We have a big one coming up on Tuesday night. The Memphis Grizzlies the Los Angeles Lakers at the FedEx Forum in what is expected to be quite a feisty encounter.
The last time these two teams met in LA, Dillon Brooks was front and center in what turned out to be a highly-publicized on-court altercation with broadcaster Shannon Sharpe. The brouhaha eventually ended peacefully, but there's no denying that Brooks made quite a name for himself (again) in the eyes of Lakers fans everywhere.
In true Dillon Brooks fashion, the 27-year-old arrived in the arena on Tuesday in style. I mean this literally as Brooks dawned what can only be described as a WWE-like outfit that is reminiscent of the great Stone Cold Steve Austin:

I've been covering the NBA for many years now, and I have to say, I don't quite remember seeing anything like this in the past. I was a big fan of the WWE as a kid and Stone Cold was one of my biggest heroes. To be fair, Dillon Brooks has done the wrestling icon justice here. The only things missing are the title belt on his shoulder and a can of beer in his hand.
It would seem that Brooks is sending a message to the Lakers here. He might be all smiles as he walked into the FedEx Forum, but you can be sure that this man will be looking to hit his opponents with a Stone Cold Stunner once they meet each other on the court — at least figuratively (I think?).
