As it turns out, L.A. Clippers center DeAndre Jordan isn't a big fan of birds.

The big man jokingly backhand smacked New Orleans Pelicans mascot “Pierre” before the teams took the court.

Jordan was in no mood for hugs after the game either as the Clippers have lost four straight after a 102-98 loss to the Pelicans on Wednesday, despite pulling down a season-high 25 rebounds on the effort.
