Dillon Brooks has antagonized a number of NBA stars, and that now includes Hollywood actors.
Ben Stiller took issue with Brooks’ comments about how didn’t respect LeBron James because he’d never scored 40 points on Brooks.
The director and star of “Zoolander” and “Tropic Thunder” isn’t even a Lakers fan, and yet Brooks has managed to get under his skin as well. Of course, Brooks would probably say he didn’t respect Stiller because he’d never directed a blockbuster film with Brooks in it, or say that Stiller was “just another Tenenbaum to me.”
Perhaps Stiller still feels loyalty to James after replicating his pre-game powder toss for an NBA commercial last year. (Brooks doesn’t respect anyone until they throw powder in his face 40 times.)
Based on his Twitter account, Stiller is spending a lot of time watching the NBA playoffs, and live-tweeting games of his beloved New York Knicks.
He’s also weighing in on other games.
However, Stiller and Brooks might have more in common than the actor thinks. Check out the Grizzlies’ entrance from last month.
Compare that to the entrance of Stiller’s Globo Gym Purple Cobras from “Dodgeball.”
And the right-hand dominant Brooks and supermodel Derek Zoolander have the same weakness, whether it’s driving to the hoop or walking the runway: They’re not good going left.
