    I'm aware of that, and even saw "it" was honored by some publication when I looked on wikipedia. Still, he never had too much affinity with me, that's why Turbo was the man.

    No, the best combination was Clutch and Mini-Clutch! I hope he's out of jail now...

    That was always my favorite. No tramp. How many other mascots in the league could do that?

    Didn't he break the first championship trophy in the locker room? Or was he just there?

    I was listening to Spotify today and a random song came on that didn't know. About a minute in, I recognized it. It was Turbo's theme song (or perhaps a song he frequently used to dunk to). I miss those days. He was the best mascot. Also, the name of the song is called "Reach Up" by Perfecto Allstarz

    Great. Now I have the song on repeat. 4x now. An Astro should use it as their walk up song.

    Watching this vid brought back memories of how much I missed Turbo when he left the Rockets and why it took 10+ years before I stopped despising Clutch.

    Clutch is great, but Turbo was the mascot during the championship years. Besides that, he's just way more entertaining.

    Turbo was not retained due to luxury tax savings reasons
