Pau Gasol - El Dragon
Jodie Meeks - La Chispita ( The sparklet )
Kendall Marshall - El Niño Marshall
Jordan Hill - Predator
Robert Sacre - Big Puppet
Wesley Johnson - ThunderCat
Xavier Henry - Señor X
Chris Kaman - Submarino Amarillo ( Yellow Submarine)
*Shane Williams - Ping Pong
Nick Young - Rico Swaggy!
Ryan Kelly - Kelly el Niño
Jordan Farmar - Orejas (Ears)
Gary Vitti - El Padrino
Mike D'Antoni - El jefe
Steve Nash - El Mago.

Even in his prime the guy was never a fierce, fire breathing dragon, now he's more like a big, harmless lizard.

For some weird reason I only get the Spanish version of TWC at my house. Watching games is freaking hilarious!! My favorite is "Rico Swaggy"
The best part is they RARELY call them by their actual names |
