The San Antonio Spurs have more than just great players and a talented coach, the NBA team has attracted a group of nuns who are praying against their favorite team's opponents.

"When the other team is making the basket I say, 'St. Joseph, sit in the basket, so they don't win,'" Sister Angelita Guzman of The Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco told ESPN.

Guzman is a part of a group of 37 nuns, many retired, that are staunch fans of the Spurs. The Salesian Sisters, a part of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, focus their efforts on helping disadvantaged youth while relating to those young people who love the sport.
