Enrico Campana teases Olimpia Milan

Enrico Campana, for years the Gazzetta dello Sport’s first byline and a world-class journalist for basketball (but not only) teases Olimpia Milano, which in the coming season will try to confirm itself at the top in Italy and also make as much progress as possible in the Euroleague.

“Why doesn’t anyone say, talking about the Armani market, that this season the team will have as many as 12 players over the age of 29, with the Jurassic Hines and Datome?” he asks on BasketVISION “Sport Culture,” which in its fifth year launches the “Why?” column, the brilliant pen from which, among other things, sprung ‘Mozart of hoops,’ the nickname of the late Drazen Petrovic.

This past season, Ettore Messina’s team returned to win the Scudetto, snatching it from the jerseys of Virtus Segafredo Bologna. The red-and-whites, who had finished in second place in the regular season right behind Sergio Scariolo’s team, immediately brought the court factor to their side in the final series and never let the Felsinians catch them again. In the Euroleague, Sergio Rodriguez (who said goodbye to the Red Shoes in the summer to return to Spain) and his teammates were eliminated by Ergin Ataman’s Anadolu Efes, who would win the tournament for the second year in a row.
