Trivia:

The Milwaukee Bucks' official mascot is Bango. The word "Bango" was originally coined by Eddie Doucette, the longtime play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Bucks. Doucette used the word whenever a Bucks player connected on a long-range basket. Appropriately, when it came time for the Bucks to choose a name for their new mascot, the name "Bango" won the contest.

Bango has been the Bucks official mascot for 30 years. He made his official debut on October 18, 1977, which was Milwaukee's home opener of the 1977-78 NBA season. In addition to the date being Bango's home debut, the game itself pitted Milwaukee against former Buck Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and his Los Angeles Lakers at the Milwaukee Arena. Bango has worked hard to become popular with Bucks fans all throughout the state of Wisconsin over the years, appearing at schools, parades, and festivals as a goodwill ambassador for the team. His high-flying acrobatic dunks, daring stunts, and other entertaining antics still play an important role in energizing Bucks fans at the Bradley Center. Since 2001, Bango has also made perennial appearances at the NBA All-Star Game.

At the 2009 Mascot Challenge, Bango was climbing on the backboard when one of the other mascots, Rufus D. Lynx of the Charlotte Bobcats, shot a ball which hit him in the groin area. Shortly after he was hit, Bango decided it would be a great idea to stand on the rim. While standing on the rim, Bango's right leg slipped through the hoop, got caught on the rim, and he fell through the basket entirely. Bango tore his ACL due to the fall but is still working through the injury, often using crutches or a wheel chair at the Bradley Center. A video of Bango injuring at the 2009 Mascot Challenge was downloaded on You Tube shortly after the incident occurred.
