Sunday ended the finals in Spain. Valencia beat Avenida(KLS and Tif's former team) 2 games to 0 in the finals. The game on Sunday was at Avenida. About 10 minutes after the game the Avenida fans kept singing the team song for their home team. I was at 2 games in Salamanca, in the 21/22 season. Great "Old" venue and great fans.
If you ever make it to Spain, during a basketball season, try to make it to a game. Salamanca is about 1.5 hours, by express train from Madrid. You can order tickets on line. Stay overnight in Salamanca and go to the Plaza. Great chance you will meet the players outside the Starbucks in the Plaza, weather permitting.
After all of Avenidas games the players sit on the floor and stretch out, you will see them as the camera pans to the right, blue uniforms. The players will often talk to the fans after they stretch. Nearly all players can speak English.
This is what the twitter post says, translated Spanish--> to English.
"When I decided to record this video, more than ten minutes had passed since Perfumerías Avenida had lost the final. It's the same chant as when they win, with the same intensity as when they win and showing the same gratitude as when they win. Priceless value"
