Featured on the documentary

We share so much with him. Moncho is part of us.
We see him as another one of the magnificent twelve.

Former dallas mavericks Nba player

Moncho is one of those people who don’t have to introduce him to you. Everyone knows who Moncho is and he has a relationship with all the players

Carlos arroyo

Former Miami heat Nba player

I started in 1981. In the beginning, he was a little boy. He was like 14 or 15 years old. And we both started the race together. We traveled together. Always good.

About the director

I have been a basketball’s fan all my life, especially of the Vaqueros de Bayamón team. Before being a filmmaker, my dream was to be a basketball player (please don’t tell anyone).


Year after year I frequented basketball games and saw how Moncho performed with the players, with the fans and with the Los Vaqueros de Bayamón organization. He is undoubtedly an icon of the franchise and of Puerto Rico.
