Dillon Brooks, after helping Team Canada win over Team USA, responded to the "villain" image about him, comparing it to Kobe Bryant's Black Mamba.
In the FIBA World Cup bronze medal match, Brooks excelled in overtime, helping Canada to a 127-118 victory over the United States. He shot 12 of 18 shots and 7-of-8 three-pointers for 39 points, as well as four rebounds and five assists.

Losing isn't a good thing for any basketball team when facing Team USA, but it's even more complicated when villain Dillon Brooks, who can be called one of the most controversial players in the NBA today, comes into focus.
Asked what it's like to play the villain, Brooks paid tribute to the late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. He laughed and said: "It's just a character and people love it. Brooks said, "It's a lot like Kobe, may he rest in peace." But Bryant had to create the Black Mamba, so I thought my character was the villain. ”
He also added: "But I am a caring person and I love my children, my family and my team-mates. ”
Despite the talent Canada is full of talent and hopes to win the game, Dillon Brooks, Shay Giljes Alexander and the entire team made history in Manila. They finished third at the FIBA World Cup, their first podium in men's basketball. This magnificent achievement is a source of pride for Canadian basketball fans.
In conclusion, Brooks not only excels in the game, but also plays a role, which makes him a unique presence in the basketball world. His villain image may make people think more, and the success of the Canadian team on the international stage will forever be etched in basketball history.
