If there is such a thing as "vintage" Brook Lopez, this video represents it. But even if it does exist, there is unlikely to be a market for such things. Bropez is still definitely in the league and in his prime; there is no overwhelming nostalgia to see how he used to play the game. Vintage D-Wade, vintage Nowitzki, vintage Maker (HAHAHAHAHA), these are all things that people desperately want to see again. Vintage Bropez, not so much.
I say all this because this video doesn't contain any jumpers. He took some jumpers, but they didn't go in, so I'm going to ignore them to fit my carefully crafted narrative. Which is "Lopez is at his best doing loop-de-doo drives to the basket where it looks like he's traveling but he must not be". It's like watching Giannis Antetokounmpo, except instead of a slitherly skinny figure winding his way through defenders, it's a big lumbering oaf plowing his way through bodies. There's a certain grace about him, but it's a very clumsy sort of grave.
