Portland Trail Blazers center Robin Lopez and opposing team mascots just do not get along.
Lopez once called The Raptor the league’s most annoying mascot, pushed (Rockets mascot) Clutch and wrestled (Pistons mascot) Hooper a year ago.
Some things never change.
Lopez and the Trail Blazers were in Detroit for a matchup with the Pistons on Tuesday night. And after the game, Hooper hid underneath the bleachers and attempted to ambush the big man as he made his way to the locker room. But Lopez was ready for him.
Lopez then picked up the Pistons mascot, flipped him upside down, carried him through a hallway and dropped him outside the Blazers locker room. Poor Hooper looked terrified as he kicked and squirmed while in Lopez’s grasp.
Lopez then took to Twitter to troll Hooper. The Pistons mascot drew a funny picture of what looked like Lopez before the game, and the Blazers center then added on afterward to show him grabbing Hoopers’ head.
A little piece of art @PistonsHooper and I collaborated on…very flattering no? #ThatSignWentUpsideHisHead #RIPCITY pic.twitter.com/5YV3Pxqp2V

Hooper will likely look to get revenge on Lopez in the future. Stay tuned.
