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.'

We're not sure how this all started, but last year the pair got into a wrestling match on the court.
