Now with the Rockets, Brooks embraces the challenge of guarding the 38-year-old James, vowing to make him work for every point.
“I’m ready to lock him up. He’s been shooting the ball well, playing well, so I’m just there to make him tired, make him get into that 4th quarter early,” Brooks said, via ClutchPoints.
