There's nothing funny about seeing highly paid athletes being scared out of their unsuspecting socks by an 8-foot inflatable mascot. Yea right, it's hilarious. Milwaukee Bucks mascot Bango went deep undercover at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on March 28, donning a larger, inflatable Bango costume and standing motionless against a wall as members of both the Bucks and Lakers passed by before the game. When the time was right, the “Great White Bango” struck, drawing a scared reaction from a few of the players and coaches. While Dwight Howard's 360-spin move, Marquis Daniels' curse and the Lakers equipment manager's scream were all fun to watch, nothing quite matched Kobe Bryant's non reaction. Scroll to the 1:06 mark of the video to see the superstar barely look up, completely nonplussed at the giant mascot attacking him. When it comes to laser-like focus, no one has Kobe beat.
