Robin Lopez beats up the Toronto Raptor over a crossword puzzle

Robin Lopez will not stop beating up the Raptor (or mascots, in general.) Before the Raptors faced the Knicks Thursday night, the Raptor tried to solve his crossword puzzle in front of Robin Lopez. The hint: “Best basketball player with the last name Lopez.” The Raptor’s answer: Robin’s brother, Brook.

Commence the beatdown, Robin:

Robin Lopez, the saltiest. #WeTheNorth

Given Lopez’s history with the Raptor ...

... we can expect more scuffles between the two -- and really, more scuffles between Robin and every NBA mascot. He’s paid to be an NBA player, but his true love is beating up mascots.
