Dillon Brooks, longtime Warriors pest, earns praise from Steve Kerr, Draymond Green

PHOENIX — As the final seconds ticked away Friday night, Dillon Brooks raised his hands in celebration. The controversial Phoenix Suns forward then made his way across the court and embraced members of the Golden State Warriors. Steve Kerr stopped him.“He had great words to say to me — amazing,” Brooks said of the Golden State coach. “And I’m glad it was face-to-face. When somebody that usually says controversial or criticizing things comes to you and tells you how great of a job you’re doing … Because he’s seen me in Memphis, Houston, now Phoenix, obviously my whole career, to tell me that you’re doing great things, you’re changing cultures and you’re a great player, it meant a lot.”Advertisement
