This is HUGE NEWS! Congratulations to our very own STUFF on winning the NBA Mascot of the Year! This isn’t STUFF’s first win either, he won back in 2016, and 2017.

WFTV shared “STUFF was the only mascot in the NBA to receive multiple honors this season, also winning the 2025-26 Digital Content Award for his “Play the Song” posts and the 2025-26 Video of the Year Award for his “Choices Nope – Yep” video."
