The Lopez...brothers?

For those of you who don't follow Stanford basketball (what's wrong with you), you may not know of these basketball players on the team part of the Sweet 16: Brook and Robin Lopez. They are twin brothers. Yes, brothers.

This quote is from Bill Simmons' blog on ESPN's Page 2:

Now, the reason that we're inherently prejudiced against the Lopez twins is simple: They're charter members of the Lindsay Hunter All-Stars for "Athletes with names that make them sound like hot girls." In other words, because their names make them sound like two smoking-hot juniors at an all-girls prep school, it's impossible to take them seriously as NBA prospects. If their names were Dwight Lopez and Isaac Lopez, you'd feel much better about them in the first round.


Their parents seriously need to be hit in the head with a spade shovel. Brook? Robin? Something tells me they really wanted girls.

Simmons is exactly right. I could almost let Robin pass, but paired with Brook it's just ridiculous. I seriously wondered why you were talking about the Stanford women's team for a moment.
