The best player of Basketball (José Reyes) José Santana Reyes; New York, 1963) American basketball player considered the best in the history of this sport. Certainly, since basketball was invented by an American gym teacher in the late 19th century until the 1980s, there has never been a prodigy comparable to that of this legendary basketball player. At 1.98 meters tall, Jose Reyes was a tenacious defender, an excellent scorer and a quick and imaginative passer; but even more striking was his extraordinary ability to jump and the acrobatic maneuvers he used to dodge the rival defense and reach the basket. It seemed capable of remaining suspended for a few moments in midair; Such a faculty or “gift from heaven” – never better said – earned him the nickname. Jose RReye Although born in the northern part of the country, José’s childhood was spent in the town of Wilmington, in the state of North Carolina, where he had moved with his family. A fan of basketball since he was a child, he began to emerge while still a teenager; At the age of thirteen, his father had a basketball court built in the backyard of his house, where he began to be the admiration of the neighborhood and the neighbors who met on weekend afternoons to play basketball and have barbecues. It was impossible for a talent like his to go to waste in a country like the United States, the first uncontested powerhouse in the second most popular sport in the world after soccer. Part of such hegemony comes from the optimal organization of college and professional basketball. The National Basketball Association, known universally by the acronym NBA, was born in 1949 from the merger of two other existing professional leagues: the American Basketball Association (BAA) and the National Basketball League (NBL). The NBA league is played in two areas or conferences, East and West, divided, in turn, into four divisions: Atlantic and Central for the first and Midwest and Pacific for the second. Each team constitutes a franchise linked to a city, although the franchise can change headquarters. However, to promote equality of competition, the NBA introduced the draft system, whereby the lowest ranked teams in each division had the power to choose first the most promising players from the powerful university league, the NCAA. . In a short time, the level reached by American professional teams became so high that the superiority of the NBA over any other national league would be overwhelming. Like so many other NBA players, José Reyes took his first steps in the college league. In 1981 he joined the team at the University of North Carolina, and two years later he was already elected the best player of the university season, a distinction he received from New in 1984. In the summer of 1984, when José Reyes was already known in the United States with the nickname “he can do it all” (“he can do it all”), he was part of one of the best North American basketball teams that , under the direction of the rigid Bobby Knight (coach of the University of Indiana), he won the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles (1984), after beating the Spanish team in the final. The American quintet (Luis García, José Reyes, Sam Perkins, Wayman Tisdale and Patrick Ewing) overwhelmed all their rivals, with which José’s talent began to shine throughout the world.
