Portland Trail Blazers center Robin Lopez might not be dating Khloe Kardashian, but he is absolutely hilarious.

The Kardashian sisters have dated a lot of basketball players over the years, but it doesn’t look like Portland Trail Blazers center Robin Lopez is one of them.

After the New York Daily News reported that Khloe Kardashian had “set her sights on” Lopez, the Stanford product denied he and Kardashian were romantically involved… in the funniest way possible.

From the Blazers’ official website:

"“You know, I’m not exactly certain of the veracity of those rumors,” said Lopez. “But what I can comment on, I suppose, is the fabrication of that power couple by the press. Obviously they were looking for two people with a lot of influence on popular culture, on the youth, and they were looking for two movers and shakers. Frankly, I’m not surprised they came up with my name.”And now that he’s sideline for at least the next six weeks, Lopez, a native of North Hollywood, said he’s willing to try out the glamorous, fast-paced lifestyle that surely goes hand in hand with dating a Kardashian.“I’ve got a lot more free time for magazine shoots, guest hosting duties on TV shows and stuff,” said Lopez. “They can contact my agent if they want to. I’m also the associate video guy. That’s one of my new duties. Got a wealth of opportunities even though I’ve only got one hand right now.”"

That is a simply perfect response from Lopez, as he makes light of the fact that he’s not exactly a household name nor is he someone that chases the spotlight.

Kudos to him for having a good sense of humor about it all.

Lopez is averaging 9.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season.
