OH NO! NOT THE MASCOT

During the timeouts in the N.B.A games it is the mascots job to entertain the crowd and keep them pumped up for their home team. Not just during the timeouts, but during the games as well. Many mascots in the N.B.A are very athletic, but not all athletic people are perfect, everyone messes up at least once, including mascots.
There is nothing more entertaining then a mascot failing at a stunt that is supposed to hype the crowed. When a mascot fails at a stunt, it weakens the crowed due to strong laughter from the fans watching. Now the mascot is becomes the comedy for the night. Sometimes a mascot may do something funny on purpose, but a fan can always tell what was done on purpose and what was done accidentally. Some mascot bloopers may come from failed dunks, funny dancing, or even fights with other mascots that can be pretty entertaining.
In the video below, there a lot of clips containing some of the best bloopers of mascots in the N.B.A.
