Steven Adams made an interesting comparison, when discussing Houston Rockets defensive wing Dillon Brooks.
But his teammates love him, because he lays it all on the line. Steven Adams, who played with Brooks when the two played for the Memphis Grizzlies, became the latest to defend the wing, joining Amen Thompson.and shared his thoughts on his Rockets teammate, comparing him to Russell Westbrook, who he played with during Westbrook's prime.
"He’s cool. Super nice guy off the court… It reminds me of Russ lowkey. Everyone’s got this court persona, and think that that’s how they are all the time, and it’s not. It’s literally like a switch. So, like Dillon, you’re playing 82 games, and this guy comes in hot every game. It actually helps him out, psyches him up, it actually gets him prepared to play the game. That game, that night… That’s the type of player you want on your side."
Adams and Brooks played together from 2021-23, helping the Grizzlies capture the second seed in the Western Conference each year. Adams was traded to the Rockets at the trade deadline last season, giving the franchise a defensive enforcer, much like Brooks.
