The 5 best moments this NBA season: Troll Edition

Robin Lopez is a constant source for all your trolling needs.

At first glance, you can tell that Lopez is trouble on the court. Crazy hair, lengthy physique, and the beard to tie it together. He just screams problems. Not only does he prove to be an issue during the action, but he is an issue for opposing players when the action stops. That, my friends, is where the trolling starts.

Lopez has mastered the art of trolling to the point that it no longer looks like it requires effort. It just comes so naturally to the seven footed big man.

Here is an example of what I’m talking about:

There is so much gold in this video that I’ll need to break it down for you.

First, Lopez loses his shoe. Not an uncommon thing to happen in the NBA. Second, Jae Crowder throws Lopez’s shoe out of bounds because it was, obviously, in his way. Clearly, this was unnecessary but it just adds to the excitement. Third, Lopez abruptly grabs Crowder and pushes him all the way back to his shoe. We’re now entering the troll phase.

Lopez bends down to pick up his shoe, but the goal was never to get the shoe back. The goal was to get revenge on Crowder for the thrown shoe. So, as Lopez is down “getting his shoe,” he unties Jae’s right shoe to show that he doesn’t play games.

Yeah, that’ll teach ’em, Lopez. You get ’em champ.

This has to be one of the more childish and silly antics in a playoff game. First, they stopped a game for a player to tie his shoe and then he unties an opposing players shoe. What a crazy sequence that was.
