Utah Jazz Bear Goes Viral as the Ultimate Creeper
There’s little doubt that the Utah Jazz Bear is one of the best there is in the mascot game. Who knew he was also one of the creepiest.
When the D-League’s Salt Lake City Stars introduced their new mascot, Buster, I joked that the ursine crowd-pleaser’s blank expression was the stuff of nightmares. Apparently, that creepiness is a familial trait.
Buster’s “cousin,” the Utah Jazz Bear, is oft-cited as one of the best mascots in the sports world. In 2006, Bear even earned a spot in the Mascot Hall of Fame as part of its second-ever induction class. However, on Friday night, the usually fun-loving mascot showed his (her….its?!) dark side.
Really, Bear went full-creeper.
