Reader e-mail: We all knew Robin Lopez was a goofy guy, but does this solidify him as the unanimous No. 1 character over Shaq? ———

Prior to the draft, Sports Illustrated ran a feature story and photo gallery showing off the lighter side of twins Brook and Robin Lopez, who filled their dorm at Stanford with Disney figures, cartoons and superheros. The New York Times caught on, too.

Then on the big night, Bill Simmons also raved about the twins’ fun-loving perception to headline his 2008 running draft diary, even making a proposition that MTV should book their next birthday party for a special “My Super Sweet 16″ episode? (This coming after Simmons had taken the entire college basketball season to warm up to their likableness.)

Now, our TSC Citizen Paparazzi can confirmed those theories through the following exclusive photos of Lopez, who will become The Sports Culture’s first ever first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee.

At this point, it’s certainly verified that Suns center Robin Lopez can live up to his critically-acclaimed goofiness.

Prepare yourself for the truth. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Robin Lopez.

Ninjas included.
