Ettore Messina gave a long interview to Paolo Brusorio in La Stampa. Here are some passages.<\/p>\n
ON HIS BEING A TOUGH GUY<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cA lie. Messina doesn’t laugh? But what is there to laugh about anyway? And I’m not just saying that about basketball. Anyway, yes, even at 65 you can improve.\u201d<\/p>\n ON THE CENTRALIZING MESSINA<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThose who say that are disrespecting those who work with me. I put the final say in certain strategic choices. And that’s it. Until when? The contract expires in 2026, that’s all I think about.\u201d<\/p>\n ON EUROLEAGUE<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe Euroleague is a show on the court, but it is no longer sustainable. In this diatribe with Fiba, a third player like the NBA can insert itself, which has everything to put European basketball back on its feet and reconcile it with world basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ettore Messina gave a long interview to Paolo Brusorio in La Stampa.
