\u201cWithout a doubt, I had extra motivation against Barcelona. Honestly, it was very difficult for me this summer to accept what happened, but these things happen in professional sports and you have to move forward,\u201d Laprovittola said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also praised Badalona\u2019s victory over two EuroLeague teams: \u201cWe proved that Badalona has the quality to compete against EuroLeague teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reflecting on his individual honors, he added: \u201cI owe what I achieved individually to my family and my teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
