Orlando Magic mascot Stuff pranks Bulls big man Robin Lopez

Jan 24, 2017, 6:40 PM | Updated: 7:01 pm

Former Phoenix Suns center Robin Lopez has a history with NBA mascots, and it seems little has changed.

By first appearances before the Magic faced Lopez’s Bulls on Tuesday, the Orlando Magic’s mascot, Stuff the Magic Dragon, appeared to be extending an olive branch to the big man. Stuff approached Lopez with a sign that simply said, “Hey Robin,” and the center eyed the goofy green mascot with skepticism for the right reasons.

After revealing a second sign that said “smile,” Stuff finally got a little grin from Lopez. But then, he revealed the entire sign: “Smile if you farted.” Stuff swatted at Lopez and scurried behind Magic forward Aaron Gordon as Lopez stared threateningly in their direction.

Props to Stuff for being so brave, because this isn’t Lopez’s first act of violence against an NBA mascot.
