Weekend of the All Star Game for America of Basketball. Edition also a little tricolor, with Paolo Banchero, Italian-American star of the Magic – who yesterday, in the first of the two evenings, played the Rising Stars game, the match that sees the best players in the first two years of the NBA. Banchero’s Team Pau won the race, reviving discussions about which national jersey the Seattle-born 22-year-old will choose. “Of course I think I’ll play for Italy. At the end of the season I will make my decision,” he said after the race. Banchero, destined to win the Rookie of the year award, would be the star of the Italian national team who will play the World Cup next August. (Feb)
