On April 20, 2023, Dillon made his sentiments about Lebron James clear in a post-game interview after the pair had an on-court confrontation.

“I don’t care, he’s old,” Dillon said to a reporter when asked about fans’ feelings about him disrespecting Lebron. “He wanted to say something when I got my fourth foul. He should have been saying something early on, but I poke bears."

Dillon continued, "I don’t respect anyone until they come and give me 40 [points]. He’s not at the same level he was when he was with Cleveland and winning championships with Miami.”

Dillon went on to share that everyone in the NBA knows what he brings to the table defensively and he will continue to do so and push his teammates to be better.
