|
|
GOING SOUTH: Because his maternal grandparents are Mexican, Sonics guard Earl Watson has decided to join the Mexican National Team this summer and will work out in Mexico beginning in August. It's Watson's first taste of international experience.
"I've got to be in the best shape of my career," he said. "It will be good because we get to play in Mexico and then South America."
Watson averaged 11.5 points and 5.4 assists in 24 games after being acquired from Denver.

Trippy. I did not know Earl was half Mexican. I wonder if he can speak Spanish. Most second generation Mexican-Americans don't speak Spanish but I guess he does because it would be hard to play PG for the team without speaking the language. |

This is very interesting. It just goes to show that you can never base someone's racial background, just by looking in their face.
