Bango Gets Bucked

First Milwaukee Bucks All Star shooting guard Michael Redd tore up his knee. Then, former #1 pick Andrew Bogut went down with a season-ending back injury. Days later, starting point guard Luke Ridnour broke his thumb in practice. As if Bucks fans needed another reason to believe their season is cursed, there was the news that even the mascot couldn't make it past the All Star break without a major injury.

In the link below, you'll see how it happened. It's an opportunity for Bango to teach us all the important lesson that just when you think it can't get any worse, it usually does.

Yep, that's Bango the Buck providing an assist to Charlotte Bobcats mascot Rufus with a little help from his pearls. In an attempt to draw attention away from his embarrassing faux pas, Bango decided to resort to the always popular "dropping yourself through the basket, while tearing your ACL". At first glance, somewhat impressive. After further review, probably not the ideal way to help the crowd forget you just had a ball thrown off yours from half court.
