Moment Conor McGregor sizes up 7ft 1in NBA star Brook Lopez mid-game as Milwaukee Bucks giant reveals what was said
THIS is the hilarious moment Conor McGregor size up 7ft 1in NBA star Brook Lopez DURING a game.
The brilliant incident came as Lopez’s Milwaukee Bucks beat the Utah Jazz 125-110 on Monday.
The victory saw the Bucks soar to fourth in the NBA’s Eastern Conference Standings.
But the highlight of the game came when UFC legend McGregor announced himself on the court during a free throw.
The Irishman got the attention of the crowd as he made his way to the Bucks’ bench.
He then made his way along the entire team before coming to a stop opposite Lopez.
The NBA was sat down with a towel over his head.
Yet he was hilariously still taller than McGregor, who stands at 5ft 7in.
‘Notorious’ saw the funny side too as he engaged Lopez in a quick chat.
The basketball player seemed to love the banter though and eventually stood up to completely tower over McGregor before the pair jokingly sized up.
Lopez later lifted the lid on his chat with the MMA icon.
He said: “McGregor asked me how tall I was. I let him know. He asked me to stand up and I did.
“I knew at that point, once I got up, I had to size him up, I had to do a little something. I’ve seen face-offs before so I knew I had to do my part.
“Now, if something’s going to happen, maybe Dame (Damian Lillard) can be my promoter or manager, teach me to fight.
“I’ve got nothing. So I’m really going to rely on Dame for that.”
Fans certainly enjoyed the hilarious clash between Lopez and McGregor.
One said: “Notorious only dude to get away with that s**t.”
Another declared: “Conor can’t reach that height.”
One noted: “McGregor wanted to meet the GOAT.”
Another added: “Should start training.”
