The Coyote (mascot)

[1] The Coyote was first introduced in public at a San Antonio Spurs game on April 13, 1983.

[1] He's known for his slapstick comedy routine, including impromptu interactions with game officials during time-outs, rehearsed skits and dance numbers with the Silver Dancers (the Spurs cheerleading team), as well as for his trick filled antics, such as riding a unicycle, pulling his eyes off, dribbling a ball with his feet or spinning a ball on a pen.

[1] Outside of his presence at games the Coyote performs at over 400 community appearances per year, which is noted as being more than any other mascot in the NBA.

[1] Over the years he has also been featured in numerous local San Antonio area TV commercials and appeared on national morning shows, including Live with Regis and Kathie Lee.

[4] In 2007, he was inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame, in recognition of his hard work on and off the court.
