Klay Thompson says no one ‘will ever talk about Dillon Brooks’ after he retires as the Warriors guard taunted the Grizzlies forward over his number of titles despite Memphis beating Golden State
The never-ending feud between the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies added another chapter last night as a beatdown drew to a close.
In the final seconds of the Grizzlies’ 133-119 win over the Warriors, Golden State guard Klay Thompson reminded the Memphis bench who has more titles.
Thompson began jawing with Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks and started to count on his fingers up to four – indicating the number of NBA rings he has.
Brooks yelled back, telling Thompson ‘You suck’ as the clock wound down on the victory.
Post-game, Thompson blasted Brooks – whose comments have gotten under the skin of many Golden State players in the past two seasons.Â

As the seconds ticked down on the loss, Thompson held up four fingers – signifying his titles
‘When he retires, I don’t think anyone will ever talk about Dillon Brooks ever again,’ Thompson told The Commercial Appeal. ‘I promise you. It’s sweet right now, but wait 10 years.’
Warriors star guard Steph Curry was guarded by Brooks during the game and hit the least amount of points he’s had in a game since mid-January.
Curry told reporters after the game that ‘we played the whole Memphis Grizzlies, not just him.’
While that may be the case, Brooks did more than enough to ensure the Warriors lost three straight games.Â
He managed 18 points, three rebounds and three assists on a team that is still without Ja Morant – who is set to come back to the team after a suspension from the league on Monday.Â
‘We want a ring as well,’ Brooks said. ‘But we needed to go through the process of steps that we did last year, and keep going and learning from it all. It’s friendly trash talk, but I just hold a lot of real estate over there in San Francisco.’
He told another reporter, ‘it’s easy to get ready’ for a game against the Warriors because of Thompson and Draymond Green ‘talking’ — adding that he was ready despite only getting four hours of sleep the night before.
It was the last meeting of the season between these two teams – with the regular season four-game series being split evenly.
Brooks responded, mocking Thompson for sitting on the bench and yelling ‘You’re trash’

Ever since these two teams’ collision course in the NBA Playoffs last season, animosity has grown between the squads.Â
Their last game saw a tense moment between Brooks and Draymond Green – with Green saying that Brooks tried to ‘bait’ him into drawing a foul.
That pair had tussled before on the court – bumping heads after tough layup.
Both teams have been asked if there’s a rivalry between them – with Curry saying back on March 14, ‘I don’t want to be short, but … no,’ according to NBC Sports.
