Several of the Spanish team players are big fans of NBA basketball. This is the case of Gerard Piqué, who was among the first to congratulate Pau Gasol when in 2010 Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics and took the title.
"There have been people who have got up early to see it.'s A great honor and a great honor to be Spanish and won the ring," said Piqué.
Now, Iker Casillas and Andrés Iniesta have led the initiative to invite fellow Spanish national team to the first game of the NBA Finals, to be held in Miami on Thursday at 20:30 local time and will face the Heat Miami and San Antonio Spurs.
"It will be a very special moment, since it is one of the biggest sporting events in the world," said Iniesta.
Casillas, meanwhile, said that "it is a unique opportunity ... to bring our companions to the end. We look forward to the match."
The team Vicente del Bosque is located in Miami where Saturday they'll play a friendly match against Haiti in preparation for the Confederations Cup.
