Everyone’s favorite mascot is big at it! And he’s doing it on a much grander stage!

The Toronto Raptors’ mascot has become a favorite among basketball fans for eating cheerleaders, falling over and consistently entertaining the fans at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

Although this is the Raptors’ other mascot, which has a man inside the costume, the Raptor is still entertaining fans by dancing and shaking his tail.

The Raptors and Nets are entrenched in a game that has been rather sloppy with poor shooting, but is very close and is coming down to the wire in the last few seconds.

This should be one of the more competitive matchups of all of the first round series.
