From Genoa to the NBA. Paolo Banchero to discover his origins. “I’ve always dreamed of visiting Italy”

“My family comes from northern Italy and my father always told me about it”. The young basketball talent, elected best freshman in the NBA, told his life to the microphones of Sky: from the passion for football to the night of the draft

Paolo Banchero is an Italian who doesn’t speak Italian and doesn’t play in the blue shirt. On the other hand, he came to Italy for the first time at the end of June, a few weeks after being elected the best freshman in the NBA. Sky summoned him to his studios to celebrate his first 20 years and put him in front of Federica Masolin for a nice chat. From Italian origins to the future. The boy is young but he already has a lot of things to tell. It’s just a pity he didn’t choose the blue shirt. But if you are destined to become an NBA star and the stars and stripes national team calls you, it is difficult to speak of betrayal.
