Team USA will face off against Canada for the bronze medal in the FIBA World Cup on Sunday. Former Memphis Grizzlies teammates Dillon Brooks and Jaren Jackson Jr. will be on opposite sides. The 2023 NBA Defensive Player of the Year is expecting Dillon Brooks to trash talk, as he usually does.
“I hope Dillon [Brooks] does talk trash,” said Jaren Jackson Jr. of his former bear-poking Memphis Grizzlies teammate and Canada guard. “Otherwise it wouldn’t be him. It wouldn’t be real.”

The stakes are high for this contest, so you’d best bet that Dillon Brooks will be talking.
