<p><strong>Victor Oladipo</strong> isn’t living a good moment right now with the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/indiana-pacers-t100210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indiana Pacers</a> </strong>after a complex 2019/20 <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> season for the team.Contradicting reports have placed him in other teams while others have assured that the guard is committed to his team.</p>
<p>Well, right now he’s one of the stars with the most chances to be traded this offseason. That wouldn’t be a problem now since recent reports claimed Oladipo actually asked opponents if he could go play with them.</p>
<p>That is already something serious to say, but the worst part of it is that he said these teams in front of teammates. According to J. Michael of the Indy Star, Victory didn’t hesitate to talk with opponents about teaming up in front of his own rivals.</p>

<p>This has to be one of the coldest things to do and this guy did it like it was nothing. Michael said that the player would speak with rivals after games and instead of being quiet about it, he just said things out loud regardless of who was in front of him.</p>

It’s not enough to have the best players on earth hooping right in front of you, you also need to have one of the funniest NBA mascots <strong>to provide a top-notch experience for the fans.</strong></p>

<p>Notably,there are a couple of teams who don’t have any kind of mascot, like the<strong> <a href="https://www.nba.com/lakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles </a><a href="https://www.nba.com/lakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lakers</a>or New York Knicks. </strong>Instead, they rely on their iconic fans and celebrities to get the job done. So, if you were looking around for all NBA teams and wondered what’s the Lakers mascot, the answer most likely would be<strong> Snoop Dogg or Jack Nicholson.</strong></p>
<p>But, when we talk about cheering the people up, goofing around, or simply mocking the rival, there’s no one that could beat the guy we’re about to mention. <strong>Check out the top 10 funniest NBA mascots.</strong></p>

<h2>10. Clutch the Bear, Houston Rockets</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_clutch_houston_rockets_mascot.jpg_1030179834_4cd874b5.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He was named the NBA Mascot of the Year in 2013. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Clutch the Bear</strong> may not be the most entertaining among the mascots we’re about to mention. But, among all NBA mascots, he’s the only one who really thinks of the kids. He’s freaking adorable, and that’s why the <strong>Houston Rockets</strong> love him that much.</p>
<p>Kids just love Clutch the Bear, and even if he may seem kind of corny to some older fans, he was recently inducted into the<strong>Mascot Hall of Fame </strong>(yes, that’s a thing). His name comes from ‘Clutch City’, Houston’s nickname.</p>
<h2>9. Hooperthe Horse, Detroit Pistons</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_hooper_detroit_pistons_mascot.jpg_1030179834_31b21759.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He was trained to be a racehorse. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Detroit Pistons</strong> have one of the biggest, most loyal fanbases in the world, so they should be treated accordingly. That’s why the team introduced <strong>Hooper the Horse</strong> as their mascot in 1996.</p>
<p>Hooper stands outamong most basketball mascots because, as his name says, he actually hoops. He’s out there with the <strong>Flight Crew Dunking</strong> Teamat halftimeand always puts on a show. You wouldn’t expect those impressive dunks from such a goofy-looking mascot.</p>
<h2>8. Boomer, Indiana Pacers</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_boomer_indiana_pacers_mascot.jpg_1030179834_6847da83.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He’s also referred to as the ‘Pacers Panther’. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The<strong> Indiana Pacers </strong>have always been stuck in time. The aesthetics of the franchise has always favored an old-school, classic look, and Boomer is the prime example of it. Still, make no mistake, he’s not old-fashioned at all.</p>
<p><strong>Boomer</strong>is pretty much a dunking cat with Kawhi Leonard-ish hands(which is ironic considering the Pacers originally drafted Kawhi). He’s clumsy and goofy until it comes to flying high and doing a back-flip. Then, it can be kind of intimidating.</p>
<h2>7. Harry the Hawk, Atlanta Hawks</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_harry_the_hawk.jpg_1030179834_37b64ca3.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He reads bedtime stories online. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Harry the Hawk</strong> may be one of the most intimidating mascots in the league. I mean, he literally looks like he’s about to start a fight and it just gets worse when he takes flight to dunk the ball at halftime.</p>
<p>The <strong>Atlanta Hawks </strong>haven’t had many things to brag about over the past couple of years but now, they can always count on Trae Young and Harry the Hawk to put on a show. Hopefully, that’ll bring more fans to their games.</p>
<h2>6. Jazz Bear, Utah Jazz</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_utah_jazz_bear_mascot.jpg_1030179834_7992fdc8.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   <strong>He was introduced in 1994. (Getty)</strong>  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Picture yourself wandering around the mountains in Utah and then coming across with a 7-foot bear. Don’t worry, don’t be scared, it’s just <strong>JazzBear</strong>, the <strong>Utah Jazz</strong> mascot for over 26 years.</p>
<p>Jazz Bear is one of the most iconic basketball mascots of all time. <strong>He’s performed in over 800 home games</strong> and has been named NBA mascot of the year five times. Sadly, he’s also suffered a couple of injuries while performing.</p>

<h2>5. Go the Gorilla, Phoenix Suns</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_go_the_gorilla_suns.jpg_1030179834_748ef2da.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He was born in the Banana Republic. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Well, there aren’t many gorillas in Arizona, so, at first,<strong> Go the Gorilla </strong>makes absolutely no sense at all as the <strong>Phoenix Suns’</strong> mascot. Then again, it’s a mascot, it doesn’t have to make sense.</p>
<p>This gorilla is a never-ending source of energy and spark. He’s constantly goofing around, riding a bike, or posterizing imaginary enemies with his emphatic dunks. <strong>There’s nothing not to like about him.</strong></p>
<h2>4. Champ the Horse, Dallas Mavericks</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_champ_horse_dallas_mavericks.jpg_1030179834_1e978e04.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   The Mavericks also have another mascot called Mavs Man. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>

<p>No one lives up to the name ‘Champ’ more than the <strong>Dallas Mavericks </strong>mascot. He constantly put on a show during the Mavericks’ <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/the-top-10-nba-teams-of-the-last-decade-20200722-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1</a>.52. and hasn’t missed a beat ever since, becoming one of the most popular basketball mascots in the world.</p>
<p><strong>Champ</strong>is an anthropomorphic horse (obviously, they’re the Mavericks) who dunks on people and wants everybody to get loud on their seats. Halftime shows arealways full of entertainment with him and <strong>Mavs Man.</strong></p>
<h2>3. The Raptor, Toronto Raptors</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>I mean, what’s cooler than a dinosaur? <strong>The Raptor </strong>brings out that kid inside us andthat’s just great. He’s a bit of a badass but he’s also adorable, especially when kids are around. Also, <strong>TorontoRaptors</strong> fans are just great.</p>
<p>He’s widely popular for his ‘eating people’ skits and,of course, his beef with <strong>Robin Lopez.</strong> On a not-so-positive note, he tore his Achilles tendon while performing a backflip during a preseason game, so he was in crutches for most of the 2013-14 season.</p>
<h2>2. Bango, Milwaukee Bucks</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Bango</strong> is one of the funniest mascots in all sports. This Deer has been around the league for over 40 years, making him one of the most recognizable figures in all basketball. He’s been there longer than several franchises.</p>
<p>This mascot was born to ‘replace’ <strong>Kareem Abdul-Jabbar</strong> following his departure to the Los Angeles Lakers, and while <strong>Milwaukee Bucks </strong>fans would much rather keep Kareem, he’s become an integral part of their culture.</p>
<h2>1. Benny the Bull, Chicago Bulls</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_benny_the_bull.jpg_1030179834_55f18955.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He’s been the Bulls’ mascot for over 50 years. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>And, obviously, <strong>Benny the Bull </strong>has to be the ultimate mascot. He takes place on pretty much every single major event in Chicago, is constantly shouting out other teams and mascots, gets into fights with the<strong> Chicago Bulls’</strong> rivals, and is the goofiest guy ever.</p>
<p>Benny is constantly giving away presents after <strong>spilling giants bags of popcorn</strong>. He’s also quite the dunker and can often be seen putting on a show in halftime. He became famous during <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-25-greatest-players-in-Chicago-Bulls-history-20200703-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the <strong>Michael Jordan </strong>era</a> and continues to lead all NBA mascots.</p>

<p>It’s never easy to stand out when you play in a star-studded competition like the NBA. At the end of the day, putting together a well-balanced roster that can go the distance and make the Finals <strong>is way easier said than done.</strong></p>
<p>Building a competitive NBA team is quite complicated but having it stay near the top of the standings for a significant period of time is even tougher. Relocations, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/active-player-most-likely-to-make-the-hall-of-fame-for-each-nba-team-20210302-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">superstars</a> leaving for bigger markets, injuries, and bad luck <strong>can derail a promising project in the blink of an eye.</strong></p>

<p>The National Basketball Associationis arguably the most competitive major sports league in the world, and that’s not going to change any time soon. And like any other sports league, there are <strong>NBA teams without a championship.</strong></p>
<p>Given how competitive the league is, there should be no shame on those NBA teams without a championship. Even so, it’s time they finally step up and prove they worth like the<strong> Toronto Raptors</strong>did during the 2018-19 season.<br> <span></span></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Well, technically, the<strong> Oklahoma City Thunder</strong> does have an NBA Championship. The<strong> Seattle Supersonics</strong> won the ring in 1979 and the Thunder is allegedly just a continuation of that franchise on a different city, so they absorbed their win-loss record and accolades.</p>
<p>Even so, some fans claim that championship shouldn’t count anymore as the fanbase isn’t even the same. Also, there’s hope the Sonics make it back to the league one day and they’ll want their<strong> Larry O’Brien trophy</strong> back.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>The Denver Nuggets</strong> haven’t even made it to the NBA Finals since joining the league in 1976. They’ve had plenty of legendary players like Carmelo Anthony, Adrian Dantley, and Alex English; but they just have never been able to get past the powerhouses in the West.</p>
<p>Now, the Nuggets have put together one of the strongest, most versatile cores in the league and have been constantly among the top teams in the West. Hopefully, they’ll make it to the big stage in no time. <strong>They do have an ABA title, though.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The Memphis Grizzlies’</strong> franchise started off in 1995 in Vancouver before relocating the Memphis in 2001. They’ve had their fair share of struggles despite great players like Paul Gasol and Shareef Abdur-Rahim.</p>
<p>The Grizzlies became a perennial dark horse and upset plenty contenders in the Western Conference during the<strong> ‘Grit &amp; Grind Era’</strong> in the mid-’10s but they’re yet to make their first trip to the NBA Finals.</p>

<p>Beforethe 2020/21 season, the<strong> Phoenix Suns</strong> haven’t made it to the NBA Finals since 1993 when Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls took down then-MVP Charles Barkley. They’ve had some terrific squads ever since but some claim the NBA refs rigged a couple of series to prevent them from moving forward.</p>
<p>Steve Nash led one of the most entertaining offenses in the history of the league but that team is far behind them. Now, they have a strong shot at leaving this list for good, with <strong>Chris Paul and Devin Booker </strong>leading them against the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021 NBA Finals.</p>

<p><strong>The Minnesota Timberwolves</strong> haven’t been around for that long. The team entered the league as an expansion franchise and it became a massive success among fans but they’ve almost always been near the bottom of the standings.</p>
<p><strong>Kevin Garnett</strong> nearly turned the franchise around but the team’s front office was never able to surround him with top-tier talents due to an NBA penalty. Now, they’re going through yet another rebuilding process. You instantly think of them when you talk about NBA teams with no rings.</p>

<p><strong>The Charlotte Hornets </strong>had a strong team in the ’90s. Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, and Muggsy Bogues always put the team in a position to contend but once again, they had to go through some legendary squads fromthe Knicks, Pistons, Celtics, or Bulls.</p>
<p>Now, the <strong>Michael Jordan</strong>-owned Hornets are constantly near the bottom of the standings. They just can’t seem to catch a break and aren’t an attractive destination for free agents. Then again, a generational player like LaMelo Ball could change that pretty soon.</p>
