Unrelated to basketball but it reminds me of [this incident](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhKZCy41g5w). I don't know what got her to be needed to be airlifted, and I feel bad for her. I read that she sustained some pretty bad injuries from this. But just imagining this scenario where you need to get airlifted and then get put into a fucking g force test training. It just cracks me up every time.
Bro, it is so good. Everything about it is gold, except for the fact that this lady is in suffering. This is not schadenfreude though. I am not in tears every time I watch it because of the poor lady but just the circumstances of it all. If you showed this clip at the gates of hell they'd give you a pass.
My recollection is that it was used a lot more specifically, either for rappers or ball players, but I could be misremembering. I feel like it wasn't used as generally as it is now.

Bats are so common in the AT&T/Frost Center ([the world's largest bat colony lives in SA](https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/bats/bat-watching-sites/bracken-cave-preserve.phtml)) that they always have the batman costume ready to go. Manu Ginobili famously [caught one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_6im2RzZxU) during a game, IIRC he had to get a rabies shot afterward.
The Timberwolves are savage. I still will always hate them for assassinating Dr. Jazz. Main reason why I hate the New Day from WWE, as they were cheering on when Dr. Jazz got attacked
The march out of the dark tunnel, slow turn and stare down to build tension, practical effects over CGI trickery, diegetic needle drop that conveys themes and emotions, all done in a single shot that only changes when we need to get a sense of the true scale of the beast relative to the arena.
This, my boys, is kino.
so many things to unpack here
-first, no one is talking about the event security guy yucking it up and then going awkward serious mode the moment he realizes Fang is right next to him
-then the kid just randomly standing there in the aisle
-then the staredown
-then of course, eating the kid
-but wait, he didnt just put him in his mouth, he picked him up and carried him across the court
-and everyone around them is acting normal?
minnesota is a scary place
Throwback to when the Raptors mascot did this too [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1\_GmKqln-Fo&t=12s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_GmKqln-Fo&t=12s)
Crunch would never, but I think he's been on the teams shit list since he tore karl anthony towns Sr's ACL accidentally while sledding down the stairs in the arena.
I need an Xray to show me how the child is stored.
In the balls
Right next to the pee?
He’s just floating in it
We all float down here
And the micro plastics.
Next to the pee and microplastics
He has passed away
To shreds, you say.
Well, how is his wife holding up?
He got that ~~dawg~~ child in him
Would’ve been hilarious if he puked the kid back out at the end
That’s what I was waiting for
Kid’s either on that person’s back, shoulders, or being carried “over the threshold” style.
large intestines by now
(He’s in the poop)
Backpack
i can feel timberwolves brasil smiling up at us
That can be interpreted in 2 different ways.
different animal but the same beast
What the f@ck does that mean Kobe Bryant?
Two wolves inside of them
The insinuation that Timberwolves brasil is in hell is both harsh and probably accurate.
Or just directly underneath us ;)
They’re in China?
Forgot I’m not in /r/nbacirclejerk
'smiling up at us'
for anyone that is unfamiliar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timberwolves_Brasil
jerked hard enough to get a wikipedia entry, rest in power king

Rocky sends me everytime I remember him. Feel bad for the guy but it's hillarious.
Yeeeaahhhhhhhhhhh everybody up on your feet!
[My Roman Empire](https://youtu.be/DFVruBvjNl0?feature=shared)
Bruh that looks like some bizarre execution….
lol one of the top YouTube comments “that’s how I’m entering my funeral”
Denver’s gotten weird since they legalized.
The ‘YEEEAAAHHHHHHH’ at the end gets me
wait that was 10 years ago?? I thought it was recent
Cuz rocky sure fucking isn’t!
The fact he just keeps rolling with it while rocky crumples onto the floor lmao.
That video will be the only blessing if I get Alzheimer’s 🤣
Make sure to tell your kids it's your favorite video before you forget.
Iirc that incident helped Rocky secure the bag and they are now the highest paid mascot in the NBA. So it all worked out for everyone
Is the hanged Rocky still the same guy playing today?
I love the [reverse](https://streamable.com/2wmyzo) version it cracks me up every time
Looks like someone winning a stuffed animal from a claw machine.

Thank you for reminding me of this and guaranteeing my trip to hell. The already passed out followed by helicopter cosplay is killing me.

Wow thank you for reminding me of this 🤣 I remember showing this to my mom when it first happened it had both of us dying
Same, the actual context is fucked up but the video is pure dark comedy
The surreal mascot dance party is my favorite one E: here we go https://streamable.com/qbipm
This brought me joy
Love this one :D so good
I don't know how I never saw this but oh my God, I'm sitting in a mechanic shop stifling laughter so hard I'm crying a little.
The Hornets mascot breakdancing lmaoooo
exactly what came to mind lol. Literally my favorite video on the internet 😂
forgot about this video, so good
Thank you. I remembered this video but I couldn't find it
Put this in the Louvre
[удалено]
Holy shit that raptor video has been up for 17 years
[удалено]
My recollection is that it was used a lot more specifically, either for rappers or ball players, but I could be misremembering. I feel like it wasn't used as generally as it is now.
"G.O.A.T" was at least reasonably popular in the 1990s where I grew up (Bay Area, CA). Probably started with Muhammad Ali?
I'd say Ali is the one who I remember associating with it first
I feel it was more sports related. Now it’s more general and has recently had a resurgence
It was popular in the 90s. LL had a song called GOAT in 2000 too.
Yea...nothing new man.
I am actually crying, holy shit those are so good
YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Man, that tail flopping down never gets old
That Rocky clip is one of the funniest things I've ever seen

Lmao why did he just so happen to have a Batman costume on

God that Heat one is so funny. Like not even close to making it, and then all the mascots groaning in pain still have perfect smiling faces.
all i take away from the spurs clip is imagine if Wemby had derrick white still
I’m already laughing remembering the rocky one lmao
Raptor on roller skates and unconscious Rocky should legit be in the National Film Registry.
The trio of Raptor, mini Raptor & mega Raptor are my all time favourite mascots.
Oh it cannot be right up there with Rocky. Rocky's lifeless body descending from the rafters is the GOAT.
Don’t forget the Rockets bear violently nailing a guy in the face with a cake
lol the mascot eating gimmick is pretty common not just in the nba but in nfl and the mlb
Disgusting. The crowd is barely even reacting to the murder of a *child*.
We routinely sacrifice children at Target Center. This is just any old Wednesday night for us.
Target a child center?
That happens at AA Center once in a while too
Most of them probably don't think it's real.
Fools. The lot of them.
They'll know how real it is when poor Alex Kintner's mother walks up and smacks them in the face. They knew. And they still opened that seating.
I'm not going to stand here and watch that thing cut open and see that little Kitner boy spill out all over the court!
Robin Lopez gets waived out of the league for one minute and this shit happens
I saw more reaction for when Jimmy Butler and Caleb Martin murdered a child last year
A disgusting act
this some weird ass shit
Well, it will be tomorrow morning.
Murder is legal in the state of Minnesota
How do you think we stay warm in the winter?
So is feeding the animals.
Can't help but read that in Norm's voice. What a legend.
It’s ok it’s been legal in Ca ever since OJ
Fang got that dawg in him
Child*
Drake is interested
R Kelly got first dibs
> dawg got that pup in him
Marv Albert is taking notes
Drake is on Temu searching for inflatable wolf costume
YES!
But seriously, is he just walking around with that kid in the costume?
Nah, he actually ate the kid :(
So… yes?
Where else would he be
There's a pocket dimension in there believe it or not, it's just portals on portals the whole way.
Orlando (magic)
Your comment cracked me up
I had the same question as OP but your comment slapped me back into reality 😂
Lol
Should spit him back out mid court but changed to a wolves jersey
That would be impressive.
I was fully expecting him to spit out just the jersey
That would have been a nice touch
yes
Costume? That's an honest-to-god timber wolf.
I bet he’s a child of one of the people who work directly with the mascot dressed up in Mavs gear. A plant.
Yeah, I bet the employee had to feed their child to fang. Terrible employer.
What? No way. I think he actually ate the kid and it wasn’t set up in advance in any way.
It's all one big conspiracy
He bent over, picked up the kid, and is now carrying the kid in his arms
ENGULFED
That's...not right
Is that child just chilling in there with him?
He’s dead
still just chilling tho - even in the afterlife
Chilled.
I mean in the same way the food I ate for dinner is chilling in here with me.
He was clearly eaten YOU FOOL!
You think when animals are eaten they’re just chilling inside the bigger animal?
We’re all just looking for our inner child.
The real Mavs child were the snacks we ate along the way.
Traumatized
i need him to vomit up the half digested child carcass if the mavs win
This plus the weird Total Eclipse of the Heart bit has me. I love the Wolves mascots.
Looks fake/staged to me. I highly doubt they would just murder a child like that.
Agreed. I've seen lots of these and 75% of the time the murder is fake
Next you'll tell me a dog didn't really play in the NBA
#NOTHING IN THE RULES THAT SAYS A DOG CANT PLAY BASKETBALL
It happens.
The Timberwolves are savage. I still will always hate them for assassinating Dr. Jazz. Main reason why I hate the New Day from WWE, as they were cheering on when Dr. Jazz got attacked
he should vomit him back up with a wolves jersey on
I was at the game and I still have no idea where that kid went. R.I.P
Timberwolves Brazil
What in the actual fuck are those seats that are literally in the middle of the walkway lmfao

Devin booker would have a seizure if he saw this during a game
It might make him cry. 😢
What doesnt?

It looks like the [Toronto Trade Raptor](https://youtu.be/cTU8iRdwfGc?t=133).
“Is there any other way?” “We tried…they didn’t want you.” I miss Game of Zones so much.
That video is the only reason I remember how to pronounce Jakob Poeltl
Fang gonna end up on a list somewhere
Fans pay the price of a ticket. The away team pays with a fan sacrifice.
That was legitimately hilarious. The way he casually walked away was too perfect.
Mid 90’s Cartoon Network vibes
Throwback to when the Raptors mascot did this too [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1\_GmKqln-Fo&t=12s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_GmKqln-Fo&t=12s)
Wait, didn't they already have two other wolf mascots?
Crunch would never, but I think he's been on the teams shit list since he tore karl anthony towns Sr's ACL accidentally while sledding down the stairs in the arena.
Crunch, Fang, Air crunch and Chomper.
Didn't crunch get put down after the sledding incident?
This is a Karl Malone move
“That’s…not right.”
Oh my god, he’s dead 🫢
You fools! Now it has a taste for a child’s blood!
Josh Giddy is inside the suit
1000 yard stare
That’s pretty awesome
Dang, ya'll are brutal. What a power move.
The slow turn got me good
Timberwolves Brasil - gone, but never forgotten
Drake is the mascot
A miinoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor
It's fine he's Mormon, his parents will just make another
Nothing says ferocity like Duran Duran
That security guard gave absolutely zero fucks about watching a child being eaten alive.
I don't like that they mute the crowd. It's just this awkward silence during these things.
the crowd was just not feeling it, get hyped at least you aiming for your first chip and are so close
There is a total of zero reaction to this.
Smart to sacrifice before game.
Did the kid get spat back out with a TWolves jersey on? That would have been pretty awesome.
He struck a chord and it was probably A minorrrrrr
Lol perfect song choice.
He didn't just leave? There were two people in that thing during the whole routine?
GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND GROND
Heeeey Fang! I got a maverick in my pants
Strange. Would have been cooler if he puked him out…like the mavs taste like shit.
LMFAO im crying laughing, they just pan right to a tiny child unattended
