00:00Ever wondered what makes Dylan Brooks such a formidable opponent on the court?
00:05Dylan Brooks, a forward for the Phoenix Suns, openly discussed the challenges he presents
00:10to his opponents on the basketball court during an interview on Thursday.
00:13He expressed, I'd be a little frustrated as well because I've surprised myself with some
00:17expletive too.
00:18While speaking with Arizona sports Burns and Gambo, Brooks emphasized his passion for basketball
00:23and noted that he plays with a unique intensity that can be overwhelming for some players.
00:28Some guys can handle it, some guys can't, he added.
00:32Known by the nickname Dylan the Villain throughout his nine-year career, Brooks recently had an
00:37impressive performance, scoring 22 points, along with four rebounds, three assists, and
00:43two steals in the Suns' 120-116 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
00:49During that game, he seemed to embrace his villain persona, engaging in a noticeable confrontation
00:55with Kings forward, DeMar DeRozan.
00:57Throughout his career, Brooks has developed a reputation for competing fiercely against
01:02some of the NBA's top players, including LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and Luka
01:07Doncic.
01:09Brooks expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity to compete against top players, emphasizing
01:13that he does not shy away from such challenges.
01:16I embrace the challenge and observe this game every day.
01:19I notice some players giving up, but I refuse to do so, Brooks stated.
01:24I analyze the game, and my goal is to stop you while making sure you feel my energy when
01:28I do.
01:29He also mentioned his desire for his energy to resonate throughout the Suns' team this
01:33season, highlighting that he felt this was evident during their recent game against the
01:38Kings.
01:38In that last game, you could see how contagious it is.
01:42Players who typically don't showcase their defensive skills or physicality stepped up and exceeded
01:47expectations, Brooks remarked.
01:49That's my role, and that's what I contribute.
01:52Looking ahead, the Suns are set to start a three-game road trip on Friday, where they
01:57will compete against former Suns players, Chris, Paul, and Bradley Beal, along with the
02:01Los Angeles Clippers, at the Intuit Dome at 7.30 p.m.
02:05Do you think his intense style of play is an asset or a liability for the Suns?
