[@elijahzimmerman65]

Jackson Gillies share it!

[@Guydoesstupid-kw1sq]

Thanks Jackson. I appreciate your nice words.

[@davidmaloney5901]

I can relate to this, as a 501st member cosplay as a stormtrooper or jedi--u make a choice to be fun and responsive to others while in a costume...and everyone smiles and wants photos with you as a result. But doing that 24/7 without a costume would be challenging. Then again, it's a choice to put others needs first...

[@ParkerTime10]

Former Disney character performer here. This is exactly how I felt about my job. Done some mascot work since then. Being an NBA mascot would be a dream.

[@herberthahaha]

I had to cry too You are amazing

[@GutsyJunkFox]

Rob Wicall has a unique perspective on mascoting and life lessons...great stuff from the former San Antonio Coyote!

[@cannersamson7931]

Its not that too easy to be assign to work as an mascot, every part of your body was covered, his determination to make people happy is the ultimate purpose reason why he is doing it, but on the other side if you're naturally a frank man you'll enjoy more and always do it for the entire life..

Pretty powerful message

[@jordanmendiola7025]

Great speech.

[@MultilinguistGlobalFitBlessed]

5:32-5:37 - Mascot moment revealed. NOW HE’S FAMILIAR 😂 I felt transported back to Spurs games, traveling from Austin, cheering for mostly Kobe but also Shaq, cursing out drunk Spurs fans (half of them are often drunk 😂) - in fluent Spanish & painfully articulate English, telling them exactly how and where to go F themselves. Once Bron finally leaves & trudges back to sorry Cleveland, I’ll respect my Lakers again. For now I cheer Curry & GSW. Now I’ll see Wemby… as he continues SA’s legacy of big men they stole by being blatant tanking quitters & NBA draft cheaters

[@ericturcott9764]

This is great!

[@samuelnorris2155]

best part at 5:14

[@Publiclighthouse]

I can’t believe he picked on that guy in the audience. He definitely didn’t make that guy happy. He made a moment of embarrassment.

[@full6330name]

I remember when this guy got a sweet chin music from Shawn HBK Michaels :D

[@shawnhayden-jobin8215]

I thought mascots didn't like their jobs but good to hear that's not true (at least in this case)

[@jasonknoll5170]

He looks like a manlier version of Murr from impractical jokers

[@chanb9040]

these things have become a parody of themselves

[@Jabawongky88]

hope the guy in glasses didn't stab him

[@overkillblackjack2910]

Good talk, but no need to single that guy out - twice. Yeah, I realize he was kidding, but the person being singled out may not feel like it was funny.
