Overview

  • The Suns wing made the claim during a livestream with streamer Rangesh “N3on” Mutama, and clips of the exchange spread widely online.
  • Brooks suggested James should pass the face-of-the-league mantle to international stars such as Luka Dončić or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
  • The rivalry traces to 2023 and flared on Dec. 14, when sustained trash talk preceded Brooks’ late ejection in the Lakers’ 116-114 win over Phoenix.
  • Coverage as of early Feb. 1 reported no immediate public response from James to Brooks’ latest comments.
  • James, 41, is averaging 21.9 points, 6.6 assists and 5.8 rebounds this season, while Brooks is producing a career-best 21.1 points per game for Phoenix.
