I saw the Heat last night had their jersey's changed to "El Heat", and last week, the Spurs changed theirs to something like ""Los Spurs".

What with this?

On February 24, the NBA announced the launch of its third annual Noche Latina event, a program that recognizes the NBA's fans and players from across Latin America and U.S. Hispanic communities. Noche Latina will take place in eight of the top 10 U.S. Hispanic markets this season (up from four in 2007-08): Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, San Antonio, Dallas, Chicago, Houston and New York.

wait til the PC police come, and we have a chinese-american day.

the heat will have the chinese characters for "fire," the lakers will "lake," phoenix will have "sun," san antonio "ninja stars," dallas "farmers," chicago "cow," houston "bomb," new york "underwear"
