NBA World Reacts to Dillon Brooks’s Ejection After Hitting LeBron James

Social media exploded on Saturday night following the ejection of Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks in the third quarter of Game 3 against the Lakers.

One game after Brooks became the center of attention for calling LeBron James  'old', the outspoken forward was tossed for striking James in the groin. The play was deemed a flagrant 2 foul by officials, resulting in an ejection.

The sixth-year guard finished with seven points on 3-of-13 shooting in 19 minutes.

Many believed that Brooks should have been ejected for his actions, while others humorously suggested that his ejection was actually in favor of the Lakers.

Here are some of the best reactions to the bizarre play in Saturday’s Game 3.
