WATCH: Nuggets Mascot Rocky Douses Grizzlies Fan With Silly String

Bryan Altman

It's not easy being a fan of the visiting team when you go to a game. You're completely out of your element and even though most home fans will treat you with dignity, it always feels like they're eyeballing you with a slight look of disgust on their face at your very presence in their arena.

Even worse than the stares, you're also making yourself a target.

For example, look at the Memphis Grizzlies fan that decided to attempt a Nuggets game on Thursday night proudly wearing a Grizzlies jersey.

The Nuggets' mascot Rocky took notice and exception to it and teamed up with the crowd in the Grizzlies fan's section to launch a full-scale silly string attack that the Grizzlies fan will never forget.

Look at the barrage of silly string this poor fan is forced to endure. To his credit, he took the whole thing in stride.

The most unfortunate thing about the silly string attack is that the nachos the fan just bought were just an innocent bystander that suffered a regrettable fate.

But hey, that's the cost of doing business when you step into enemy territory.

Bryan Altman is, for some reason, an unabashed fan of the Rangers, Jets and Mets. If he absolutely had to pick a basketball team it would be the Knicks, but he'd gladly trade them for just one championship for any of his other three teams.
