Robin Lopez unties, then reties Jae Crowder’s shoe in strange sequence (Video)
The Chicago Bulls continue to clown Boston Celtics forward Jae Crowder.
In the third quarter of Game 4 between the Bulls and the Celtics on Sunday, Chicago center Robin Lopez got tangled up with Crowder underneath the basket and lost his shoe. This kicked off a bizarre sequence where Crowder threw the shoe out of bounds and Lopez responded by untying Crowder’s shoe, then retying it as a sort of peace offering after retrieving his own shoe.

Interestingly enough, Crowder was actually the one who was whistled for a delay of game violation, perhaps for initiating the entire episode by tossing Lopez’s shoe out of bounds in the first place. Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler then sank the ensuing free throw.
The incident comes after Rajon Rondo was fined for an attempted trip of Crowder in Game 3 on Friday (video here), so Crowder should probably do his best to stay away from those darn Bulls and their mischievous shoes.
