I answered @rolopez42,” Leonsis <a href="https://twitter.com/TedLeonsis/status/1338149862634819591">recalled</a>. “Stanford educated, wry, curious, attention to details, great sense of recall. And most ironic sense of pre-game ritual in NBA. Takes up space on floor to allow others to rebound.”</blockquote><p>The Wizards signed Lopez to a one-year, $7.3 million contract in November, marking the veteran center’s seventh team in 13 seasons.</p><p>Last season with the Milwaukee Bucks, Robin got to play with his brother, Brook, for the first time since their Stanford days. Robin averaged 13.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per-36 minutes in 2019-20. As Hughes notes, he led the NBA in box-outs per-36 minutes.</p><p>Lopez is already impressing his teammates and coaches with his affinity for rebound positioning.</p><blockquote>“I know it’s an extremely desirable talent from the youngins’ all the way to the elders,” Lopez said, <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/wizards/wizards-big-man-robin-lopez-explains-sexy-art-boxing-out">via Hughes</a>. “Everybody loves boxing out. It’s their favorite thing to talk about. It’s a sexy thing, really, when you figure out how to do it.”</blockquote><p>Celebrity Jeopardy last aired in 2015. If and when it does return (with a new host, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-aaron-rodgers-reacts-to-the-passing-of-longtime-jeopardy-host-alex-trebek/">RIP Mr. Trebek</a>), Lopez can hopefully represent the NBA on an episode, if he’s interested.</p><p>And, if the category is anything related to <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/former-bull-robin-lopez-loving-life-milwaukee-buck-disney-world">Disney movies</a>, the other contestants wouldn’t stand a chance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He could, however, potentially be looking at an increased role for Washington’s front court.</p><p>This Lopez signing has been overshadowed by a slew of rumors coming out of D.C., with none bigger than the report that superstar point guard John Wall has reportedly <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-news-john-wall-demands-trade-amid-failed-russell-westbrook-trade/" rel="noopener noreferrer">demanded for a trade</a>. Wall’s rumored move to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Russell Westbrook has supposedly fallen through, but it does not appear to be completely dead at this point. Despite coming off a year on the sidelines due to an Achilles injury, Wall should still have no shortage of suitors in the market.</p><p>For his part, Lopez might not get a chance to play alongside Washington’s former cornerstone superstar. He will, however, be able to link up with the Wizards’ current franchise player in Bradley Beal.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Why did I just find out the @WashWizards were sponsored by @GEICO The Universe is so poetic you guys

So the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Fantastic Four and Bendis/Bagley Ultimate Spider-Man are the longest Marvel Comics runs by a single creative team. What's the longest DC Comics run? I must be blanking...Twitter, help!!!

I can only assume the NBA didn't send me along to meet the Pope because they figured I'd get to eventually meet him after discovering the Ark of the Covenant or saving his life on a Carnival cruise ship or starring in Mission Impossible IX or something. Good thinking!

So excited to be a part of the Wizards family! I'm blessed to be going from one fantastic organization to another top notch organization. I wanna thank everybody in Milwaukee for my time there, but I can't wait for what lies ahead in DC!!!

Currently cleaning up my Disney Room and putting away some excess Toy Story toys. As I look into their eyes I feel like a horrible human being. I fear revenge and retaliation, and who could blame them?
