Dillon Brooks names Jimmy Butler as ideal boxing opponent

Dillon Brooks of the Suns indicated that he would choose to box Jimmy Butler if the opportunity arose. During an appearance on N3on's Kick stream, Brooks mentioned lingering animosity stemming from past interactions on the court, particularly during a heated playoff series between the Rockets and Warriors last year. While Brooks acknowledged that their rivalry is primarily basketball-related, he expressed feelings that certain incidents escalated beyond the game. The two have not faced each other in recent action due to Butler's injury issues, though Brooks noted he believes Butler is close to returning to play. The potential for renewed competition between them could arise soon as both players are set to compete in the upcoming NBA season.
