La Revolucion de Eduardo Najera
The Mexican Basketball Federation may have finally gone too far. Nuggets forward Eduardo Najera has announced that because of corruption in the Federation he will not play for Mexico during this summer’s FIBA America’s Championships.
Najera’s personal manager, Roberto Gonzalez, said that unless something dramatically changes with the leadership of the Mexican Basketball Federation, Najera, a native of Chihuahua, Mexico, isn’t expected to play for his country during the FIBA Americas Championships in Las Vegas this summer.
“They need order,” Gonzalez said Wednesday. “The Federation has been corrupt for 12 years. They need order so basketball can grow in Mexico.”
Perhaps losing their most charismatic and talented basketball player will be the wake up call Mexico needs. For now, Najera’s decision means the U.S. will probably get embarrassed by one less team.
