Real Madrid became the first champion of the Basketball League on May 19, 1957. The inaugural edition of this competition was very closely contested and was decided on the final matchday, when our team visited Barcelona with the title on the line. The madridistas lost that game (60-50), but secured the title thanks to the basket average from their home victory in the first round (73-55).
That League featured six teams, and Real Madrid finished at the top of the table with a record of 7 wins and 3 draws. Ignacio Pinedo was the coach, and the madridista Alfonso Martínez was the league's top scorer.
