Agent Orange VS Rocky

Tweet

Yesterday, I took my mountain bike, Agent Orange, out for a 25-mile ride. A portion of my route took me to the Downtown Denver area, and since I like to take pictures of my bike leaning on stuff, while I was in the area, I made my way over to Pepsi Center. Pepsi Center is the home of the Colorado Avalanche hockey team, the Denver Nuggets basketball team, and the Colorado Mammoth indoor lacrosse team. I went over there so I could take a picture of my bike with the statue of the Nuggets' mascot, Rocky (also known as Rocky the Mountain Lion, also known as Supermascot Rocky.) Rocky is, frankly, THE best mascot in sports (I wouldn't argue against this even if my beloved Lakers were to ever get a mascot.) Rocky made his NBA debut on December 15th, 1990. He was born, naturally, in the Rocky Mountains, stands 5'10", weighs 154 lbs, and his lightning bolt-shaped tail is 3 ft long. Rocky is high energy, even for a mascot. His creative stunts and comedy sketches are legendary throughout the league, he often dances with the Nuggets Dancers, matching the choreography as if he were part of the dance team. He holds grudges (his long-running "fued" with Charles Barkley was hilarious, and he has it in for certain referees-naturally, everyone involved plays along,) and he is chock-full of attitude. In fact, I've linked to a short, very funny video of Rocky attempting to win the heart of a pretty Nuggets fan during a Valentine's game. So, Agent Orange VS Rocky. Who wins? Rocky. My bike is pretty badass. But Rocky is victorious. Every time. (Info verified by NBA.com)
