Rocky Mascor, known for his daring stunts and high-octane performances, took the stage by storm last night at the annual Rock and Roll Extravaganza. With his signature style and electric guitar in hand, he commanded the attention of the crowd with his stellar rock and roll prowess. However, as the show reached its climax, tragedy struck. Rocky, overcome by the adrenaline rush and the intensity of his performance, suddenly collapsed on stage. Shock and concern spread through the audience as they watched in disbelief, unsure of what had just occurred. The concert came to an abrupt halt as the paramedics rushed to Rocky's aid.

While the Nuggets are oddly secretive about the identity of the person who plays Rocky, it s believed he passed the torch to his son Drake who reportedly rakes in more than 600,000 a year after portraying the most for more than 30 years. To this day, there aren t many videos with the ability to make me laugh uncontrollably every single time I watch them without fail quite like that clip.
The concert came to an abrupt halt as the paramedics rushed to Rocky's aid. With the help of the backstage crew, they quickly assessed his condition and began administering immediate medical attention. Despite the chaos and panic that ensued, the paramedics remained calm and composed, skillfully working together to stabilize Rocky.
Denver Nuggets Mascot Passes Out During Pregame Ceremony [Video]
The Denver Nuggets mascot had a “rocky” first game as he passed out before Friday night’s home opener at the Pepsi Center.
“Rocky” as he is known apparently suffered a dizzy spell or had the wind knocked out of him as he was lowered from the rafters to the court during the pregame ceremony.
Although insignificant when compared to a possible injury, things didn’t go to well for the Denver Nuggets players either as they later lost to the Portland Trailblazers 113-98.
It was potentially a scary and hazardous situation for the mascot, the Denver ABC News affiliate reports:
“The plan was for Rocky to be lowered in a harness, with a spotlight on him, just before the home opener. Fans were horrified when a lifeless Rocky was lowered to the center court where he immediately collapsed. The spotlight was quickly turned off. Rocky was checked by medical personnel before he walked off the court under his own power… The camera angle during the live broadcast made it appear Rocky was hanging by his neck, but the line went to a harness on his back that was hidden by the mascot’s large head.”
Rocky did not return to the floor, but later tweeted that he was okay and hopefully would be back on the court for the Nuggets’ next tip-off.
Given what transpired before the game, Sports Illustrated suggests that NBA teams should consider dialing back the intensity of pregame and halftime entertainment:
“The unsettling scene raises the question of how much is too much when it comes to pregame stunts. Every year, it seems, the bar gets raised… Whatever marginal benefit there was to be gained by air-dropping the mascot was just wiped out by an unforgettable, fairly horrible mental image that is going to linger for awhile. There must be a safer, equally effective method for setting an exhilarating tone on opening night.”
Feeling much better, #NuggetsNation! Thanks for your support. I hope to be back in action for 11/5 vs the @Spurs. Go @DenverNuggets!

On December 15, 1990, the Denver Nuggets introduced the world to Rocky, the anthropomorphic mountain lion that has provided fans with plenty of entertainment over the years. However, nothing tops the unintentionally hilarious moment we were treated to when the person inside the costume passed out during a pregame stunt that went wrong in 2013.
Meanwhile, the audience and fellow performers held their breath, waiting anxiously for any sign of improvement. Time seemed to stand still as they watched the paramedics tirelessly work to revive Rocky. Their expertise and dedication were evident as they diligently performed CPR and administered necessary medications. After what felt like an eternity, Rocky finally showed signs of regaining consciousness. The crowd erupted into applause, relieved and grateful to witness a positive development. Rocky was soon carefully and cautiously transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation and treatment. As news of Rocky's collapse began to spread, fans and fellow musicians sent their well-wishes and prayers, united in their concern for his recovery. They recounted his incredible talent, larger-than-life personality, and the countless memories he had created through his music. The incident served as a stark reminder of the physical and mental toll that performing at such a level can have on an individual. It shed light on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and seeking proper rest and care, even for those seemingly invincible and full of energy. Rocky's collapse not only brought a temporary halt to the extravagant show but also made spectators realize the vulnerability of their idols. It was a wake-up call for performers and fans alike, inspiring them to prioritize self-care and well-being. As Rocky recovers and works towards getting back on his feet, it is hoped that this incident serves as a turning point in his life. It is a reminder that taking care of oneself should always come first, no matter how thrilling or demanding the career may be. In the meantime, fans will eagerly await Rocky's return to the stage, ready to once again be swept away by his incredible talent and unyielding spirit..
