Brothers are almost required to troll and tease one another. Brook Lopez is no stranger to this fact. The Milwaukee Bucks big man spoke with Alex Kennedy of HoopsHype to discuss his move and he took the opportunity to troll his brother. Robin Lopez plays for the Chicago Bulls and the twins are only an hour and a half away from one another now that Brook is in Milwaukee.
When asked if he was excited to be closer to his brother, Brook told Kennedy:
“Absolutely not. That may be the one negative thing about this move. (laughs)”
Obviously, Brook is just busting Robin's chops here. In fact, the two were even closer than this at one point earlier in their careers. Brook spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Nets. Part of that time was spent in New Jersey. His last five years with the organization were spent in Brooklyn.
During that time, Robin spent one season with the New York Knicks. So the twins are no strangers to being close to one another. They even considered living together during that time, but according to Kirsten Fleming of the New York Post, they couldn't because their cats didn't get along.
Seriously.
The two eccentric brothers aren't going to be bunking up anytime soon, but they will get to face each other a few times next season. The Bulls and the Bucks are both in the Central Division. The two will battle on the court much like their cats would in an apartment.
