One of the most recognizable and beloved mascots in all of the NBA, Rocky has become a staple at every Nuggets home game. His daring acrobatics and innovative skits have made his performances eagerly anticipated by fans and players alike. Rocky began to gain national recognition when he engaged in a highly publicized, playful rivalry with former NBA player, Charles Barkley. Together, the two entertained fans as Rocky would spoof the bullish Barkley which usually led to Charles physically assaulting the lampoonist lion, all in the spirit of good fun. Rocky also famously jousted with NBA bad boys, Dennis Rodman and Ron Artest.

Rocky is an integral part of the Nuggets Community Relations efforts and he makes countless appearances at schools throughout the region. In addition, Rocky has made several appearances on behalf of the NBA at various All Star Game festivities as well as several international functions. From sporting events to corporate outings, Rocky makes all events memorable. Inquire about having Rocky make an appearance at your school or event by contacting the Denver Nuggets at (303)405-1100.
