Did You Know?
Brooks is one of the rare Canadians drafted in the NBA who grew up playing basketball in Mississauga, Ontario — a city that has quietly produced several professional players.
During the 2023 NBA Playoffs, after being ejected for a flagrant foul on LeBron James, Brooks confidently told reporters he had no regrets — a moment that perfectly encapsulates his fearless competitor mentality.
Despite falling to pick 45 in the 2017 Draft, Brooks outperformed most players selected ahead of him, establishing himself as one of the premier defensive wings of his generation.
His nickname 'The Dog' was earned through years of accepting the toughest defensive assignments in the NBA — from James Harden to Steph Curry — and competing at maximum intensity regardless of the matchup.
