Robin Lopez and Blaze The Trail Cat

So during Lopez's rampage against NBA Mascots last year, his relationship/alliance with Blaze was never explained or explored.

When the Knicks visit Portland next season, you know there's going to be a incident of some kind.

Give me your best storyline, WWE style.

 

Robin comes in and is surprisingly warm to Blaze. Blaze, however, turns heel and waffles Robin with a steel chair. Afterward, Mike Rice comes out and announces he is advising Blaze from here on out.

 

Blaze comes to give Rolo some dap. Kicks him in the nuts then gives him a stone cold stunner. Takes off his mask to reveal thta Blaze has been Vince McMahon all along.

 

Props needed: a full size cutout of ROLO, and a restaurant check for dinner.

Blaze is near tears with his arms around the cutout. Someone from the Blazers asks ROLO to comfort Blaze, who really misses ROLO. Blaze asks ROLO to sign one last autograph, which or course ROLO will. What he signs is a prepared bill for the dinner Blaze eats just before the game. ROLO gets stuck paying Blaze’s dinner check.

This gag could be taken one more step.

Right after ROLO receives the check from Blaze, the restaurant manager appears and demands his money. When ROLO does not immediately pay, two Portland police officers arrive, handcuff ROLO and escort him off of the court.

 

RoLo calls out Blaze for a couple minutes, Blaze is nowhere to be found, the lights go black... then come back on only for Blaze to be right behind RoLo for an RKO out of nowhere.

 

Of course, it might turn out like this.

Geez - tough room.

Edit: Part of the "joke" here is that Phil Jackson was often called "pterodactyl" during his playing days. I was suggesting that he saw a bit of himself in RoLo.

I know...if you have to explain a joke....

 

You might have better luck with a video like this. You just have to make the story fit the video.

 

Yep!

I'm not sure I can do the story justice, but for the benefit of our younger readers:

You may have heard of a guy named Mel Counts. Star at Marshfield High, OSU, and the US Olympic team. He went on to have a successful career as a key reserve for the Celtics and Lakers. This was when Jackson was a key reserve for the Knicks.

For whatever reason, these guys had a pretty intense rivalry. They laid wallops on each other that would draw a lengthy suspension today. Sports Illustrated described their battles as a WWI Biplane (Counts) dueling a bloodthirsty pterodactyl (Jackson). The name stuck.

No matter what Jackson achieves as a coach and GM, I will always remember him and Counts throwing elbows and using each other's ribs as zylophones!

 

I cant beat these. Some were awesome! My question is. Now that Oregon is legal, is Blaze gonna Blaze at games?
