...and perhaps one more. Re-introducing Eduardo Najera, Spurs' Championship Mascot™.

Didn't Najera jack up a bunch of 3's when he was at OU? Then he comes to the NBA and he's a PF goon when I thought he was going to be a shooter.

His pull down move on Horry was pretty dirty. Like Mark Madsen, you're just happy when the series ends and hasn't hurt one of your players.

I recall Najera and Malik getting into some scraps back in '03.

Why is it the hometown boys always play well against the Spurs?

Why George Karl played him instead of Evans is gonna be a hardcore question, if I was Nugget fan.

Najera should have never seen the light of day.

That I don't know. But I think he had a relative that was a big wig at HEB. I swear the dude looked just like Eduardo and his last name was Najera.

He played at Oklahoma. And he did shoot 3s like I remembered. Apparently he gained his shooting touch during his Jr. year, then lost it the next year and is still searching to get it back.

He does have a lot of energy. Kind of a poor man's Bowen that can't shoot.
