There’s no denying how effective Brook Lopez was during his time as the starting center for the Milwaukee Bucks. The thing is, the former Brooklyn Nets star never made the All-NBA team despite amassing a ton of points throughout his career.
Lopez is a veteran standout known for his exceptional skills as a center. He was drafted with the 10th overall pick 2008 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets, he quickly made his mark, becoming the franchise’s all-time leading scorer over his nine seasons with the team. His early career was marked by impressive performances that earned him a spot on the All-Rookie first team and recognition as a potential star.
Lopez struggled with injuries throughout his career, particularly a foot injury that sidelined him during the 2011-12 season. However, he bounced back strongly, earning his first All-Star selection in 2013. After a brief stint with the Los Angeles Lakers, he joined the Milwaukee Bucks in 2018, where he transformed his game, becoming a reliable three-point shooter, earning the nickname Splash Mountain.
In 2021, Lopez contributed significantly to the Bucks’ championship, a highlight of his career. He was also recognized for his defensive skills, making the NBA All-Defensive Team in 2020 and 2023. Throughout his career, Lopez has demonstrated versatility and resilience, adapting his style of play and continuing to perform at a high level in the league. His journey reflects not only his talent, but also his ability to overcome adversity and evolve as a player.
