The Ballad of Brook Lopez

Birth to now — the making of a legend, narrated and scored.

April 1, 1988

The beginning

One of the most unusual career arcs for a big man, Brook Lopez went from a back-to-the-basket Nets franchise scorer to a floor-spacing, rim-protecting cornerstone on a championship team.

Los Angeles Clippers

Turning pro

Drafted 2008 Round 1, Pick 10 (New Jersey Nets) as a Center.

true

Brook Lopez rebuilt himself from a post-up scorer into a stretch-five champion.

Chapter

Drafted 10th in 2008, he became the Nets' all-time leading scorer and a 2013 All-Star before foot injuries and a shifting league forced a reinvention.

Chapter

He added the three-point shot, and in Milwaukee became a floor-spacing, shot-blocking anchor — winning the 2021 title and making two All-Defensive teams.

Off the Court

Brook and his twin Robin are famous Disney enthusiasts — a fandom that helped inspire his 'Splash Mountain' nickname once he started raining threes in Milwaukee. He's also known for a love of comic books and pop culture.

He comes from a basketball family; a maternal grandfather played in the National Industrial Basketball League, and brother Alex played college and pro ball abroad.

The person

Cerebral, quirky and adaptable, Lopez reinvented his game entirely to stay elite deep into his 30s.
