Brooks message to fans following elimination:

It’s easy for a player to loved when the team is winning and he’s successful. However, as the team began to struggle in the second half of the season, Brooks would be sidelined with a fractured left hand. It continued to get worse for the nine-year pro when he got arrested for a DUI on March 6th, which TMZ released the full police body cam footage for the internet to see.

Despite those bumps in the road, Brooks’ support from the fans never wavered. That level of loyalty remained the same before and after the injury and DUI, and even with the team eliminated, fans’ love for the Villain is at an All-Time high. Brooks helped restore faith into the franchise after one of the most embarrassing seasons last year. He is entering the final year of his contract, but his production and influence on the team could see Brooks remain with the Suns for a long time.
