Reggio Emilia, Tarik Black presents himself with clear ideas

The words of Tarik Black

At the "Caffè Arti e Mestieri", in the heart of the historic center of Reggio Emilia, was held the press conference for the presentation of’the latest biancorosso acquisition Tarik Black. "We welcome with a contract until the end of the current season a player whose career certainly needs no introduction" first pointed out Sports Director Filippo Barozzi.

"An experienced athlete, with important years in the NBA and Euroleague behind him. Black è an area man who will provide us with a defensive presence in the pitturato and a greater balance in the distribution of our offensive possessions, thanks to inside game, deep receptions as well as the ability to create advantages for the outside with blocks and second possessions from rebounding".

"First of all, I want to thank Pallacanestro Reggiana for this opportunity – the first words of Tarik Black -. I remembered the value and ambition of this Club from the days of the FIBA Europe Cup final, where we battled each other on the parquet. Then, I got to talk to a lot of guys I already knew, such as Jamar Smith, Langston Galloway and Briante Weber, and I realized that this was the right place".

The new acquisition of the red-and-whites has clear ideas: "I got back into the game now after a few months stopped for a choice related to my family: I wanted to stay close to my wife and assist her in the birth of our third child. Now I am ready to prove my worth, I have a great desire to compete at the highest possible level, get to know my teammates and their characteristics and make myself available to the coach to help Reggio win as many games as possible".
