Bucks’ veteran Brook Lopez, who the NBA All-Defensive Second Team in 2020, is looking to make a step further and claim the Defensive Player of the Year award.

The 2021 NBA champion admits that that is his personal goal, but winning another title is a priority. Lopez has the support of his teammates Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday.

Via Michael Scotto of HoopsHype:

“It’s definitely a goal of mine,” Lopez told HoopsHype when asked about his Defensive Player of the Year candidacy. “Obviously, I’m a team-first player who wants the team to be successful. We want to win a championship. That’s our main goal. It definitely would be a personal point of pride for me, and it’s a goal for myself.”
