Phoenix, Arizona – E be like say Dillon Brooks no sabi how to keep im hand wey no dey misbehave. The NBA don give am $25,000 fine for one lewd gesture wey he make during im team win against Indiana Pacers on top Thursday.
Na for the last minute of the game, after he don collect foul, Brooks land for ground, do some waka and carry im hand go lower body. E sure say that gesture fit confuse even the best of us (or just make dem laugh, if you sabi). Despite the wahala wey come from am, he still manage convert the and-1 free throw wey help the Suns take home 133-98 win.
As e be, this fine no dey come at any better time o! Brooks don dey shine bright like diamond for this season, as he don collect at least 16 points in three straight games before this one, after him don return from groin injury. Last last, he end that game with 32 points while him dey shoot 12-for-18. Talk about bad boy vibes, right?
But make we no forget say, this no be the first time Brooks dey pay for him hand movement. Last time wey e lose money na during im 2024-25 season with Houston Rockets. That one na for swear for TV when dem catch am for January. My guy dey collect fine like say na grocery bills.
Another player wey sabi this same fine wahala na Joel Embiid from Philadelphia 76ers. Dem don fine am before for using that same chop gesture wey WWE fans sabi well-o. No wonder him dey receive plenty support for social media from WWE stars like Triple H and Shawn Michaels after him don collect himself for gesture matter.
As e be, no be only Brooks dey waka this fine lane. Na so e be for him career. E don collect total of 105 incidents wey lead to $415,000 don waka from him pocket. But this season, the 29-year-old dey show say e mean business with averages of 20.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 steals in 29.1 minutes per game. Na career year for am, so e no go let one small fine change im game.
