Dillon Brooks has once again taken aim at LeBron James, labeling the Los Angeles Lakers superstar as the NBA's most overrated player during a recent online appearance.

The Phoenix Suns wing made the remark during a live stream hosted by N3on, continuing a rivalry that has spanned the past multiple seasons.
"Overrated? I'll probably say LeBron right now," Brooks said. "I feel like he's overrated right now. I feel like his time is coming to an end."
The friction between the two dates back to Brooks' days with the Memphis Grizzlies, particularly during their heated first-round playoff matchup against the Lakers in 2023.
Since then, their on-court encounters have remained tense.
That animosity resurfaced on Dec. 14, when the Lakers defeated the Suns 116-114 in a game that ended with Brooks being ejected.
Even so, the Canadian acknowledged James' longevity and unprecedented 23rd season.
"One of the legends. You gotta respect him in that aspect for sure."
