In a recent viral video, the Oklahoma City Thunder's mascot pulled a prank on NBA reporter Brooke Olzendam, giving her a little scare before the game.

The Thunder mascot known as Rumble, a giant bison, snuck up behind Olzendam right before she was about to go live. He lingered for a few moments before she noticed he was there. She turned and freaked out, almost jumping out of her skin, while the mascot cheerfully ran away.
She was a little embarrassed but also had a good sense of humor, laughing at what just happened.
She should have been ready for what was coming because she took a photo with the mascot the night before, with the caption, "Ran into my nemesis, tonight. He told me I should be scared tomorrow night…"
Ran into my nemesis, tonight. He told me I should be scared tomorrow night…

It's also not the first time Olzendam has been spooked by a team mascot. Back in 2017, while reporting a New Orleans Pelican game, the mascot Pierre pulled the same prank on her, scaring her just the same.
She's going to have a fear of team mascots after this one.
