Robin “Kosta Koufos 2.0” Lopez was drafted the same year as Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook. So why does it seem like he’s old as heck and going to retire soon? It’s just a feeling I get. I view those other two dudes as having a good chunk of their primes left, but not Robin. Is that a strand of grey I see in his beard?
He’s averaging more points than ever this year as one of the best players on one of the best NBA teams in the Chicagoland area. He’s probably tasked with doing a little too much, actually, but I’m not complaining. He’s been getting buckets all season, including plenty of buckets by means of his “Sky Hook”-esque flat-as-heck hook where he doesn’t even jump really. That thing is a work of art and I think I’ll have to make a hook-ilation to show it off at the end of the season.
