It took the Phoenix Suns 11 years to find a mascot, and it ended up being a gorilla. Go the Gorilla made his debut in 1980 when a singing telegram was sent to the area, and security suggested he stay a while. He’s been entertaining the Suns faithful ever since, with acrobatic dunks (even through fire) and injuries throughout the years. One of the men who donned the costume had suffered broken teeth, a broken finger, stitches to his tongue and surgeries, all for entertainment purposes. It wasn’t all in vain, Go was admitted to the Hall of Fame in 2005.
