The bench seems so much warmer
One reason to go to a Spurs-Thunder game — most years there are four, two here and two in San Antonio — is to see how the student has learned from the master: OKC GM Sam Presti honed his skills working for Spurs head honcho R. C. Buford. (This season, the Spurs lead the series 2-1; the last game is next Monday at the Ford.)
Another reason is the slight but measurable chance of spotting this individual:
Eva Longoria Parker, who turned 35 (seriously) yesterday, is married to Spurs point guard Tony Parker. (He’s 27.) And she’s been known to show up courtside to cheer him on when she’s not working on the Left Coast. This photo, you may be sure, was not taken at an NBA game.
And inasmuch as Parker’s on the inactive list — broken right hand — I’m not looking for Eva next week.
