Luca Vildoza made his surprise debut this Friday night in the NBA and showed that Argentine basketball continues to rub shoulders with the best on the planet.
The 26-year-old point guard played his first game with the reigning champions, Milwaukee Bucks, against the Chicago Bulls, and became the sixteenth Argentine to play at the highest level.

The former Quilmes from Mar del Plata entered with eight minutes remaining and contributed 3 points (1/3 triples), 3 assists and 2 steals in his team’s lopsided 111-81 victory in the first round playoff series.
His great performance, with three pure fantasy goal passes, aroused the admiration of teammates, journalists and fans of the Eastern franchise and his followers in Argentina.

His entry into the game rectangle was unthinkable at the beginning of the game, but with the wide advantage of his team, coach Mike Budenholzer sent the substitutes to rest the figures and Luca was ready to deliver a show that few knew in American basketball. .
In this way, he joined the list of Argentines who wore the jersey of one of the 30 NBA franchises: Juan Ignacio ‘Pepe’ Sánchez, Rubén Wolkowyski, Manu Ginóbili, Carlos Delfino, Andrés Nocioni, Fabricio Oberto, Walter Herrmann, Luis Scola , Pablo Prigioni, Nicolás Laprovittola, Nicolás Brussino, Patricio Garino, Facundo Campazzo, Gabriel Deck, Leandro Bolmaro and now Luca Vildoza.
