Mascots are a vital part when it comes to entertaining fans in the NBA during game breaks and timeouts.
While some even play bigger roles in the All-Star dunk contest, others have had their feuds with opposing players (Devin Booker, Robin Lopez…)
Yes, mascots are important, but did you know that they also get paid incredibly well?! We first reported about this last October, when it was revealed that the Denver Nuggets’ mascot Rocky leads the pack, making an unreal $625,000 per year.
Now, with Rocky ‘playing’ in the NBA Finals, this fact as come to surface again. Just like last time, NBA Twitter reacted accordingly when they found out.
An NBA mascot makes more than double & triple every WNBA player.
