Denver Nuggets' new gig alert: Apply to be Rocky's backup mascot

The big picture: As primary handler, you will be Rocky's main point of contact at all home games and many outside events, according to the job posting.

• You will help the iconic mountain lion prepare for his public appearances, including helping brainstorm skits, dances and stunts during performances.
• Being a backup mascot means you will be asked to perform at outside events, and sometimes home games if the OG Rocky can't be there.
• You'll also be responsible for cleaning and maintaining costumes and props.

By the numbers: "Predetermined" mascot rates apply when wearing Rocky's costume — which could add up to a big chunk of change considering his splashy salary.

• When those rates don't apply, the hourly pay is $50.
• When acting as his handler, you'll earn $25 an hour.
