WATCH: Dillon Brooks Taunts Tyrese Haliburton

Establishing himself as one of the league's biggest villains during his time on the Memphis Grizzlies, Dillon Books has brought this same approach to the Houston Rockets. Never afraid to get under the skin of his opponents, Brooks is always looking for ways to get a mental edge.

Facing off against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night, Brooks stood over Tyrese Haliburton after scoring a bucket off a pass from Jalen Green:

Haliburton has been one of the best players in the NBA this season, taking an even bigger leap from his breakout campaign a year ago. Looking to get under his skin a bit, Brooks stood over Haliburton after this bucket.

As previously mentioned, this is how Brooks approaches the game. His villain mentality has helped make him who he is, and has also helped his teams establish an identity. This was important for a Rockets team that was without a solid identity the last few seasons, and part of why they have been more competitive this season.

The Rockets have been much better this season than they were the last couple years, and what Brooks has brought on both ends is a big reason why. While he has his limitations on offense, Brooks has the ability to get going on that end, and will always bring it on defense.
