Team mascots have been a staple inside NBA arenas, as they add to the entertainment for fans watching live, as well as keep them pumped up during games. One of the best in the business is Rocky The Mountain Lion of the Denver Nuggets, who often does some crazy antics on the court, to the delight of The Mile High City faithful.
He was back to his hilarious ways on Thursday, as he wore a Darth Vader costume, and pretended to be using the force on some of the Chicago Bulls players. As expected, nothing happened with his act, and the players didn't even mind him at all.
Whatever Rocky did though may have a late effect on the Nuggets on the night, as they squeaked out a 111-110 victory, even without Paul Millsap, Wilson Chandler and Nikola Jokic, who suffered an ankle injury in the first half and did not return. Will Barton powered the home team with 37 points, while Gary Harris chipped in 21 points of his own.
The Nuggets will be back in action on Saturday, when they host the Los Angeles Lakers. Rocky will once again be expected to play a hand in energizing the crowd, as their team looks to start a winning streak with a second straight victory.
