The Denver Nuggets’ mascot, Rocky, is the best one there is and there is no debate about it.
Rocky has certainly en-grained his presence in the Pepsi Center.

ADVERTISEMENTWhether it’s from chilling with two Broncos players ( former Broncos Monte Ball and Julius Thomas), to hitting a half-court backwards granny shot, to having a personal beef with Russell Westbrook, to laying out a kid in a pee wee football game with help from fellow Denver mascot, Miles, he is one of the best things in the Mile High.

Seriously, how many other mascots can say they have beef with Russell Westbrook of all people? Oh, and do not forget celebrating with Denver Broncos linebacker, Shaq Barrett after he makes a half-court shot at halftime and coming out on a motorcycle.
There are other great mascots, but Rocky takes the cake. The mascot has proven to be a spectacle at Nuggets games over the years and he is fun to watch. Out of all the mascots, he seems to be the best in the entire NBA. He has done his work in a professional manner for God know how many years, and always has something new up his sleeve.
He is entertaining for the kids and he is half the reason fans should go to Pepsi Center, other than to support the Nuggets of course. It is hard to explain, but Rocky is just simply awesome. Do not let anyone tell you different and if they do, you make sure to educate them properly.
Denver Nuggets home games would not be the same without super mascot, Rocky.
Denver Nuggets Mascot Rocky revealed as highest-paid NBA mascot with colossal six-figure salary
The Denver Nuggets mascot has been revealed as the highest-paid mascot in the NBA.
That's right, cult hero Rocky rakes in a reported $625,000 a year thanks to his extortionate salary.
But it seems news of his hefty earnings was praised by the wider NBA community with a big portion of fans clearly knowing just how good at his job he is.
AdvertAccording to Bleacher Report, other NBA mascots make around $60,000 per-year on average.
Rocky makes over 10 times that amount.
But it's not just his fellow mascots who he's balling out on, as it turns out his salary isn't far off what the NBA players themselves make.
AdvertFor the 2021-22 season, the minimum annual wage for players was $925,258, meaning Rocky made just $300,000 less than the lowest-paid NBA star.

And, if you've seen the big man in action, it's easy to see why.
Not only is Rocky a master at keeping the crowds inside Denver's Ball Arena hyped up, but his death-defying stunts are nothing short of insane.
From balancing on ladders at break-neck heights to effortlessly landing multiple backflips and sinking halfcourt shots, Rocky is at the centre of the Nuggets' entertainment and spectators absolutely love him.
AdvertSo it comes as no surprise that Twitter had a field day when news of Rocky's pay cheque broke, spitting out all sort of hilarious memes to heap praise on the mega-money mascot.

Reviews for "The Many Talents of Rocky: A Multifaceted Denver Nuggets Mascot"
- Sarah - 2/5 stars - The Nuggets mascot is just too over-the-top for me. I understand that mascots are supposed to be energetic and fun, but this one takes it to a whole new level. It's constantly jumping around, making loud noises, and trying to get everyone's attention. Instead of adding to the game experience, it just distracts me from what's happening on the court. I would prefer a mascot that is more low-key and doesn't steal the spotlight from the players.
- John - 1/5 stars - I really don't understand the purpose of the Nuggets mascot. It's just a guy dressed in a bizarre costume who runs around the arena, without adding anything meaningful to the game. I find it annoying and unnecessary. It seems like a desperate attempt to entertain the crowd, but it falls flat for me. I come to the games to watch basketball, not to be distracted by a silly mascot.
- Emily - 2/5 stars - The Nuggets mascot is just not my cup of tea. I find it to be quite childish and not fitting for an NBA team. I know that many people enjoy the entertainment value of mascots, but I find this one to be too cheesy. It doesn't add any excitement or enthusiasm to the game for me. I would prefer a more sophisticated and engaging entertainment experience at the games.
- Michael - 2/5 stars - I'm not a fan of the Nuggets mascot. I feel like it's trying too hard to be funny and entertaining, but it just comes off as forced and awkward. The constant dancing and antics feel out of place in the context of a basketball game. I think the team should focus on improving the overall game experience rather than relying on a gimmicky mascot to keep the crowd entertained.
