In a wide-ranging interview with Williamette Week, Portland Trail Blazers center and Brook Lopez DNA match Robin Lopez discusses growing up with the Nets center, as well as their shared interests, comic books (of course), and memberships. Here’s a glance at some of Robin’s Brook-related answers:
As many of you know, Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez has a twin brother, Robin, currently a center for the Portland Trail Blazers. The two are a goofy duo: they were born on April Fools’ Day (no, really) and have written both comic books and TV pilots together. Friday morning, before Lopez broke his foot […]
