50 seconds...

Two years and 38 days...

If we speak of meteoric projections is to speak today of a boy originally from Trinidad and Tobago, a country that does not reach one million five hundred thousand inhabitants, and that today can say that it have a player in the best league in Europe.

We cannot be more proud of Malique Lewis. Trained at Torrejón de Ardoz and reaching the ACB in record time. And yes, we return to the numbers: 50 seconds on the court, after 2 years and 38 days of continuous effort and with a pandemic in between to overcome in its development stage in Spain. A day that goes down in the history of Malique, of basketball in all of Trinidad and Tobago, and of Torrejón Basketball Academy as well.

Figure of a U-16 squad that aimed for the playoffs and who knows if the Spanish Championship if it were not for the pandemic. In 2020-2021, alternating between playing with the U-18 in a vibrant team that has made us dream in the FBM playoffs, and doubling efforts with National Senior being perhaps the most decisive young player of the category, taking us to a game of the long-awaited promotion to Liga EBA. This is a kid that has just 17 years and 33 days of age. Every step Lewis has taken has been stratospheric.

Beyond the fact that Urbas Fuenlabrada on the day of today December 12 has taken a great visitor victory (74-85) against Casademont Zaragoza, which allows him to leave the lower area of ​​the table by points, the reflectors go to that irreverent forward who exceeds two meters in height.

Congratulations, Malique!
