Today marks 61 years since the basketball team won their 5th league title

On the 4th of February 1962, Real Madrid made mathematically certain on their 5th League title. The squad coached by Ferrándiz got the better of Picadero (87-53) and continued their path towards what was the first ever perfect season. The madridistas boasted a 100% record across all 18 games in the championship.

Our team maintained their dominant run in the league, being crowned champions for the fifth times in the first six seasons. Hightower was also the top point-scorer that year, followed by Emiliano, while Real Madrid clinched a double, getting their hands on the Copa de España as well.
