    It would make more sense to have a chimp as s mascot, no? Since NASA sent them into space and such.

    Turbo went hard. One of the most exciting moments of my younger days was getting to meet Turbo and watch him throw it down

    Both the Jazz and Pacers are ranked higher. Crack. The Rockets should be in top five.

    Jazz should be at the bottom of the list with Lakers. Those names don't belong to cities without jazz or lakes.

    Buzz the Space Chimp! Genius!!!

    On a related note: I always thought that fat guy in the silver-suit that follows Clutch around was just retired Turbo.

    I was glad to see the Pelicans on that list. At first, I thought the name was horrendous. Then it started growing on me. I really like it now and think it's way better than the Hornets.
