The Milwaukee Bucks got everything they hoped for and more when the team signed Lopez for the 2018-19 season. Lopez has been a defensive anchor and presence on the boards for Milwaukee in his five seasons with the team. His impact on the game may be overshadowed by superstars like Giannis Antetokounmpo on the team. He shuts down the hustle and gives every game and that’s why Lopez is having a beast season statistically with the Bucks.
At 34, Brook Lopez is tied with Brooklyn’s Nick Claxton at (2.6) this season. His points, rebounds and field goal percentage are his best since joining the Bucks. The one-time All-Star made the list with the best shot blockers the NBA has ever seen.

Brook Lopez is turning back the clock this season with the Bucks.
Lopez’s (14.5) points, (6.5) rebounds and 50 percent from the field are the Milwaukee Bucks’ best averages. His (2.6) blocks per game are also a career high for him. His previous high was in the 2019-20 season (2.4) per game and Lopez is still looking for ways to elevate his game.
The 2021 NBA champion is shooting 38 percent from deep this season, something not many seven-footers can do. Don’t forget that Lopez didn’t attempt a single three-pointer in his first 5 seasons in the league. Lopez has improved in his game and has been more than useful in his career.
There are only a handful of NBA legends who have 100+ blocks in their first 40 games with a team at age 34+, and Lopez joins that illustrious company. His 101 blocks in 39 games this season put him on a list with NBA greats like Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, Tim Duncan and David Robinson.
