With the NBA likely expanding to Las Vegas sometime in the near future, I wanted to create a concept for an expansion team that I don't think anyone has done yet. I've seen a lot of very interesting concepts surrounding gambling, casinos, and other mascots that pay tribute to the culture of Vegas, but one that I thought would be really cool is something that connects to the Alien culture and lore that is driven by all the UFO sightings that have been seen in the city. Being so close to Area 51, I thought a "Alien-themed" mascot could be really cool, since it is a big cultural myth of Vegas that often gets overlooked, and there aren't any real alien themed mascots out there yet in professional American sports.  Below is my full concept, and my pitch for who would make the perfect mascot for this team, if they could somehow pull off getting the legal rights for it.
