Brook Lopez Appreciation Thread

Thanks for the fantastic memories Brook! At his peak, truly a difference maker with his rim defence and 3 pt shooting. Amazing to look back and see his transformation from the player he was in his early years to what he became at Milwaukee.

Champion Buck forever.

Brook was so unselfish and appreciative of his teammates. I will never forget that day at Fiserv his mouthing in wonder, “Fifty Piece” in appreciation of Giannis’ 50 points in our nba championship win after 50 years. A consummate team person. A great player. I will miss him very much.

I hope a lot that the Bucks will retire his jersey.

I am happy he got a good last contract. He deserves it.

I have him ahead of Midds and Jrue. For a guy we got for $3m/1yr...

A true professional and great teammate. Best of luck to him in Disneyworld.

This one hurts just as much as losing Khris. Khris was here from the beginning, but Brook and Bud came here 7-years ago and completely flipped the culture of this franchise. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he still has a few more years left in the tank, so I'm not ruling out a reunion in a couple years and he gets to fittingly retire a Buck.

Brook is the best example I can think of, in terms of completely reinventing yourself as a player. He started his career as a post up scorer. Then became a rim protecting, stretch 5. The only thing that stayed constant was the mascot abuse. Thanks for the great times, Brook.

Brook is an all-time Buck. Me souring on him over the past couple seasons had nothing to do with him, and everything to do with our coaching staff. I'm happy my favorite team can now reach its full potential on defense. I wish Brook nothing but the best, professionally and personally.

I hope he gets legit consideration for the Hall of Fame. The guy put up numbers and sacrificed at the same time. Great team player.

Well, now the Bucks are down from 3 separate franchise scoring leaders to 1 after just 48 hours.

Crazy.

The block on Durant in OT with a minute left in a tie game is one of the greatest unsung plays in Bucks history.

Same. I'm a huge fan since he was here in Milwaukee. KAJ, Lanier, Sikma, Lopez.

Brook was a ton of fun as a Buck. Just an easy guy to root for and a huge presence on the championship run.

For Brook, I want a montage of every wrong foul called against him during a monster defensive play.

We can sign his brother if we want a living reminder of Brook that costs nothing.

The blocks, the threes, the wrestling pre-game in the championship year. The mascot battles. The never being used down low as much as he could have been, probably because there was someone else there.

Love you, you gigantic legend.

Robin getting traded and showing up courtside reading a book the whole game was great
