Gigi Datome: It seems difficult to impose the owners not to spend

Gigi Datome, now federal national team coordinator, granted a long interview to La Stampa’s Matteo De Santis. Here are some of his statements.

ON THE NEW OLIMPIA

‘Olimpia has started a new phase with many new players, for whom the Euroleague in Milan is a point of arrival. The choice to start a cycle again is logical, without forgetting that we will start from absolute certainties like Mirotic and Shields’.

ON THE LUXURY TAX IN THE EUROLEAGUE

‘I understand the need for sustainability, but it seems difficult to impose the owners not to spend.

ABOUT THE LBA

‘Medically, technically and financially, it’s growing and of the highest level. The only problem is the facilities, an age-old problem not only of basketball, but of all Italian sport and even the country’.
