About this episode

Brook and Robin Lopez discuss their unique upbringing, NBA careers, and shared love for animation and Disney.

Brook and Robin Lopez are known as the powerhouse twins of the NBA... but they'd prefer to be thought of more as the real life Chip 'n' Dale (you know, if they were seven feet tall).As lovable and wild as they are competitive, Brook and Robin get into how they became inseparable - from an upbringing that included them being literally leashed together as kids, their brothers making them duke it out, and what it was like playing each other as they were coming up as teammates and NBA rivals. The brothers also reveal the origins of their lifelong passion for animation, what the perks of being NBA stars are for them (like attending a dream come true table read of "The Simpsons"), and how much of their lives off the court revolves around their shared love of Disney - including Brook meeting his now wife at Disney World's Animal Kingdom and buying homes at Magic Kingdom on both coasts.
