Robin Lopez has had enough of your mascotty antics.

The Portland Trail Blazers were in Detroit last night and the visit led to the latest episode in a lengthy beef between visiting centre Lopez and Pistons mascot Hooper. With the mascot laying in wait for Lopez, the player outflanked the horse, catching up with him in a hallway at the arena. He grabbed the little guy and took him for a ride before dumping him unceremoniously on the floor. 'He tried to ambush me first,' Lopez told Forward Center. 'I just countered.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wNDJsMN_zQ We're not sure how this all started, but last year the pair got into a wrestling match on the court. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyluLjS55Hs
