Dillon Brooks, who has been feuding with LeBron James, this series, was ejected for hitting The King in the groin during the third quarter of Saturday night’s Game 3 battle between the Lakers and Grizzlies in Los Angeles.

The series is tied at a game apiece.

The 27-year-old Grizzlies guard, who called the 38-year-old James “old” earlier in the series, was given a flagrant 2 foul for the shot and was bounced from the game.

Before the game, James clapped back at Brooks’ charge that he was past his prime.

“I’m not here for the bulls–t,” James said, according to ESPN. “I’m ready to play and that’s it.”

The Grizzlies defeated the Lakers 103-93 in Game 2; James had 28 points but he was 1-8 from 3-point range and the Lakers were outscored by 17 points while he was in the game.

After Memphis’ win on Wednesday, Brooks was blunt in his description of where he thinks James’ game is at now.

“I don’t care — he’s old. You know what I mean?” Brooks asked. “I was waiting for that. I was expecting him to do that Game 4, Game 5. He wanted to say something when I got my fourth foul. He should have been saying that earlier on. But I poke bears. I don’t respect no one until they come and give me 40.”

Needless to say, but now the rivalry between the two has been amped up after this latest incident.
