Dillon Brooks: 25 Points, Zero Everything Else!
24 Dec
Summary
- Dillon Brooks scored 25 points with no rebounds, assists, or turnovers.
- This unique stat line has only been achieved by six NBA players.
- Brooks followed advice to show respect and avoid altercations.
Dillon Brooks showcased an unusual scoring explosion for the Phoenix Suns, netting 25 points in a recent victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. His performance was distinguished by a complete absence of traditional stats like rebounds, assists, steals, blocked shots, and turnovers, a stat line achieved by only five other NBA players since 1977.
Brooks' unique stat line included zero rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and turnovers, a stark contrast to his usual "dirty work" reputation. This efficiency, however, was exactly what the Suns needed, as his 25 points came on 10-of-15 shooting in just 24 minutes of play.
Following advice from former player Rex Chapman to "show respect," Brooks managed his interactions with LeBron James differently than in past matchups. Despite the unusual stat sheet, his offensive output was highly effective for the Suns in securing an important divisional win.
