Dillon Brooks of the Houston Rockets may want to avoid social media and sports TV on Monday.

He is still receiving a lot of negative attention after the way he was treated by Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night.

During one play, Curry moved with lightning-fast speed at the perimeter, leaving Brooks looking slow and confused.

Curry then sank an extraordinary three-pointer and ridiculed Brooks by making a lively and shocked reaction.

Altogether, it was perhaps the most viral moment of the season so far.

“You talk about making someone look completely silly and foolish,” Stephen A. Smith said about it on Monday’s “First Take.”

Smith could hardly contain his laughter as he watched Curry in awe.

This moment has become big for a number of reasons.

First, it is always fun to see Curry perform like this, even at 35 years old.

For years now, he has been one of the flashiest and most exciting players in the entire league.

Him posting exceptional three-pointers isn’t anything new – but it is always fun.

However, this certain play is getting even more attention because of who it involves.

Brooks became a big NBA villain last season due to his trash-talking, particularly toward the end of the season.

He called out LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, saying he was hoping to face them in the playoffs.

He did, and he lost.

Not only that, he ducked the media after those defeats, which garnered a lot of backlash.

This season, he’s on a brand new team but Brooks is still considered one of the most outspoken and unapologetic players in the Association.

So many fans are delighted to see him be humbled by Curry in such a memorable way.

This is one clip that will likely haunt Brooks for a long time.
