Dillon Brooks has once again found himself at the center of internet hilarity. During last night’s game against the Miami Heat, Brooks delivered a moment that fans are calling “instant karma”—and it’s quickly become one of the most talked-about highlights of the night.
The incident occurred in the first quarter after Brooks scored a layup. Brimming with confidence, he began backpedaling down the court while passionately trash-talking Heat fans seated courtside. However, Brooks suddenly lost his footing and fell backward onto the hardwood. The unexpected tumble left fans in the arena and on social media in stitches.
