Robin Lopez and the New York Knicks were in Washington D.C. this weekend to take on the Wizards, and Robin was not feeling the Wizard’s mascot. If you have followed Lopez throughout his career, his hate for opposing team mascots is not a new thing. In order to preemptively address that situation, Wizards’ mascot G-Wiz invited Lopez to a team party prior to their game. As you can see from the video, Robin Lopez was having none of it.

The Wizards got the last laugh and ended up beating the Knicks (and Robin Lopez) by a score of 99 to 89.
