Did anyone notice that, when he was introduced before last night's final, Al Horford's home town was announced as Puerto Plata, DR?
His father, Tito, has always been referred to as Dominican, although I don't recall if he's from NYC or the island.
In any case, because we always search for sports heros--for better or for worse--the newly crowned National Champions have a North Coast boy who played a huge role in the victory.
Whether he ever actually lived in POP is open to conjecture--I am sure someone here can tell us.
