JUAN JOSE BAREA: “MEXICAN SMURF?”

Los Angeles Times NBA writer Mark Heisler may be in a bit of trouble. Yesterday, in his weekly “How They Rank” column, Heisler called Dallas Mavericks point guard Juan Jose Barea a “Mexican Smurf.”

This would be a bit of a problem on several levels. Not the least of which is Barea ISN’T from Mexico. He’s from Puerto Rico. (It’s also debatable that at 5’11″ barea qualifies for Smurfdom.)
