Whaddya think? He drops down, plays a rockin' drum solo, then misses a stunt dunk. But he's not a horsepig, so I approve.

My first impression was that it looked like Teen Wolf. I'm good with it though.

love it

the best mascot in the nba is the suns' gorilla, and this is basically just a hairier version that also can bust a drum set

It is #1 and it's not even close. Thumbs up here.

Yeah, I thought it kind of looked like the Bigfoot with a bison head. Which I approve of, because f*ck those guys, that's why.

when I saw him coming out of the sky, I thought he looked like "beast" from the cartoon Beauty & the Beast...but after that, yeah teen wolf all the way.

Exactly what I said. Teen Wolf Bison.

I think he is awesome, He isn't for us adults anyways, he is for the kids! The fact that some people are bashing the Thunder Brass (not here but on newsok) for the mascot, is cracking me up. ITS FOR THE KIDS...

There's some mighty wrong stuff being said in that link. Mighty wrong.

Well, it's 50% the style of that site and 50% the author being a bitter Seattle homer. The headline just makes me giggle.

I think Rumble is pretty cool. But, nothing beats Rocky. Of course, I'm biased.

Anybody who does a back flip off of a rickety 16' ladder is cool...

If he could have made the 2 dunks it would have been an incredible debut. High degree of difficulty though. Pretty cool.

And of course KD's CAREER HIGH doesn't make SportCenter, but the busted-*** dunk attempt does. Gah.

Dude, it's the NBA. No one's impressed by 47 anymore. If he'd dropped 74, then you'd be talking. ;)

They should have named him "Thor."

Thanks for the links and such, guys. I agree that this mascot is for the kids and all, but it is still pretty fun that they found someone that can dance and bang the drums and backflip in that costume. If Boomer/Sooner horsepigs could do all that, perhaps we'd like them more too!

I wish that the bison could have made those shots, though. However that just helps him fit in a little more in a lottery team's lineu... OK! Going to resist that cheap shot and just say that he's fun. Why couldn't OU go with a bison? Would that be too Colorado?

bri

Well, since the horsepigs do backflip and yet we still hate them with a passion, I'd say your argument is invalid.

Again.

scuze me, shoulda been more specific - backflips off a ladder while attempting to hit a basket at the same time. Backflips by themselves are only good post-free throw.
