Winner: Disneyland

One key piece to under all that comes with Team Lopez is that Disney theme parks are the Mecca of the seven-footers’ utmost enjoyment. Neither Brook Lopez or his identical twin have played all that close to either of America’s two Disney theme parks: Disneyland in Anaheim or Walt Disney World in Orlando.

It was only a matter of time that one of the Lopez Twins would be within a car ride of a Disney theme park. If you can’t find one of them in the gym if they played for the Lakers, Clippers or Magic, you better believe they are at the Magic Kingdom enjoying themselves.

Lopez is going to bring a greater appreciation for the life of Mr. Walter Elias Disney into the Staples Center. It hasn’t been much fun there since Kobe Bryant made it all about him these last few years. Lopez will inevitably take all of his Lakers teammates to Disneyland with great regularity. Nobody will enjoy the experience more than Brandon Ingram. Expect for Nick Young because Swaggy P loves everything.

Because the biggest dude in Los Angeles is a Disney connoisseur, expect the Disney Company to receive record profits. Maybe they will stop overpaying out the wazoo for NBA television contracts and ESPN will have to stop canning important television analysts. Team Lopez means you’re Team Disney. You in?
