Brooklyn Nets: A Brief History of the Lopez Brothers

While you probably know Brook Lopez as the Brooklyn Nets’ star center and Robin Lopez as an NBA journeyman, at heart, they are just two twins from Los Angeles, California.

Following their time together at San Joaquin Memorial High School, the Cuban twins took their talents to Stanford. At Stanford, Brook had the better career, being named to the All-Pac-10 team and All-American Third Team in his sophomore year. Robin still managed a talented college career, being named to the All-Pac-10 Defensive Team.
