The greatest Venezuelan in history wants more Latinos in the NBA

Greivis Vásquez asked to strengthen the basketball leagues in Latin America to take advantage of the region's talent and facilitate their arrival in the NBA. The former Venezuelan player, who played for teams such as Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors, and Sacramento Kings, believes that local competitions should become a platform for young players to make the leap to the United States and access the Draft.

Vásquez also emphasized the importance of being patient with Karim López, who was selected in the first round of the latest Draft and will alternate between the Memphis Grizzlies and their G League affiliate. The Venezuelan, who knows the franchise well, trusts that the young Mexican will be able to gradually adapt to the competition. Horacio Llamas, the first Mexican to play in the NBA, shared this opinion and called for respect for the player’s development process.
