Toronto Raptors Mascot Dresses as Justin Bieber, Wins at Life

Justin Bieber is from Canada and may or may not be a Toronto Raptors fan. (His mixed allegiances make it unclear.) 

Regardless, the Raptors capitalized on the pop star's Canadian connection during Game 1 of their first-round playoff matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

The team's mascot dressed up as the Biebs and lip-synced (as much as a mascot can lip-sync) his single "What Do You Mean?" during the halftime show. 

The idea was brilliant, and the execution was even better. That backward hat with the bleach-blond hair draped over the eyes—masterful.

The series is up in the air, but it'll be hard for anyone to beat the Raptors in the hilarious fan entertainment department.
