Topics: Argentine basketball players
Leon Najnudel (14 July 1941 - Buenos Aires- 22 April 1998) was an Argentine basketball player and manager, and one of the main proponents of the creation of the Liga Nacional de Basquetbol. He played for Villa Crespo, Victoria, Barracas Juniors and Atlanta. He died of leukemia in 1998.
On 26 April 1985 the Liga Nacional de Basquetbol was created. It was a project which Najnudel fought for, for a long time. It consisted on the idea of the participation of teams from all over the country, not only from Buenos Aires. This allowed cities with a basketball culture to grow allowing them to acquire national and international experience. The cities of Bahia Blanca and Cordoba, Argentina became important basketball centers.
