Robin Lopez is a good player - some would even argue the best player in last week's trade that sent Derrick Rose from the Chicago Bulls to the New York Knicks - but he's often second fiddle to his twin brother Brook of the Brooklyn Nets.
Even Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg got confused during a news conference Monday.
Hoiberg is excited about the addition of Brook Lopez. Yes, he said Brook.

Fred Hoiberg just made the error a lot of us in media have and will: referred to Robin Lopez as “Brook"

While splitting up the Lopez brothers is undoubtedly a loss for comedy in New York City, it's a gain for Chicago - whichever center it is.
