They've been wearing those the last week or 2 in Miami, I saw 2 weeks ago Spurs @ Mavs and their jerseys said; El Spurs, and El Mavs. What is this the Mexican Basketball Association?

The NBA does Latino fan appreciation nights occasionally in metro areas with large latino populations. Miami, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Phoenix, and Los Angeles are a few that I am aware of. Started doing it about 3 years ago, I think.

wouldnt it make more sense to say el calor then?

hmmm, maybe I chose the wrong user ID... I blame it on tequila and that hot senorita across the street.

Well, considering the way the Mavs have been playing this year, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call them the "Las Mavs?" :laugh:

I kinda find it corny...is a hispanic american living in one of those metro-areas really going to see that and go "wow, they are really speaking to me!"

Agreed. Seems kind of hokey.
