As his Los Angeles Lakers picked up a key road NBA playoff win to start its series against the Memphis Grizzlies, LeBron James couldn’t help but have a little fun.
As Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks went to get some insight from Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins, James walked over to the sideline and pretended to lean in and act like he was listening to their conversation.
Brooks has a beef with James as the former has established himself as one of the league’s most gleeful villains. As you could imagine, James wasn’t about to pass up a moment to get in some trolling in Brooks’ direction.

While not all of James’ on-court antics work, this one was pretty hilarious. He had a playoff victory over a new rival to show for it, so the Grizzlies will have to hand it to James this round. He’s officially 1-0 in trolling for the series so far.
