Coming off his best season with the Milwaukee Bucks, Brook Lopez has a lucrative new deal.
Lopez, 35, is coming off his first selection to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team and finished second in voting to Jaren Jackson Jr. for Defensive Player of the Year. He posted his highest scoring average in five years with the Bucks while tallying 15.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game and shooting 53.1% from the field and 37.4% from 3-point distance on 4.7 attempts per game.
Lopez was integral to Milwaukee's run to the 2021 NBA championship and has developed into one of the NBA's premier 3-and-D players as a Bucks starter. His progression from a one-dimensional low-post center into a versatile scorer, long-range threat and floor spacer who protects the rim proved invaluable as the Bucks developed into an Eastern Conference power in the last half-decade.
Lopez has grown his game alongside the evolution of the NBA and hit the open market as a highly coveted 35-year-old because of it. Now, he has the contract to show for it.
