Brooklyn Nets center & first Brooklyn Nets All-Star Brook Lopez released a statement through the Nets about his All-star Selection, the first of his career:
It’s a huge honor. First and foremost I couldn’t have done it without my teammates, they make my job 100 times easier, playing with Deron, Joe, Gerald, they gift wrap me buckets and take a lot of attention away from me on the court. Its is something I have been working towards and its been a goal of mine and it will definitely be an exciting weekend.
