We NBA fans LOVE Brook Lopez and his brother Robin being delightfully weird over the years, but what happened on Tuesday was focused squarely on the Milwaukee Bucks center.
Brook Lopez got into a scuffle under the hoop with Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr., and while tied up, he decided to … Pull off Trent Jr’s headband. Things escalated a bit from there between the teams, and Lopez was ejected, as you can watch below.
But it’s what Lopez had to say about the headband throw after the game that’s just amazing.
First off, check out how this heated moment went down:

Joe Ingles demanded to know what Lopez disliked about Gary Trent's headband.

Unfortunately, Ingles missed this answer as he walked to grab a postgame meal.
So, he came back from the player's lounge demanding an answer and conducted his own line of questioning.
