existed, why didn't I know such a thing existed? This
is by far one of the most unbelievably things I have
ever heard of. So I go to the website which is
www.mascothalloffame.com and
there are 9 inductees a third of the being NBA
mascots. Out of the nine inductees I recognized
a third of them, one being the The Phillie
Phanatic of The Philadelphia Phillies, another
being Bucky the Badger of University of
Wisconsin, and the third being The Phoenix
Gorilla of The Phoenix Suns. Out of the three
NBA mascots I recognized only one, probably the
most famous mascot in the league.
So it came to a shock that the other two were both bears. Why do teams have bears as their mascots? No team has a bear in its name, so why would they have a bear being a mascot? I have no idea, the two mascots are Clutch the Bear of the Houston Rockets and The Jazz Bear of the Utah Jazz. I have no idea what bears have to do with rockets or jazz music, but each of these teams have one for a mascot. Here are their bios from the Hall. Read More...
