Born in Lucky, Ky., Hooper’s exact birth date is unknown, although Hooper’s birthday party is celebrated each spring at a Pistons home game with Roary from the Detroit Lions, Paws from the Detroit Tigers, and many other NBA mascots.

Growing up, this black stallion had too much energy and talent to be just a regular racehorse, juggling and performing magic shows at an early age. So it’s no surprise that Hooper has trained long and hard to become one of the NBA’s top stunt mascots, from rappelling off The Palace roof to breaking bricks with his own hoof! Hooper can ride a unicycle and a skateboard, and he can rollerblade - just not all at the same time!

When he’s not practicing a stunt or pumping up the crowd, Hooper likes to travel with his trampoline dunk team, The Flight Crew, to schools across Michigan and show them a high-flying acrobatic display in their very own gym. Hooper & The Flight Crew’s trampoline dunk show gets “ooohs” and “aaahs” whether they’re in front of a few hundred students at a school assembly or 22,076 fans at a Pistons game.

Hooper loves to perform for the crowd, wherever it is - birthday parties, festivals and fundraisers, to name a few functions off the court.
