Dillon Brooks and the Grizzlies Continue to Embrace the Villain Role

Ethan Engellau Sports, Editor Everyone loves a good villain in basketball. Trae Young against the Knicks in 2021 was a viral sensation as Young was seen taunting the Madison Square Garden repeatedly, and even as a Knicks fan, I loved the intensity it brought to the series.
