It has been a toxic season for the Chicago Bulls. Apart from socking each other in the face, the Bulls are just 1-3 to start the 2017-18 campaign. The latter is to be expected of them, as that’s what’s supposed to happen to a team that lost its key players from last year over the summer in Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade, and Rajon Rondo.

The exodus of stars left the Bulls with Robin Lopez as arguably their best player. Imagine the mismanagement and futility of Chicago’s front office for them to arrive at a point where people view Lopez as the team’s best player.

Robin Lopez isn’t losing hope, however. He believes that the Bulls will rise from the challenges and not regularly take a 20-point loss. He believes that he could carry the team to a winning record. He believes that Nikola Mirotic and Bobby Portis will be best of friends. Above all these, Lopez believes in Britney Spears.

Huh?

See, Lopez keeps a framed photo of Britney Spears in his locker, which he shared with the world through a Twitter post that comes with a #IMustConfessIStillBelieve – a lyric from Spears’ hit song “Baby One More Time.”

What is with NBA big men these days that makes them dig bubblegum music?

We must feel for RoLo. The Bulls don’t look like they’re going somewhere this season, but Robin Lopez has no choice but to stomach the turbulence. Honestly, we won’t be shocked if Lopez tweets next time another photo of Spears with an accompanying #IWannaGo hashtag.
