Facundo Campazzo leaves his place off the court and takes advantage of his first vacation in two years to be in Argentina and rest. In the middle, it is the turn of his first Black Box in a hand to hand unmissable with Julio Leiva.Cordobés of pure strain, became the figure of the successors of the Golden Generation and based on much effort and work he overcame the taboos on the height of basketball players and after shining in Spain with Real Madrid, he already had his first season in the NBA defending the Denver Nuggets, some he imagined.” You dreamed of playing in the Argentine League. It was my dream because I believed my game
it didn’t give. But it’s like you don’t fall, you don’t take dimension many times from where
you’re and at a certain point you think it’s normal,” he remarked on his arrival at the Colorado franchise.

“Maybe the first time I dropped the chip is when I put on the first training shirt and I saw it,” said ‘NUGGETS’. On the 7th, I saw the number, my last name and said, “It’s me. I arrived”, but then the days pass and you take it more normally”, said the emerged in Muni de Córdoba.A his 30 years enjoys one of the best moments of his life, accompanied as always by his wife Consu and by his young daughter Sara, who also steals a little attention from dad. In this journey through his life, Facu also remembers how he made that decision to leave Olympus in Madrid to be an “unknown” in the United States.” What if I hadn’t tried? Together with my partner, my family, with my close ones, we started to think and after I signed I started talking about it, discussing it and I said: ‘Well, we’re going to try, that’s it, I already signed, but I want to try to fulfill a dream, which was a recent dream, because before it was a fantasy… And well, all that happened afterwards.”
Cordoba, however, remains his home. There he not only overcame fears but came to have a court with his name on it. “It’s something that’s hard to believe a little bit, because a court doesn’t feel like it has my name and I don’t feel like it deserves to bear only my name. I’m not used to that kind of thing and I have a hard time assimilating.” There he also drew criticism for his height that helped him grow. assuring that while it was something constant it did not affect him. “Maybe because when I was younger I was in the Municipal or we were all low and we played against Athens as well, against the good clubs that were all tall.” Two issues that have been determining factors in his way of being was to have coincided on court with Emanuel Ginóbili and Luis Scola. About them, he speaks and remembers great moments from his first steps, until Luifa’s retirement at Tokyo 2020, just a handful of weeks ago.
“Manu is a player who changed Argentine sport, not only because of the way he plays, but also because of his. His head, his way of thinking. The truth is that to be able to share and enjoy it is a privilege for me is a pride, “said Campazzo, before talking about the pivot. It’s unique. There’s not going to be anyone like him. For me there is going to be a before and after.
After this, the withdrawal from the selection. It’s the same thing that happens to Manu at the point
that he teaches you things constantly. I don’t need to talk to you, but
when he speaks to you he tells you and tells you in front as it has to be. A proud power has been at his side throughout this process of the Selection”, he closed.
Finally, Facu was not elusive about what has to do with the criticism and pressures, which have focused on the athletes of the Olympic Games. “Personally I try not to consume much, or the good and the bad, I think it’s harmful at both ends, but we come from a pandemic also that a lot of people struggled to train, that struggled to prepare for this. So maybe you don’t know. Thank God there are more things of support than but there are times when you have 10 good things and there is a bad one, and the one that really hits you is the bad one, “he closed.
