Mascot week: The start of basketball season

Pitman Day 2009-0610 (399)
Today is the start of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) 2010-11 season, so it seemed fitting to feature a basketball mascot. This is Hip-Hop. He's officially listed as part of team's front office personnel on their website. Clearly, both he and the Sixers' organization take his job seriously. In this photo, it looks like he's wearing a knee brace. Hip-Hop is scheduled for knee replacement surgery. Too much jumping around.

  1. aweful mascot. With a name like the 76ers I want to see a big G-Wash running around the court.

  2. Your blog is giving me nightmares this week, Jill. Sort of looking forward to tomorrow, and sort of afraid.
