However, an unlikely satire has appeared in the form of the San Antonio Spurs’ beloved mascot, Coyote, who recreated Mimi’s lip syncing snafu during the halftime of a game between the Spurs and the Toronto Raptors.

Surrounded by the Spurs dancers as his background dancers, Coyote lip syncs to MC’s “Emotions” while wearing a leotard and sparkles before stomping off the court after experiencing “technical difficulties.”
