Jazz Bear has been named the NBA’s Mascot of the Year for 2018. This is the third time the beloved Utah Jazz mascot has won the award since the league started handing out the honor in 2005. Bear had previously earned the honor in 2006 and 2008. Stuff the Magic Dragon, of the Orlando Magic, won the award the past two years.
The Jazz and Bear were also recently honored by the Information Display and Entertainment Association for having the best in-arena mascot video—a demolition derby battle between Bear and the Phoenix Suns Gorilla—in professional sports last year.
