what is j.j. barea doing with that flag?

[apesta]

When NBA names it winner the World Champs, why can't players from different countries be able to wave their flag. So every i guess only American flags are allowed? Some of you Americans need to be less ignorant.

I beat Tim Duncan and Shawn Marion in 2004, all by myself. What about you, LeBron?

Well I am thankful a collective voice of reason has begun to shine through here. This thread was actually kind of bringing me down a little bit. I'm also thankful that most posters have been kind enough to emphasize that it is only some Americans who showcase such ignorance.

I never thought you US fellows would have a problem with someone busting out the flag.

I mean, don't you guys bust out the stars and stripers for every celebration ever?

this in other countries we don't have the damn kids pledging to some flag every day, much less have a flag flying in every damn room like it matters

Barea wearing his flag >>> Fake "Patriots" that seem to be everywhere in the US nowadays.

Especially when it involves the current "wars" that are nothing more than an oil grab.

Those people are ultra annoying. And if you're against them and their agenda, then you're anti America, because they are "Patriots." Fake patriots.

Ain't nothing wrong with showing you pride for your heritage!

He's the first Puerto Rican to win an NBA Championship in 31 years and the first one to be on the starting lineup during a finals game too.

So yeah I think its a pretty big deal for us boricuas!
