My Newfound Respect for Sports Mascots

So normally, sports mascots are pretty lame IMO. They just jump around and act goofy trying to get the fans excited and taking pictures with little kids while wearing an oversized, goofy looking costume.

However, my opinion has changed. Bango, the mascot for the Milwaukee Bucks has taken his mascoting skills to the next level. Check it out:

That was insane. But how in the hell do you practice something like that without seriously fucking yourself up?

Multiple people have now claimed the Jazz bear. Anyone have any vids that show he can beat out a back flip off of a 16 foot step ladder to two handed dunk? If so, I'll be very impressed.

Alright, he is legit. I still think the backflip dunk was single greatest stunt I've sen done by a mascot, but the bear crushes it all the way around. The dunk through a ring of fire and the skiing/sledding down the stairs were good and entertaining stunts, and the take down of the kid during musical chairs and the tackling of the guy that ran on the court were absolutely hilarious. The Jazz bear deserves props indeed.
