After losing his team's series against the Lakers in the NBA playoffs, Dillon Brooks has spoken out about his taunting of LeBron James.

Despite the Grizzlies' defeat, Brooks has doubled down on his insults and claimed he does not regret targeting James.

In Game 2 of the series, Brooks called James 'old' and claimed he did not respect him. He was then ejected from Game 3 after hitting James in the groin.

Following their first-round victory, James took to social media to celebrate.

Brooks, who was fined $25,000 for refusing to speak to the media after all of his team's road losses to the Lakers, has now finally responded. 'No, that's who I am,' he was quoted as saying by Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Although the Lakers have struggled this season, they won the series against the Grizzlies in six games, and James scored 22 points in their 123-85 victory in Game 6.

Despite the loss, Brooks does not appear to be backing down, while James is gearing up for the next round of the playoffs against the Golden State Warriors.

Brooks' future with the Grizzlies is uncertain, as he appears to be headed for free agency in the upcoming offseason.

Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman did not reference Brooks directly, but admitted he believes 'self-created distractions' did not help the team.

He added that they will take a different approach to trash talk next season, but also emphasized the importance of confidence.

While Brooks licks his wounds and considers his future, James is looking forward to the next round of the playoffs.

The first game of the Western Conference semifinals series against the Golden State Warriors will take place on Tuesday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Photo: Bronny James / Instagram   The Los Angeles Lakers, known for their legendary players and rich history, have made headlines again. This time, it’s not because of LeBron James, but his son, Bronny James . Bronny, who recently joined the Lakers, has already made history—but not for his basketball skills just yet. Bronny and LeBron became the first father-son duo to play for the same NBA team. While Bronny’s time on the court is just beginning, he’s breaking records off the court. His jersey sales have skyrocketed , setting a new Lakers record that even the biggest stars couldn’t reach. After Bronny’s draft, over 500,000 of his jerseys sold, each priced at around $100.
