Brook Lopez is a tall man. That comes in handy in the NBA, from time to time.
Of course Lopez has been a tough cover his entire career as a legitimate 7-footer, but on Tuesday night as his Milwaukee Bucks took on the Los Angeles Lakers, his height helped in another, different way.
Early in the second quarter, a ball got stuck on top of the backboard where a swiveling camera sits to record the game action. Officials couldn’t start the clock until the ball was unstuck, so Lopez sprung into action.

Brook Lopez when asked about this moment postgame: “We’re all heroes, we’re just each waiting for our moment and mine came tonight.” https://t.co/lzOIlDwbh8

Not all heroes wear capes.
This wasn’t the show this guy wanted, but at least it was worth the nearly $7,000 he paid to see LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo go head-to-head.
