Wikipedia - Tijuana Zonkeys
The Zonkeys de Tijuana are a Mexican professional basketball team based in Tijuana, Baja California. The Zonkeys are part of the Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del Pacífico (CIBACOPA). They play their home games at the Auditorio Academia Zonkeys. The team was founded in 2010, and won back-to-back championships in 2014 and 2015.
The name comes from the tradition of painting stripes on to donkeys to resemble zebras, a practice once common on the city's famed tourist strip, Avenida Revolución. Tourists would pay to take pictures with or on the zonkeys.
History
The team was founded in 2010 and entered the league the same year. It became the first professional basketball team to play in Tijuana since the LNBP's Cosmos de Tijuana and the Tijuana Dragons of the ABA. They won their first championship in 2014 with a 4-3 finals series win over Caballeros de Culiacán.
They defeated the Halcones de Ciudad Obregón in the 2018 finals in a six-game series.
In December 2019, ex-NBA player Henry Bibby was hired as head coach ahead of the 2020 season. They also opened a new arena, the Auditorio Academia Zonkeys, moving their home games from the Auditorio Fausto Gutierrez Moreno.
The team's name, Zonkeys, is a combination of the words "zonas" (zones) and "burros" (donkeys), which is a nod to the city's location in the border zone between Mexico and the United States. The team's logo features a donkey wearing a basketball jersey and holding a basketball.
The Zonkeys have a strong and dedicated fan base, known as "La Zonkeymanía," who attend games in large numbers and create a lively and energetic atmosphere. The team's colors are blue, white, and gold, and their uniforms feature a distinctive design with a diagonal stripe across the chest.
Over the years, the Zonkeys have had many successful seasons, winning multiple championships and establishing themselves as one of the top teams in the LNBP. The team has also been known for its commitment to community outreach and charitable initiatives, working to improve the lives of people in Tijuana and beyond. Overall, the Zonkeys de Tijuana are a dynamic and exciting basketball team with a proud history and a bright future.
