Wikipedia - Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional
The National Professional Basketball League (Spanish: Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional or LNBP), officially known as the Liga Caliente LNBP for sponsorship reasons, is the top professional basketball league in Mexico. The league was founded in 2000 with 10 teams.
Notable basketball players who have played in the league include Jamario Moon, Dennis Rodman and Sun Mingming, among many others.
History
Foundation
In January 2000, some teams of CIMEBA (Circuito Mexicano de Básquetbol), the national basketball league in Mexico at the time, exited the league, citing CIMEBA's financial difficulties, and decided to form a new league. On March 11, 2000 the league was founded in the city of Durango with 11 teams participating. These were the founding teams, with the respective city and state:
- Algodoneros de la Comarca (Torreon, Coahuila)
- Correcaminos Matamoros de la UAT (Matamoros, Tamaulipas)
- Correcaminos Reynosa de la UAT (Reynosa, Tamaulipas)
- Correcaminos Tampico de la UAT (Tampico, Tamaulipas)
- Correcaminos Victoria de la UAT (Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas)
- Dorados de Chiuhuahua (Chihuahua, Chihuahua)
- Garzas de Plata de la UAEH (Pachuca, Hidalgo)
- Indios de la UACJ (Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua)
- La Ola Roja del Distrito Federal (Mexico City, Distrito Federal)
- Osos de Saltillo (Saltillo, Coahuila)
- Vaqueros de Agua Prieta (Agua Prieta, Sonora)
The first president was Modesto Robledo. The LNBP set out to support and develop professional basketball in Mexico. The first edition of the league started on August 7, 2000 and finished in December, with the regular season finishing on November 11 and the playoffs starting on November 14. The first game was played in Torreón between Algodoneros de Torreón and Dorados de Chihuahua at the Auditorio Municipal: Dorados won, 80–78. The league coexisted in its first seasons with CIMEBA.
The tournament features a diverse array of teams from various regions, each vying for the coveted championship title. With a regular season followed by intense playoffs, the LNBP offers a dynamic and fast-paced basketball experience, highlighting both local and international players.
Fans can expect high-energy games filled with skillful plays, strategic teamwork, and electrifying atmospheres in arenas packed with passionate supporters. The league not only promotes the sport of basketball in Mexico but also serves as a platform for emerging talent, fostering the growth of the game at all levels.
In addition to the on-court action, the LNBP is committed to community engagement and development, hosting events and initiatives that promote youth participation in sports. Whether you're a die-hard basketball fan or new to the game, the Mexico LNBP promises an unforgettable experience filled with excitement, competition, and the spirit of Mexican basketball.
