Milwaukee Bucks: Key quotes, highlights from 2019-20 Media Day
By Adam McGee
Robin Lopez
Robin on how he sees his fit with the Bucks:
"“Any time I approach a team, since I’ve been little I’ve played with Brook, I’ve played with pretty good players, so I view myself as a role player who is going out there and trying to make everyone else better.”"
Robin on the opportunity to join the Bucks, and it being a surprise to his brother:
"“They’ve got a lot of great guys in this organization, it’s a great organization, a great mindset. So when the opportunity was presented to me, it was really hard to pass up. Brook and I aren’t talking that much so you best believe I didn’t run it by him first! I don’t have to run my decisions by Brook, I don’t think.”"
Robin on moving to a contender from a rebuilding team:
"“I think just about every in the NBA who’s made it this far is there because they’re a naturally competitive player, so I don’t think it’s too much of a step for me to say that people want to be on a winning team. That said, for myself, I try to stay as consistent as possible, so when I was in Chicago my mindset was how can I help everybody out there, what can be doing to make everybody better, and make it easier for everyone. And that’s my same mindset here. Obviously, they’ve had a lot of success and we’re trying to get farther than they got last year, but I’m trying to do all that I can to foster that.”"
