Dillon Brooks has been building a “bad boy” reputation in recent months.

He is probably the NBA’s premier “villain” at the moment, and there are very few fans who like him. The Canadian player recently signed an $86 million contract with the Houston Rockets. A figure considered excessive by many. Among them are many Canadians who are expected to support Brooks in the run-up to the World Cup, where Canada is bidding for an outright starring role.

Instead, during an exhibition game in his home country, Brooks received the chorus “overrated” from his countrymen. He responded with irony, clapping his hands in time, and then played an excellent game.
