More Than Just a Fuzzy Face: Rocky's Reign of Terror... I Mean, Cheer!
Rocky isn't your average mascot. This is a mountain lion with moves that would make Michael Jordan jealous (well, maybe not jealous, but definitely impressed). He's a master of crowd control, a champion trickster, and a legend in the mascot hall of fame. Heck, there are rumors he's got a higher salary than some of the rookies! Whether he's sinking improbable half-court shots, engaging in hilarious dance-offs with opposing mascots (looking at you, Benny the Bull!), or celebrating with fans, Rocky brings the fun factor to every Nuggets game.
He's not afraid to get a little messy either. Food fights with popcorn? Sure! Slide across the court on his belly for a laugh? Absolutely! Rocky's all about creating unforgettable moments that leave fans with a smile (and maybe a few stray popcorn kernels).

The Man Behind the Mane: A Legacy of Laughter
But who's the brave soul who brings Rocky to life? The role has traditionally been held by the Solomon family, a dynasty of athletic performers. Ken Solomon, the OG Rocky, donned the suit in 1990 and set the bar high with his comedic timing and acrobatic skills. Now, his son Drake carries the torch, keeping the Rocky spirit alive for a new generation of fans.
