David Logan continues to defy the laws of time

At forty years old, Scafati’s guard is back from a monstrous performance in the most prolific season of his career: watching him play, you forget what age is

The 40 on the shirt, like the years on the rump. But the lightness is timeless: from triple to triple, complete with a two-handed flatbread – difficult even as a kid, if you’re 1.85m tall. David Logan he always made count only the numbers he wanted. Last on the list: the 31 points with 11/15 shooting which on Sunday allowed Scafati to conquer the PalaOlimpia in Verona, in a fundamental battle for salvation. The Chicago guard had never scored nine three-pointers in a single game. And in this Serie A he had only succeeded Marco Belinelli – another fake old man from our basketball. Let’s therefore spend the usual comparisons with wine, which the further it goes the better it becomes. But what can we do if Logan, born in 1982, is the second best scorer in the tournament (behind Frank Bartley from Trieste) with an average of 17.6 points? What if those 17.6 points represent his best season ever in Italy?
