VIDEO: Brook Lopez makes like Robin, flips Raptors mascot

Dan Hamilton / USA TODAY Sports

Robin Lopez's interminable crusade against NBA mascots has seemingly picked up a new loyal adherent.

Robin's brother Brook joined the fight Tuesday night, mixing it up with The Raptor - with whom Robin has a contentious history - during halftime of the Brooklyn Nets' game against the Raptors in Toronto.

It's a little strange to see Brook displaying such hostility toward The Raptor, who recently goaded Robin by proclaiming Brook the "best basketball player with the last name Lopez."

In any event, Brook basically body-slammed the entire Raptors team Tuesday, pouring in 35 points on 13-of-17 shooting and blocking seven shots - though it came in a losing effort.
