Los Angeles Clippers unveil Chuck the California Condor mascot
- 8 years ago
The Clippers have unveiled a new mascot: Chuck the California Condor.
The bird made its entry at halftime of Monday night's 105-95 win over the Brooklyn Nets .
Team owner Steve Ballmer personally introduced the bird, which danced, did flips and dunked with the help of a trampoline.
The crowd was underwhelmed in its response until Ballmer announced that fans would receive a free pair of red Converse sneakers if the owner could successfully dunk.
"In today's world, they're going to make fun of it for six months and then they're going to get over it," Rivers said.
Chuck later tweeted that he enjoyed his debut: The Clippers were one of four NBA teams without a mascot.
Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford were supportive of the mascot, believing it will get kids more involved.
