Total Nerd Robin Lopez Proposes Major Change to Free Agency With Comical Harry Potter Tweet
By Brendan Azoff
Robin Lopez is one of the goofiest, yet lovable players in the NBA, and his stellar humor was visible again, allowing him to stand out during a time when most basketball fans are refreshing Twitter just to see the latest Woj-bomb.
This has all been very exciting, but this would be be so much more fun is done by Sorting Hat. There's no question in my mind Julius Randle is a Hufflepuff. Think about it Adam Silver....

Those familiar with the Harry Potter series will immediately understand the comical reference, but for those unfamiliar please allow me to explain. The sorting hat was put on the heads of all Hogwarts students and it picked what house they belonged too, and if the NBA was under Lopez's command, there would be a sorting hat for all free agents.
I'm a Ravenclaw no doubt. Though I had one Summer in 2012 where I was Slytherin, thru and thru.

Knicks fans are all-in for this idea as it may be the only shot at getting a star player to sign with the once-storied franchise. This is the content we love to see from athletes, and Lopez delivered beautifully with a well-timed tweet amidst the chaos of the NBA landscape.
