The guys over at Yahoo! Sports blog Ball Don’t Lie unearthed some funny (or is it sad?) video of Bango, the Milwaukee Bucks mascot.
Before the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game this past weekend, Rufus, the Charlotte Bobcats’ Poochie-like mascot, hit such an impressive H-O-R-S-E shot, both Larry and Mike would have conceded their Quarter Pounders. From half court, back to the basket, over the head, off the Bucks’ mascot’s groin, nothin’ but net.
Now, normally, this is where the story would end. Applause, children’s laughter, maybe a little worm dance at center court. But not so fast. This is the fragile Bucks were talking about here — naturally, Bango suffered a torn ACL in his right knee and will undergo surgery in late March.
Poor guy. But I guess the lesson here is that you shouldn’t be climbing on a hoop when there are people/mascots trying to make half court shots.
