Meet Rocky: The Famous Mascot of the Denver Nuggets

When you watch a Denver Nuggets game, there is someone who gets as much attention as the main players. It is the mascot ‘Rocky’, the representative runner of the Denver Nuggets of the NBA with splendid performances and excellent fan service. This mountain lion puma character first appeared in 1990 to further boost the Denver Nuggets’ home game popularity.

Kronky Enterprises hides Loki’s true identity, but Denver’s citizens already know who he is.

His entity is a professional mascot actor and performer named Kenn Soloman. According to imdb, he grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and debuted on December 15, 1990 in Denver, Colorado as the mascot for his Nuggets team.

Ken, who transformed into Rocky, has shown outstanding performances not only at the home stadium of the Denver Nuggets, but also at the NBA All-Star Game and various promotional events. His passionate efforts paid off, and he was selected as the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2008, Cartoon Network’s “Most Cool Mascot” in 2013, and NBA Mascot of the Year in 2019. He is known to earn $625,000 (as of 2022), the highest salary among NBA mascots, for his amazing actions that wow fans, from throwing a ball in the middle of the basketball court to climbing the stands.

However, Ken Solomon announced his retirement a few years ago and passed the role of Loki to his son, Drake Solomon. This made for an interesting story of a mascot generational shift, but the Denver Nuggets PR team kept it a secret. However, fans were well aware of Rocky’s behavior, and unlike before, they noticed changes in Rocky, such as missing a shot from the center line.

Recently, while his son Drake is taking a break from injury, news broke that Ken Solomon has returned to Loki’s outfit. The fact that the original Rocky was still playing for the team made a big impression on the fans. If the Denver Nuggets win the championship for the first time since its inception, we will be able to be with him in the history of the original Rockies.
