Brook Lopez

“I'm kind of the Robin Lopez Kryptonite, and there's a lot of Robin Lopez Kryptonite in the world.”

“I am confident in my game that I can contribute when I am on the floor.”

“There's definitely a learning curve to each coach, no question. They come in with their systems, their philosophies. I'm a super coachable guy, trying to put the team first and do what they require of me.”

“I guess you just have to embrace aging, right?”

“I would want to own property in Bespin.”

“I'm not the quickest guy in the world, so I figured if I beat a guy off the dribble, I kind of want to get my space and get my shot up fairly quick - not rush my shot or anything, but just get to my spot where I can make it and they have no chance of contesting it.”

“I love Hawkeye. I think it has something to with how he's such a marksman from far away. That's something I'd love to be on the court.”

“I'm a little disappointed in my rebounding.”

“I don't think I'm soft. I don't think my teammates think I'm soft. I don't know where that comes from, but... whatever.”

“Who hasn't dreamed of being a superhero? I don't know what my superhero name would be, but my power? I would have to say time travel.”

“I was raised just by my mom. That's the way it was. It was normal to me.”

“I'm not gonna talk-trash and that's the bottom line.”

“We were really going with what worked at Stanford. It was difficult for players to 'D' me up in the post, so that was a strength of ours and we just pounded it in the block.”

“I think one of the coolest things, really a blessing of being in the league, is just being able to travel so much. You're fortunate that you don't have to pay for the traveling usually or anything like that.”

“Robin could be a backup, to maybe Tim Duncan. That's cool. It's possible, probably unlikely, but it's his dream.”

“I was always a big Ken Griffey Jr. fan growing up.”

“Robin is a really good defender, runs well, dribbles the ball and plays hard and does whatever a coach wants him to do.”

“Sometimes I just go into Shakespearean sonnets and end it with a nice little couplet.”

“The Nets are the only place I want to be.”

“I am who I am. I'm not going to go out of my way to impress anybody for a sponsorship. I'm not going to change who I am for a sponsorship.”
