American Anthony Young (200-F-89) had a great game in the last round for Libertadores and that's him to receive a Interperformances LNBP Player of the Week award for round 34. The 29-year old forward had the game-high 34 points adding seven rebounds for Libertadores in his team's victory, helping them to edge out Panteras (#4, 16-16) 110-109. Libertadores maintains the 6th position in their group in Mexican LNBP. Libertadores is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 11-20 record. In the team's last game Young had a remarkable 60.0% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He just recently signed at Libertadores, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Anthony Young averages just after three games 27.7ppg and 6.3rpg.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 28-year old Puerto Rican forward Carlos Lopez-Sosa (208-F-90) of Angeles. Lopez-Sosa impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 27 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Angeles lost that game 80-86 to the higher-ranked Aaguacateros (#3, 17-11). Angeles managed to keep the same 7th spot in South. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 11-21 record. Lopez-Sosa is a newcomer at Angeles and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.
The third best performed player last round was American Hameed Ali (188-G-93) of Panteras (#4). Ali scored 29 points and passed eleven assists (!!!). Despite Ali's great performance Panteras lost 109-110 to slightly lower-ranked Libertadores (#6, 11-20). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Panteras needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams in South. Their record is 16 victories and 16 lost games. Ali has a great season in Mexico. After 31 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 19.2ppg (8th best) and assists with 6.9apg (2nd best).
Other top performing players last week: 4. Kennedy Jones (188-G-89) of Correcaminos - 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists 5. Akeem Scott (185-G-83) of Laguneros - 19 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists 6. Jose David Estrada (194-G-94) of Correcaminos - 27 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists 7.

It should come as no surprise that one of the most popular sports in the world is basketball. Having the most watched cups in history, basketball is a hot topic in most countries and a rising sport in other countries where it still grows and thrives on attention. Being such a strong market sports game one would think it cannot be shaken or impacted where in fact, it absolutely can. Losing fans affects marketers, teams, coaches, the audience and even sports books. In order to bring in the cash, the NBA needs to keep its star players on top form. Where the NBA is concerned, there is a new market affecting the games and it's a positive effect. The Latin market currently boasts the largest percentage of the fan base, reaching up to 16% of viewers for the NBA and 13% for the NFL. Sportsbooks are also reaching new heights which has attracted an elite fan base of Latin bettors and brings in some profits, albeit not as much as tickets sold for the bleachers. However, sites such as NoviBet basketball are to attract a massive database of online users within the region in the near future. In fact, there are a number of Latin basketball players who have a massive following and have personally impacted basketball.
Hispanic NBA Players
You would be surprised to learn there are currently 10 famous NBA stars from Latin/American decent, once again proving the Latin market is growing in their fandom. Each of these players attracts market of Latinos and proudly so. With these players making a notorious name for themselves we see a positive future for the NBA in terms of attracting an even bigger Latin fan base. Here are the current stars changing and revolutionizing basketball today.
Angel Delgado-Los Angeles Clippers Al Horford-Boston Celtics Trevor Ariza - Plays for the Washington Wizards Jose Juan Barea-Plays for the Dallas Mavericks J. Calderon-Detroit Pistons J. Hernangomez - Denver Nuggets Marc Gasol-Plays for the Toronto Raptors Ricky Rubio-Utah Jazz Pau Gasol-Milwaukee Bucks W. Hernangom. - Charlotte Hornets
As you can see, amongst just these players and their famed team names, you can imagine the growing fan base and how many more fans basketball is bringing in just with these famous names.
The NBA and the Mexican Market
According to news sources, the NBA is looking into cracking the Mexican market and it would be a great place to start, although many would agree the market has already been tapped into thanks to top players such as the above mentioned. This is accomplished by hosting games in the city and bringing in more home based fans. The NBA has already hosted games at the Ciudad de Mexico in 2018. The games, as usual, were a success and once again the NBA was in the spotlight grabbing the audiences' attention and inadvertently becoming impacted by the Latin market. It would appear that both the NBA and Latin players and fans can benefit from one another.
