On the night of February 28, 2023, Memphis Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks decided to pay homage to WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin. Believe it or not, Brooks showed up to FedEx Forum for the Grizzlies' upcoming matchup Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers dressed like the iconic wrestler. While it was admirable for Brooks to pay homage to a well-known legend, his attempt at the outfit was dismally inaccurate. Brooks chose to pair his black vest and jean shorts with a pair of red and white kicks, along with sunglasses.

The attempted look was quickly pooh-poohed by NBA fans. One fan went as far as to call it "defamation of character," while another cited Portland's Damian Lillard as the better homage-payer. In the end, the outfit choice landed Brooks more in the hot seat than Stone Cold Steve Austin could have ever prepared him for.
