Lopez just posted this old picture on his instagram: and it prompted me to look up this old article: Lopez's text with the instagram picture was: Clearly Disney looms large in his life. Although not, apparently, as large as Michael Jackson...
I'm not sure why, but this makes me like him even more. Perhaps, it's the fact that his mom was a single mom and a teacher (big props to her for raising two boys on a teacher's salary), or the fact that he read older versions of Cinderella and didn't just watch the Disney movie. BNM
This picture is fucking great. The Michael jackson idolatry makes me even like them more. Let's bring in Brook to backup Robin, ok Neil?
After seeing that photo, I would not be the least bit surprised if, at some point in the future, Brook and Robin pool their resources and buy the Neverland Ranch. BNM
I posted these in the offseason thread but they bear repeating: An example of Robin's artwork (it's Aubrey Plaza, apparently):
Apart from the Suns game, I've been very pleased with Lopez. He seems to be something of a no-stats all-star (like Freeland) in that you watch and you really notice him doing a bunch of good stuff but then he's kind of a non-entity in the boxscore. For one example: Wes was able to saunter in for a dunk (Wes can dunk now!) because Lopez was screening off Duncan so effectively. And it's obvious that our improved rebounding is because of his box-out skills. So even though his rebounding looks anemic compared with JJ's, it's actually allowed us to be much better as a team (I think the same was true of Duckworth back in the day). I'm happier about him every time I watch, even though his numbers look way down from his time in New Orleans.
I agree. His rebound numbers haven't been amazing, but Wes had a career high against Denver, Dame had 7 boards last night, and Batum is rebounding like a madman. I'm sure this is a result of Lopez (and Freeland).
