NFL legend Peyton Manning was in attendance for Friday night’s Celtics-Nuggets game in Denver, and Nuggets mascot Rocky approached the former Broncos star in the fourth quarter to get an autograph. Manning signed Rocky’s football, and then signaled for the mascot to go long across the court to catch a pass.

Manning put his throw in a perfect spot, as expected, but Rocky couldn’t manage to haul the ball in with his oversized hands.
