Amedeo Della Valle, anecdote about LeBron James

The words of Della Valle

Amedeo Della Valle spoke to the Foglio about Germani Brescia’s moment: “Things are going well. We are having fun. We have found a team balance and played a stellar first round: our goal è to reconfirm ourselves. We are aware of our limitations, but we do not want to set ourselves any more. As for me è credit to ad Ferrari, who wanted me here to play a responsible role.

"I try to understand the needs of the group, how to keep harmony high. È that way we can make a difference. We will win games, we will lose others, but with work ethic we go far. The passion in the cityà è has grown so much in recent years. You can feel it in the streets, in the arena that is always full. Results drag, lead people to be ambitious and demand more and more. A double-edged sword: by now in Brescia you have to win, to keep the public on your side”.

Anecdote about LeBron James: “I have known many in my career: Jokic, Giannis, Doncic. The best. Yet I still think back to when I first saw him: è different. È different in the way he is looked at, in the energy he exudes. I have never seen people react like that; in front of a human being. What did I say to him? The first two shits I could think of about Italy: I knew LeBron had just been there. "Ah, cool" he replied. È finished theì. But I could not leave without talking to him”.

"The ideal partner: Manuchar Markoishvili. The most uncomfortable opponent: Belinelli, you can only hope he makes a mistake. And then the years at Reggiana, fantastic and unrepeatable. Soì like these in Brescia: I try to enjoy them every day, with the wish that they last as long as possible. But never take them for granted", he concluded.
