Meet Bob – The Legend Behind the Fur

Bob isn’t just a mascot—he’s a global icon. As the original Phoenix Suns Gorilla, he beat out 500 contenders in 1988 and redefined NBA entertainment with gravity-defying flip dunks, fiery stunts, and unforgettable antics. From starring in NBA Jam to earning a spot in the Mascot Hall of Fame, Bob became “the Michael Jordan of mascots,” dazzling fans in over 20 countries for 33 years.

Now, he’s bringing that same energy and precision to Big Time Promotions. With decades of hands-on experience designing, procuring, and distributing promotional products, Bob is the perfect fit to lead as Director of Big Time Promotions and Big Time Mascots.

He’s stepping out of the costume and into the spotlight—and we couldn’t be more thrilled.
