The day Diego Maradona had a basketball game played even though there had been a murder in the satidum

As the days go by after Diego Maradona's death, more anecdotal or stories about him come to light. On this occasion, it was revealed the day that an international basketball game was not suspended simply because Diego Maradona was going to be present at the stadium.

The match should have been suspended since hours before the match a man killed another in a family dispute inside the stadium but as Diego Maradona was going to be present at that match, the authorities decided that it could not be suspended. Maradona generated so much that even a death was less than him.

One of the members of the Argentine basketball team confessed that episode that took place around Diego Maradona. The Argentine team was facing the Brazilian team in Venezuela and Maradona was just in that country, so he had decided to go see them. This fact happened in 2010 and had never been recounted by Diego Maradona.

Gutierrez also confessed that every time Diego Maradona visited them before or during a game the energy of the stadium changed. For the Argentine basketball team there was no greater inspiration than Diego Maradona supporting them from outside the court. Diego Maradona always generated that in the different athletes that he visited.
