Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez hilariously untied Boston Celtics forward Jae Crowder‘s sneaker during Game 4 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinals series at the United Center on Sunday night.

Even though Crowder threw Lopez’s sneaker aside first — which initiated the exchange — the Celtics didn’t find RoLo’s shenanigans funny whatsoever.
However, the situation didn’t escalate further, although the game has been rather chippy overall.

Perhaps Lopez learned that shoelace maneuver from another former member of the New York Knicks, current Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith, who did the same to Shawn Marion while he was with the Dallas Mavericks back in 2014.
It was worth it, though, as the Bulls went on a 13-4 run following the sequence.

Never change, Robin. Never change.
