🚨🇲🇽 #KarimLopez made history on June 24, 2026, when he became the first Mexico-born player ever selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. The milestone comes nearly 29 years after Horacio Llamas became the first Mexico-born player to appear in an NBA game in 1997. Before Lopez, only four Mexico-born players had reached the league: Horacio Llamas (1997), Eduardo Nájera (2000), Gustavo Ayón (2011), and Jorge Gutiérrez (2014). 🏀🇲🇽 foonewsmedia / #foonewsmedia
