NBA Bulls player interrupts game to tie Celtics player's shoe, as one does
Ah, it's never a dull moment in the NBA.
During Sunday night's intense Game 4 face off between the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics, Robin Lopez casually decided to push Jae Crowder out of bounds to tie his shoe.
As one does...
As this stunning GIF below shows, Lopez lost his own right shoe on the court and Crowder swiftly picked it up and tossed it behind him, out of bounds.
EEEeeek. Lopez reacted by immediately crashing into Crowder with an intentional foul, using what appears to be a massive bear hug. He then retrieved his lonely shoe on the sidelines and bent over to... tie Crowder’s laces?
Everything is very confusing. Crowder was clearly not pleased and all the while this poor ref was just trying to make the boys play nice.
As we all know, Lopez has a twin brother --Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez -- so he's probably a pro at pulling immature brotherly pranks.

But whether he was trying to mess with Crowder or genuinely just ensuring his laces remain safely tied it's always nice to have these WTF moments to look back on when the game is over.
