J.J. “Speedy Gonzalez” Barea is pretty short for an NBA player. But you already knew that. It’s the only thing that the casual fan knows about him. But here’s some other J.J. Barea factoids:
-There is a grainy video of him dunking a basketball on a ten foot rim in pregame warmups
-He was once murdered by Andrew Bynum, but on the third day he rose again and ascended to Minnesota
-His girlfriend is smokin’ hot, so smokin’ that a council of all life forms in the known universe convened and declared her “Miss Universe”
-Actually, after doing a Google image search, it turns out that his girlfriend is merely “pretty” but falls well short of “smokin’ hot”
-Nobody can decide if Puerto Ricans are white or not
-He looks white though
One less notable factoid is that Barea helped spur a huge comeback against the Portland Trailblazers, scoring 11 points in the final quarter, but they didn’t even win so it’s not even really a “comeback” per se.
