Brook Lopez wants to stay with Bucks long-term
“I love it here,” Lopez told HoopsHype when asked about his long-term future after the Bucks defeated the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Monday. “I’m so thankful for the opportunity the Bucks gave me five years ago to come here and be a part of something special. We’ve had a great time. I can’t imagine being anywhere else.”

This has turned into a heck of a game. Jalen Brunson is now up to 32 points after hitting a 3 when Brook Lopez hesitated to step out on a switch, and New York leads 94-92 with 4:18 to go.
Brunson, Julius Randle (24) and Immanuel Quickley (23) have scored 79 of NY’s 94 points. – 9:40 PM

“In my opinion, and probably Jrue’s, he’s the Defensive Player of the Year,” Antetokounmpo said as Jrue Holiday interjected, saying, “100 percent.” “No doubt,” Antetokounmpo continued. “He’s 34 years old. It’s insane how he’s playing right now. We need him to play this way for 60 more games.” -via HoopsHype / January 11, 2023
“It’s definitely a goal of mine,” Lopez told HoopsHype when asked about his Defensive Player of the Year candidacy. “Obviously, I’m a team-first player who wants the team to be successful. We want to win a championship. That’s our main goal. It definitely would be a personal point of pride for me, and it’s a goal for myself.” -via HoopsHype / January 11, 2023
