In the absence of live basketball, the screeching of the shoes on the court, the baskets on the horn, the refereeing controversies or the impossible dunks, nostalgia comes to the rescue these days of confinement. Not only in the treasure hunts on YouTube or in the Teledeporte reruns of those classics always narrated by the unforgettable Pedro Barthe. Even the Supermanager has been reinvented with its retro version. Because the game has already become almost as essential as the Endesa League itself.

Who has not made a team in the Supermanager with colleagues? Who hasn't cursed because they forgot to make the changes that week? He was born there for the 2002/2003 season , 18 courses at the foot of the canyon, in addition to five editions in his version of the Copa del Rey. Up to 55,000 users participated in the current and interrupted season.

But the coronavirus has not been able either with the addictive game in which the user pretends to be the manager of a team, buys players who fluctuate their price according to their own performances in the ACB matches and competes in the general classification or with colleagues in the Private Leagues .

The reinvention of the Supermanager has come with the new SM Kia Mítico , whose first day is held (simulates) on the afternoon of this Sunday the 19th. And they have already exceeded 30,000 teams and more than 15,000 users (you can create several per person) . Versions had been made for World Cups, Eurobasket and the Olympic Games, but never something like this, without competition itself.

This time the user is offered a cast of legendary players from the national competition, including Sabonis and Petrovic (yes, for the first and only time the two giants of European basketball could 'share' costumes, something unthinkable in reality ... ), but also those essentials that saved seasons, Curtis Borchardt, Lou Roe, Marc Gasol ...

The Supermanager KIA Mythical offers the opportunity to compose a team from a market that mixes past and present: 75 historical players competing to achieve record scores every day. There will be five days until Sunday, May 3. Each of the selected players competes with their best year in terms of average rating in the Endesa League. The most expensive player is Walter Berry , who averaged 37 points per game for Atlético de Madrid-Villalba in the 1990-91 campaign. These myths will receive randomly the real assessment of one of their matches that season. It is guaranteed that one of them will be the maximum evaluation of that campaign.

Sabonis, who now 25 years ago signed a 66 rating against Coren Orense, is, of course, the most signed player. Can you imagine the giant in a quintet with Doncic, Oscar Smith, Petrovic and Walter Berry? It can.
