Portland Trail Blazers center Robin Lopez attacked the Detroit Pistons mascot, Hooper, before Sunday night's road game at The Palace at Auburn Hills.
Lopez apparently did not appreciate the afro-style wig that Hooper was wearing, which bore a striking resemblance to Lopez's hair style. After taking Hooper down, Lopez grabbed the wig, put it on his own head and taunted Hooper a bit before relenting and giving the wig back.
It's safe to say Lopez sent a message Hooper and all other mascots that he is not to be trifled with.
