After confirming the arrival of the Argentine basketball player Facundo Campazzo to NBAWhere to wear the Denver Nuggets jersey, the former Real Madrid received criticism from a renowned journalist of the most important league in the world and an old rival surprised by jumping to his defense.
TJ McBride, a journalist for the Mile High Sports portal, analyzed Cordoba’s decision to leave his leadership at Real Madrid to travel to the United States and play for a team that has talent in his position. “It’s safe to assume that for Campazzo to come out of a situation like that, he probably has expectations about his role and playing time with the Nuggets. So how will Denver’s rotation with Campazzo on the team work out?”
Then, McBride used his Twitter account to replicate a user’s comment that highlighted the capabilities of the point guard who led the Argentine National Team to the runner-up at the 2019 World Cup in China. “He usually fights on defense and developed some ingenious tricks to compensate for his size. , but those issues will be much more worrisome when I get to the NBA. Shane Larkin abused him many times and that is the type of player who will defend him in the United States. Don’t get your hopes up here, “he described.
The tweet reached Shane Larkin, currently at Efes in Turkey, who faced Campazzo several times in the Spanish League when he played for Baskonia, and rehearsed a brief defense towards the Argentine: “He’s not the same boy he was a few years ago, so don’t discredit him. It’ll be fine.”.
McBride highlighted the basketball player’s response and tweeted: “Here’s Shane Larkin – Euroleague MVP and Campazzo rival – showing love for Campazzo’s defense. It is definitely better than what is advertised. He knows what he’s doing and he fights on defense. “
Despite the criticism he may receive for his height – he measures 1.79 meters – Facundo has already demonstrated his quality by becoming the most important point guard in the FIBA world. And he also warned that he is looking for his great illusion: “I must go to fulfill my dream. I have a life waiting for it”, He said in his letter farewell to Real Madrid.
