Transcript

Heidi, guarded by Dillon Brooks, ends up going to the ground and Brooks starts chirping. Blopping ass man. That's what you have to do. You fucking suck, boy. You do the same thing. Remember I told you that you was never that guy. No, you wish blah blah blah. Honestly, a bunch of this conversation didn't make sense. I think Brooks was just yapping trying to get under Katie's skin. My my my worst season better than your best season. Immediately after dropping that bar, he drops Dillon Brooks. Tier, pull up. Brooks, down. Bucket. Good.
