underdog Sports, making fun of NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s flopping, which prompted SGA’s team to send a cease-and-desist letter to Underdog.
Now, he’s completed flight school, according to his Instagram. Posts about his accomplishment have received more than
a million views online.
While the Suns have been eliminated for about a month and a half now, Brooks seems to be enjoying the public spotlight he’s put himself in since the Suns have been eliminated, as he keeps sharing what’s new in his life.
Now 30 years old, he’s entering his second season with Phoenix, has one more year left on his deal, and is eligible for a 4-year, $125 million extension. He was one of the main reasons the Suns surprised many this season, averaging a career-high 20 points per game and bringing defensive energy and tenacity to the squad. The team acquired him along with Jalen Green and Khaman Maluach when they dealt Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets last offseason.
Just like he did in the regular season and playoffs, Brooks and his actions remain a topic of conversation.
