Nuggets mascot hits “impossible” triple on his back from 30 feet in the air

One of the most surprising NBA moments of the night came not from any player, but from the Denver Nuggets mascot.

During the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which ended in a victory for the Denver team, it was Rocky who really stole the spotlight. At halftime, the mascot climbed a ladder placed near midfield, about ten meters high, and decided to attempt an almost impossible throw.

With his back to the basket and after several attempts, he ended up hitting an impressive triple, sending the audience in the arena into a roar. The reaction in the stands was immediate, with applause and widespread euphoria at the difficulty of the feat.

Despite the Nuggets’ important victory, which keeps them in contention in the play-offs, it was the mascot who ended up gaining all the attention.
