Why Latinos Should Love The Spurs As Much As Tapatillo

A reader sent us this list of reasons Latinos should root for the San Antonio Spurs to repeat as NBA Champs from Ken Burns Hates Mexicans (heh). While we don’t feel that Tony Parker’s marriage to Eva Longoria should make the Spurs the defacto Latino team (um, have you seen Vanessa Bryant?), we love the following point:

Once, on a live post game TV interview, Bowen called Seattle guard Ray Allen guey and the censors had no idea what he was talking about.

This is by far KBHM’s best reason to root for a Spurs repeat. Any scenario involving a black guy calling another black guy guey, while simultaneously throwing the FCC into a tizzy, is seventeen kinds of awesome in our book. The rest of the list is after the jump.

  • Point guard Tony Parker regularly attends the Alma awards.
  • Point guard Tony Parker is also known as Mr. Eva Longoria.
  • Taco Cabana banners hang on the same rafters as the 1999, 2003, 2005, and 2007 Championship banners.
  • Forward Bruce Bowen is married to a Cubana and speaks fluent Spanish.
  • Guard Manu Ginobli and center Fabrico Oberto are from Argentina.
  • You will never see so many Raza faces at a major sporting event in the United States this side of a Chivas USA soccer game.
  • Tim Duncan, arguably the best player in basketball the past decade, is neither power forward nor center. Ni de aqui ni de alla. In between. The embodiment of the Chicano experience.
  • The Spurs fans sing Volver during the time outs.
  • And, most importantly, the NBA title now rests safely back in Aztlan.

It would be difficult to give up my love for the Lakers, nurtured by too many hours watching Channel 9, mezmerized by Chick Hearn, but this is almost too good to be true. No L.A. team, no matter how much I love or hate them, can pull of these kinds of feats on and off the playing surface for raza all over well. Los Doyers come close, though.

Time to get Joe Torre to Pico Rivera for immersion and Nomar pocho-fied, quickly.

NO GUEY! WAY! The Spurzzzzz are the most boring team in the history of sportzzzzzzz…..buenas noches
