He’s also really talented. I normally don’t care about mascots, but he’s legit entertaining. Gets up on an 80 ft ladder and shoots basketballs half court backwards

Rocky has always been the highest paid mascot since I can remember. I got to watch him perform every home game in Denver for years when I covered the Nuggets. Dude is a circus show and a performer
