Robin Lopez Out As Brook Lopez’s Brother, Mamadi Diakte In
Milwaukee Bucks had a great win yesterday beating up the Atlanta Hawks, 120-109. It was a solid win for the Bucks where they had control of the game for most of it. One of the best players in the game was Brook Lopez who had 18 points and 12 rebounds. Lopez had the pleasure to join the TNT crew after the game to talk about his performance. While doing that, Brook was joined by a photobombing Mamdi Diakte. Naturally, Charles Barkley did not know who he was and asked Brook what’s going on here. Lopez explained that Diakte is his new little brother, not Robin.
"Who is that ugly dude standing next to you?"

This is a tough look for Robin obviously. The twin brother turned his back on him and joining up with another member of the Bucks’ team. Robin currently plays for Washington but could not have liked hearing the news about this new friendship. Weirdly, this speaks to what we’ve heard about the veterans’ love for Diakte. He seems like the favorite young guy of the group and is determined to get better. Let’s hope Milwaukee holds on to him for a couple of years.
Charlie.
