Words of the founders.
Founder and General Manager,
Mr. Francisco Martínez
"Behind each child there is a star and we must give it the opportunity to shine with its own light".
I understand, from my own experience, how sport can change a child's life. When I was in fifth grade, I met the Chilean National Basketball Team Edgardo Arismendi, who came to my school to enhance a sports workshop.
Despite having been the youngest of the group, being overweight and never having played sports before, that was the first contact I had when meeting one of the best basketball players in Chile and high performance sport, I had that unique opportunity of being able to see before my own eyes a sport star of high competition.
He showed his technique, his movement, his coordination, his speed in fast movements and without the slightest doubt HE was a Player Astro.
After a year of training he told me: "Francisco, I want you to go with me to the major leagues, because you have champion pasta." I was 11 years old, I played in the minor series of Unión Española de Chile and I was summoned to the Youth Club Selection at 17 years old.
Since that day, I have not stopped working to give other young people that opportunity to wake up and take off. Sport not only benefits the physical condition and mental health of people, but also gives us order, discipline, responsibility, respect and sense of team, Gratitude, Hope and Resilience.
It teaches us to tolerate frustration and get up, again and again, after falls, where physical fatigue goes to the background and the mind becomes increasingly vigorous, where motivation, overcoming self-esteem reach their maximum found in the Soul of each one.
Every year the countries invest a lot of money in programs to reduce the rates of obesity and sedentary diseases but fail, you have to insent sport as a way of life.
Our goal is to discover new sports talents early, to prepare them and allow them to reach the national high performance sport.
We know that behind each child there is a star and we have assumed the important mission of giving them the opportunity to shine with their own light.
Our motivation is to unite athletically each and every one of the world's basketball legends with the soul of every child on earth, starting in India.
Founder and Commissioner,
Mr. Saúl Grandón

The great idols and legends will always be followed by fans in different countries.
We want the players to continue with the desire to play basketball and to be an example for all the boys and young people who want to play basketball.
Maybe only 3% of people who play basketball, they do it in really professional leagues, but what about the other 97% of people who play basketball in the world? We want to provide a space and healthy competition for everyone around the world.
Why only professional leagues, and not all, have a presence on TV ?. In 24 Sports Legends we will have our Online TV Channel, in which all the games of the world legends basketball league will be broadcast, and we will also have a complete weekly program. Our League will be available to everyone online.
The World Legends Basketball League is a unique league where in its first season teams from Asia and Europe can participate. We are studying the possibility of including a group in Latin America. Everything will depend on the amount of equipment.
The league will accept a minimum of 16 participating teams and we will evaluate the maximum number of participating teams.
There are teams interested in participating from different countries of the world, especially from Asia and Europe.
Our main office will be located in the city of Pune, India.
The prize for the team Champion of the league will be US$1,000,000 and there must be a minimum of 16 participating teams.
We want to provide a unique moment for all basketball players who have been professionals or amateurs and who can participate in our league.
The Social Work.
The social work of 24 sports legends is very important for us, since we want all children and young people to have access to live a moment of joy and also to be able to offer them an opportunity for growth and education as much as possible through activities and some scholarships for children with outstanding talents.
The Basketball League for India.
Basketball in India is beginning to grow and we want to be part of that growth, we want to contribute with our knowledge and support in the best way to promote this beautiful sport in a country as big as India.
We are going to work to create a professional men's and ladies' league. The objective is for the league to have a good level, for Indian players to improve their level considerably by having a good competition and for foreign players who are going to play in India to have a really high level, than coaches and technical coaches they are trained in the best way through international basketball, just like the leaders. All this, added to a good organization and to provide opportunities to all cities in the country to participate, will generate a great professional league, which over the years, we hope you have a good level.
The desire of my partner and founder, Francisco Martínez and mine, is to be a contribution to the basketball of players considered veterans and also provide an opportunity for life and education, through sports, for children and young people in India and of the world.
