Utah Jazz vs Orlando Magic: Overtone - Mascot Deathmath!

Stuff the Magic Dragon was named the NBA’s Mascot of the Year last year. In that year, he’s done some pretty cool stuff, especially famously as assisting on Aaron Gordon’s dunk.

Stuff has been the Orlando Magic ’s mascot ever since their conception as a franchise in 1989. His common antics apparently include back-flipping off of really tall ladders, break dancing to song mashups, and messing around on trampolines, in addition your typical mascot stuff, like messing with the dancers, ushers, and fans alike. As a concept, Stuff makes sense: his name is a basketball pun on the famous Puff the Magic Dragon, his weird and wacky coloring is cheerful and memorable, and the party blowers that come out of his nose are a metaphor for the Magic’s offensive capabilities (as in, decidedly not fire).
