The Suns Gorilla
The Phoenix Suns
The Suns Gorilla or "Go" as he is affectionately called raised the bar before the NBA even knew there was a bar to raise.
Before GO or BG fans would go to a game and see the same old stuff. After Go or AG there was an opportunity to see a character performer launching themselves off of mini-tramps executing high flying acrobatics while performing spectacular dunks. BG there was the same old thing. AG there were fun and creative in game skits and routines performed by NBA mascots on the court in quarter breaks and timeouts that would leave you rolling in your seats.
BG it was the same old thing. AG it was just plain better!
The Godfather of the mini-tramp dunk the Suns Gorilla flies high to his rightful perch in the Mascot Hall of Fame.
