Although Robin Lopez and Brook Lopez both play for New York teams, the twins know that living together would cause a real catfight.
Ahead of the New York Knicks' battle against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, Knicks center Robin revealed that Nets center Brook's cat Poupin has a mean streak only he sees.
"Brook's cat is very two-faced," Robin told The New York Post's Kirsten Fleming. "Everybody loves Brook's cat. To everybody's face, he's such a nice cat. And it may sound like I'm joking, but I am dead serious. He acts like a lazy, sweet cat when everybody is looking. But when their heads turn, he'll try to chase after (my cat) Edward. The second I lay eyes on him, he'll act like, 'I'm a cherub. I'm innocent.' I'm not buying it."
So, when the Knicks signed Robin in July, the 27-year-olds decided against living together, to keep the feline peace.
"We thought about it," explained Brook. "But the cats really wouldn't get along. They just wouldn't allow it."
Safe choice.
