BBVA and the NBA

Very interesting (and smart) marketing move by Spain's BBVA bank...

BBVA will serve as the Official Bank of the NBA, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), and the NBA Development League (NBA D-League) in the United States, Spain and Puerto Rico.

NBA Washington Wizards Basketball Games - Spanish Heritage Nights

Our good friend Alfonso Aramendia is putting together a group of Spaniards and "Friends of Spain" to attend upcoming Wizards games at Verizon Center to cheer both the Wizards and our Spanish basketball stars playing in the NBA.

The Washington Wizards will host its first Spanish Heritage Night on Friday, November 19 at 7:00 pm when the Memphis Grizzlies come to Verizon Center.  Grizzlies player and Spanish National, Marc Gasol is scheduled to play in the contest.  Throughout the game, elements recognizing Spanish culture will be featured.   

Members of the Spanish community will participate in a fan tunnel and greet players as they run to the court. Special Spanish guests will be recognized throughout the night for their contribution to Spanish Heritage Night. 

Other games include:

-Friday December 3, Wizards vs Portland Trailblazers (Rudy Fernández)

-Tuesday December 14, Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers (Pau Gasol)

-Saturday January 15, Wizards vs Toronto Raptors (José Manuel Calderón)
