My Italian roots date back to my great-grandfather, my family and I have never been to Italy and I will try to go there in the summer. During high school, I took part in several tryouts with the U.S. youth teams, but they always rejected me. At that point, Italy came forward. Then I had the opportunity to get a passport and I took it, they helped me with the paperwork. Probably without Covid, I would have made my debut at the Olympics, but in the meantime, many things have happened and now everything is different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ftheplayerstribune%2Fvideos%2F2139262372931474%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0\" width=\"267\" height=\"476\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FKnuckleheadsPodcast%2Fvideos%2F1638212689965651%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0\" width=\"267\" height=\"476\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The latest episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/knuckleheads?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#knuckleheads<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/QRich?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@QRich<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/21Blackking?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@21Blackking<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OrlandoMagic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@OrlandoMagic<\/a> forward <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pp_doesit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Pp_doesit<\/a> is out NOW\u2026check it out!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlayersTribune?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PlayersTribune<\/a> \u270a\ud83d\ude0e\u270a<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MagicTogether?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MagicTogether<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZOGMgYUPHP\">pic.twitter.com\/ZOGMgYUPHP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Orlando Magic PR (@Magic_PR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Magic_PR\/status\/1643306998555893777?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 4, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paolo Banchero was a guest on the Knuckleheads podcast and, as reported by Il Tempo today, he spoke again about the national team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":324993,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[379,399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[187],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-324997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-italbasket","category-nba","typology-video"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/Schermata-2023-04-05-alle-09.06.46.png","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/324993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324997"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=324997"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=324997"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=324997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
