Chapter 1: How did Brook and Robin Lopez's childhood shape their relationship?
Kings Network.
Welcome. I am very happy, excited to talk to both of these guys about their relationship. Robin Lopez, Brooke Lopez, you know how many years you have in the league together, right? Do you know the combination number of years in the NBA? Do you know the number?
I was always a fuzzy, so I left all the math stuff up to him.
He's 16 years. He's 18 years. It's a remarkable story. Twins, congratulations on all your success. I know you guys want to talk about comic books and Disney. We will get to that because I suspect you're overgrown toddlers in this way. Your love of Disney. is very strong.
Chapter 2: What unique experiences did the Lopez twins have growing up?
I haven't seen a lot like it. We'll get to that in a second, but I wanted to talk to you first about your relationship. So, Robin, what would you tell me is your relationship with Brooke? How would you articulate it to somebody who's a stranger?
How would I articulate it? I would say it's very active through Facebook Messenger. Um, we have, we don't have our own one-on-one. We do have our one-on-one chat because everybody, you know, everybody has chats, but the most active chat we have is a group of three or four friends. We don't really mess each other one-on-one, but through that group chat, um, we rib each other.
There's nothing super genuine exchange. I don't think anything needs to be, but, um, yeah, that's what I would say. Yeah, I mean, it's funny because, like he said, it's never really direct. Even if he's in the chat and I need something from him or I have to say something to him, it's, hey, Ryan, or hey, David, how about this idiot over here? Can you tell him this? Or I need this guy to do this.
Chapter 3: How did their love for Disney and animation begin?
Why won't he listen to me? You know, stuff like that for some reason. And Of course, we're closer than close can be, but we also don't really speak to each other that often. It just kind of makes us out to be cowards, I guess.
I don't think I'm understanding, though, because insults are the language of intimacy among men very often. I don't understand why you wouldn't be talking directly to each other.
Um, I don't know. I guess you're going to get some exclusive stuff here because this is exclusive to even the two of us. We can really air it out right now. Like, what's the deal, Robin? What's the deal, Robin? I've been waiting years to hear that. Wow. A real non-answer.
Chapter 4: What are the Lopez twins' favorite Disney memories?
Not even an answer, just a non-answer. Um... I don't know. Maybe it's just that I don't ever want to seem like, you know, I'm asking him for something or bothering him. So they're being a burden at all, you know. We always know that we'll be there for each other. We got each other's back at a moment. So it's drop of a hat. If anything needs to be done, anything needs to be taken care of.
You know, if something were to go down and, you know, us two kids grew up in North Hollywood and then have pretty much, you know, had silver spoons the rest of our life. Not silver spoons, but we've been comfortable. We've, you know, we are. Copper spoons? Copper spoons. Yes, yes.
Chapter 5: How do Brook and Robin balance their NBA careers with personal interests?
Our mom, you know, sacrificed everything to, you know, make our lives comfortable and to make ends meet. But, you know, if we were to somehow end up on the street somehow and it went down, we'd be there for each other. That's what I'm trying to say. What it kind of reminds me of, because definitely growing up, I think you were the aggressor, you were the bully.
Yeah.
He doesn't deny it. Yeah. What it reminds me of is Maid with Children. I think somebody, a creator on that show, succinctly summarized the family saying, they're always at each other's necks. Of course, I'm paraphrasing. They're always at each other's necks. But when somebody attacked the family, the family would respond as a whole.
But even though you're one minute younger, you are the little brother in this.
I'm the baby brother in the whole, yes. The dynamic, yeah.

Chapter 6: What challenges have the Lopez twins faced in their basketball careers?
To my mother, to my older brothers, yes.
And so how does that work? Take me through the earliest forms of this. Like when you're the little brother growing up, how does that, I mean, you're a minute younger. You're not really the little brother.
Right. Well, I think I would say there were just certain situations like, I guess like socially, for example, like I was the one who kind of spoke for us or spoke first in certain situations, right? You were the more meek one, the quieter one. And if we were friends, I would speak first, you know? And I did. I felt, even though we're twins, I felt like...
I had to do certain things for him, you know, being the big brother. And then I learned he'd been taking it and using it to his advantage for a long time around, it must have been seventh or eighth grade even maybe, where... For the longest time, he would have me, and this is an example of everything, he would say he didn't know how to hook up the Sega Genesis. We played Sega.
Chapter 7: How do the Lopez twins maintain their physical health as professional athletes?
We were Sega kids growing up, and we had Genesis for the longest time.
Hand me down from our brothers.
Yes, hand me down. He didn't know how to hook up the Sega Genesis. Couldn't figure it out. Brooke, would you do it? And so I would always set it up. Yeah, sure. Little brother, my twin little brother, I got you. Lo and behold, I have to stay at school one day a little longer than he does. I come home, and this guy's playing Sega Genesis all by himself. I'm like, okay. So he knows how to do it.
He's just been taking advantage of this little brother aspect we have, even though we're twins, older brother, younger brother. Totally took advantage of it.
Chapter 8: What future projects do the Lopez twins envision after basketball?
Baby the little brother.
What did the fights look like growing up?
Oh. They never got too physical. They were usually throwing shoes, throwing basketballs. I don't know how many coaches, professional players, GMs, guys we looked up to in the league growing up, when we finally got in the league, they'd be like, Oh, yeah, I remember you guys. You guys, you'd be at the St. No Classic, you know, and you'd be under the bleachers throwing shoes at each other.
Like, time and time again, I was always throwing shoes. We were on leashes when we were younger. Our mom had us on leashes, yeah. She said we would get in the gym or get wherever we were going, and we'd immediately run in opposite directions, so the leashes were the only answer.
How old are you? You were on actual leashes because she had to control the amount of adrenaline and hyperactivity that was going on.
So what's the age? I mean, we were toddlers at least. We got off the leashes, obviously, eventually. Eventually we managed to take the steps in life necessary to get off the leashes, yes. But we were still terrors. We were still absolute terrors. I don't know how many mascots.
I remember chasing, when Alex was at University of Washington, I remember chasing the Husky up the stands and pulling his tail so much. I got to the point where the Husky turned around And number one mascot rule, you can't talk. Number one mascot rule, I pulled this guy's tail so much it turned around. Hey, kid, stop pulling my tail.
So we were just, we were running around all these arenas and, you know, gyms, just like we own the place. It was a disaster. So we needed the leashes.
But not a lot of terrible fights. Me and my brother, there's a story of me chasing my brother. He pulled a knife on me. I chased him across the street in my underwear. I was, you know, you guys have to have some family memorable story.
