Zion Williamson delivered a disrespectful gesture towards Dillon Brooks during the recent matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Houston Rockets.
Brooks, known for taking on the challenge of defending star players, found himself overpowered by the 284-pound Williamson. In a notable play in the third quarter, Williamson effortlessly posted up Brooks, executed a baby hook shot, and extended the Pelicans’ lead.

Following the successful move, Williamson taunted Brooks with the classic “too small” gesture right in front of him.
Despite Brooks’ efforts, the entire Rockets team seemed incapable of containing Williamson, as evidenced by the Pelicans’ 127-105 victory.

On the other hand, Brooks concluded the game with 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, struggling with a 2/6 shooting performance. The box score did not capture the likely blow to Brooks’ confidence after attempting to defend Williamson throughout the game.
