A new wolf from Spain

Hello everybody, I'm a fan of "Unicaja Malaga" team (from Spain) but I follow Ricky Rubio since that he was 14. Rudy and he formed a great big 2 in "DKV Joventud" and they provided much entertainment.

Ricky Rubio & Rudy Fernandez en La Casilla (via RodmanCAI)




Rudy has not made ​​it to what was expected because he has not had the confidence of his coach and the franchise. In Spain we are happy that Ricky is different than with Rudy, and we are sure he will not disappoint you in a long term.

Here you have a great newspaper article signed by a great journalist Spanish on Ricky and Wolves

Welcome!

Don’t worry about your English—it works well enough. You wouldn’t want to see my Spanish.

Cual es la tempuratura? Hace frio y hace mucho color?

Jesus, been 23 years since my one year of high school Spanish and that’s all I got and I’m pretty sure I butchered it.

So yeah Lobo, you’re English is fine and us liberal Minnesota folks feel guilty we only know English and words for Scandinavian food. So don’t worry about it. Welcome to the Wolfpack!

I can order a beer and get myself to the restroom,

and I also have a textbook dialogue (from 1981) stuck in my head that my brother and I reenact from time to time.

It goes something like

Hola, Ramon! Como estas?
Asi asi. Quien es la chica?
La chica es mi amiga, Maria.

And then it ends with all of us cracking up, because that’s the extent of our conversational Spanish.

He (she? no hints in the post) will also

become aware of how often competent native English speakers can sometimes have trouble with English. :)

I´ve been learning English at Blazersedge (Blazers blog).

It´s not the most academic way, but it´s the most entertaining one.

I bet you've learned all the curse words

and all of the anatomical terms regarding the knee.

by Cynical Jason on Jan 3, 2012 1:07 AM CST up reply actions  

I will have to go somewhere else to get my grade in cursing. It´s not allowed at Blazersedge, not even disguised.

Regarding anatomical terms the learning process has been wide open, with things going from every little detail of a knee, foot or back, to the magical Oden´s third leg.

by amlmart1 on Jan 3, 2012 2:29 AM CST up reply actions  

"Oden's third leg."

I am scarred for life by that picture.

Yeah, but

MAYN writes in a dialect all his own. I don’t know how useful that will be outside of CH.

well, a rare discipline is not a worthless one

especially if studying under a world-class scholar. Mayn is the Umberto Eco of ebonics.

i thought i posted this the first time, i guess not

Eso dicen los números, que sin embargo no dicen nada de cómo domina el ritmo del partido, haciendo que la defensa piense y vacile mientras sube la bola, sabiendo que puede pasar cualquier cosa.

This is what the numbers say, but none the less they dont say how he dominates the rythm of the game, making defenses think and hesitate while he gets ahead with the ball, knowing that he can pass anything.

Sabe que el balón va a volver, porque todos están de acuerdo en que mande él. Sabe que sus compas se van a desmarcar cortando o bloqueando, porque tienen claro que si están abiertos, Ricky les va a pasar. Sabe que cuando habla, le escuchan.

He knows that the ball will come back, becaues everyone agrees that he is the boss.
He knows that his teammates are going to get loose slashing and screening, because its clear to them if they are open Ricky will pass it to them. He knows that when he talks, they will listen.

Rudy Fernandez could be a great guy to have on the team. I think he is a wing player and being someone who Rubio has played with for years could really pay off.

Its great that Spanish basketball fans are paying it attentionto the Wolves. Here at Cannis Hoopus i think they will bring an interesting perspective.

by MarkGerard on Jan 3, 2012 8:40 PM CST reply actions  

Almost perfect in a very difficult one.

I think “sabiendo que puede pasar cualquier cosa.” should be translated as “knowing anything can happen”, which is what defenses are thinking and making them hesitate.

by amlmart1 on Jan 4, 2012 12:51 AM CST up reply actions  

you're right

that’’s much better, thanks

by MarkGerard on Jan 4, 2012 10:14 AM CST up reply actions  

Welcome LoboMalague

is there enough interest to open a Canis Hoopus chapter in Spain? It would be interesting to globalize and localize our ties.
