Robin Lopez Chats with Comic Book Store Owner, Mike: From Basketball to Batman
Robin Lopez, known not only for his skills as a towering center in the NBA but also for his love of comic books, sits down with Mike, the enthusiastic owner of Gotham’s Grotto, the local comic book store. Together, they dive into a conversation that merges the thrill of basketball with the enchanting world of comics.
Mike:
Hey Robin, it’s awesome having you here today! I’ve got to say, between chasing rebounds and fighting off NBA mascots, how do you find the time to keep up with your comic book passion?
Robin:
Haha, thanks Mike! It’s definitely a juggling act. But, you know, there’s so much downtime with travel and recovery days. Comics are the perfect escape after an intense game. Plus, fighting mascot antics is like my real-life comic story!
Mike:
Oh, I bet! Speaking of escapes, if you could pick one comic character to be teammates with on the court, who would it be and why?
Robin:
That’s a tough one, but I think I’d go with Batman. I mean, he’s the ultimate strategist. Can you imagine him breaking down plays and knowing exactly when to strike or pass? Plus, those gadgets would come in handy.
Mike:
Totally! Batman’s utility belt would revolutionize the game. But let me ask you this—who’s more formidable: a rival player trash-talking or a villain like the Joker?
Robin:
Haha! Good one, Mike. Trash talkers can get in your head, but the Joker is a whole different level of chaos. On a bad day, maybe a trash-talker is as close as you can get to Gotham’s Clown Prince of Crime!
Mike:
Love it! Do you ever think your comic book interests influence your game? Maybe in the way you analyze situations or find creative solutions on the court?
Robin:
Absolutely. Comics are all about epic battles and strategies, just like basketball. I find that reading stories of characters overcoming obstacles, thinking outside the box, and facing challenges head-on parallels a lot of what we do in sports. Plus, it amps up the imagination which never hurts!
Mike:
I can see that! Before we wrap up, one last question. What’s next on your reading list?
Robin:
I’ve been meaning to catch up on the latest issues of ‘Saga’. It’s such a wild ride! And, of course, anything Batman. Always need my Batman fix.
As the conversation winds down, it’s clear that Robin Lopez’s passion for comic books adds a unique layer to his already intriguing persona, making him not just a big presence on the court, but also a vibrant character in the world of comic book aficionados.
