My sister went to the game in DC tonight. She said that the Kiss Cam was moving around the arena and locked in on Manu and Oberto.
The crowd started making alot of noise, prompting Manu to look up at the jumbotron. Manu complied by clutching Oberto's head and giving him a kiss on the side of his head. Oberto was apparently clueless as to what was going on. They were both sitting on the bench at the time.
I thought that was pretty funny.

"Ginobili and Oberto were good sports when their faces were shown on the big screen during the "Kiss Me" timeout, an in-house promotion in which fans are encouraged to get their dates a smooch. Ginobili leaned over and gave his teammate a peck on the side of the head."
YouTube clip, anyone?
I was at the game, yeah, it was pretty funny, gino gave him a kiss on the forehead, everyone in the building was cracking up.
HAHA! That's nice of them to not act above the arena's activities.
why wouldnt they? they are there solely for the entertainment of the fans -- thats all. I'll be damned if they won't act along with the arena's games
Yeah, it was cool of 'em to play along for the fans.
well, wouldn't some players just waive em' off and ignore them, til the fans just go "aww" all let down?
Too soon for youtube ?
the crowd wanted a professional male athlete to kiss another? san francisco arena forum.
Hahahaha...I had tickets but I gave them to my co-worker because I got sick. It's ok, I'll be in Tx in April for the Spurs/Suns game.
That was funny
Who said Spurs were boring?
Well done by the MCI center entertainer
I was at the game too. Manu gave him a peck to his left cheek. The crowd laughed pretty loud at it
Ahem, Verizon Center.....That was funny

I think they must have thought for a moment they were at a Mystics game.
The Verizon Center does some whack sh1t.
Believe this or not, they actually scroll across the bottom of the Jumbotron which promotional game is coming up next.
People who don't know basketball.That was funny

I applaud Manu for playing along.
I guess thats a new thing b/c they didn't have the jumbotron they do now from last year's game against SA.
Yah, I was at the game too... It was one of the highlights of the night for sure. I was happy to see Manu play along. Instead of shrugging it off or getting upset about it like many would have done, Manu made the camera crew look like a bunch of asses by having fun with it. I've got pictures of the game (not of the kiss) and I'll post them later if anyone is interested in seeing.
There were a ton of Spurs fans there. I dunno if it was 10%, but it sounded that way by the crowd noise.
I know one of the groups they propped on the scoreboard was a Trinity University Alumni group.
I'm always interested in game pics.
Please share!
True. I was actually really disappointed by the Wizards fans. The Spurs fans seemed to be nearly as loud as the Wizards fans at times. IMO that's a terrible shame if you're a Wizards fan.
Then I will be sure to post them!
DC is really a one-team town. With the exception of the Redskins, if you're not winning, they don't particularly care one way or another.
There were about five college guys in the row in front of me. About a minute into the game one of them said to another, "Hey, no Tony Parker?" Then, midway through the second quarter, with the score around 32-31, another guy piped up, "Wow, this is a weird game, not a lot of scoring." It was as if they had never heard of the Spurs before.
