Moondog would like to make it very clear that The FORMER mascot of the Cavs (Whammer) is no longer involved with, employed by or allowed around Cleveland Cavaliers basketball.
The only white polar bear ever seen in Cleveland was the long-time mascot of the Cavs during the 1990s. Whammer proved to be a poor floor leader and was never able to inspire the team or fans. In the late 90s, Whammer started missing games and was eventually asked to leave his position.
In the summer of 2003, just after the Cavaliers signed Moondog to a long-term contract (and drafted LeBron James), Whammer started making inquiries into the seemingly vacant mascot job. His efforts to regain his position were rebuffed by the Cavaliers, who were looking for a more loyal and trusted floor leader.
Whammer officially wore out any welcome at The Q when he appeared alongside the King (Sacramento’s mascot) at a game in April 2005.
The white polar bear remains unemployed by the Cavaliers, despite his stream of annoying letters, calls and emails asking for his job back.
