You've made it to the ESPN Deportes edition.Stay on current site or go to preferred edition."My priority one, two and three is to continue in the NBA," says Facundo Campazzo.He says it convinced that something was missing.That he still couldn't be what he wanted to be when he decided to go to the best league in the world.It is an everyday battle, to keep fighting to be the best version of oneself.The one that is reached inch by inch, training session and that nobody, not even him, knows what the limit is.Campazzo now chases rivals in the frigid weather of Buenos Aires.There he is, again, the leader of the Argentine National Team, the one who sailed between dreams months ago with the pick and shovel close to the ground.He puts out his chest, sacrifices his physique, teaches that in order to regain brilliance, effort is needed first.Defending so that later there is that oblique pass in the form of a flash to warm up the morning.The medium is the message, and Campazzo is there, once again, to prove it.He returns to be again.It is not about gaining rhythm, but about recovering color.Inflate yourself with basketball to soak up the passion.To smile, because if there is someone who plays like he lives, that is Facundo Campazzo.And he now says that he wants to return to the NBA.That he looks for another chance.It doesn't matter where, but when, how and why.In those words he rests his conviction.His spirit of improvement, that which has guided him throughout his career to stand out, being a boy of average height, in a sport of elastic giants.All ESPN content can be enjoyed via streaming with Star+.Subscribe NOW."Throwing like this, he can't play in the NBA," say the specialists.And they are right.It is a clear, obvious difficulty in a league that demands precision and certainty at the speed of Formula One. A player of his size, a ball carrier, has to be more reliable with the outside shot.And for that he hired Mariano Sánchez in improving individual technique, the same coach who trained Luis Scola prior to the 2019 World Cup in China.Many colleagues have gone through what Campazzo has to do today.He arrived as the best point guard in Europe and his last name was reduced to ashes.They took away all possible medals and returned him to the plain.They made him run down an imaginary lift for an entire season, they limited his playing time, he had chances in dribs and drabs and when it was Campazzo's turn to play there was so much pressure on his shoulders that it became impossible.At the slightest mistake, to the bank.Playing with chains on your feet was never part of the Campazzo ideology.They transformed a multicolored brain into an obedient and disciplined young man.99% of elite athletes would opt for the start.Succumb to the inevitable temptation to transmit frustration with teammates, coaching staff, management.Why did they bring me if they were not convinced?What am I doing here?Campazzo could take a simpler path and no one would argue.The inevitable journey of acceptance.Travel the route of roses back to the old continent.That would guarantee him money, emotional stability and playing time, something he didn't have in the last stretch of the season with the Denver Nuggets under Mike Malone.But not.Campazzo, once again, has a different reading on things.Instead of thinking that the NBA is wrong, he considers first that he is the one at fault.Learning requires these baths of humility and not everyone is in a position to do it.Ah, the ego, that necklace of tons that most caresses and do not dare to remove.Long before Campazzo, Facundo existed.And long before the hugs, the champagne and the autographs, there was a guy who had to stand on his toes for photos.Scale centimeters however you want to appear in the lens.A lad no scout took serious notes for at the age prospects take off.A young man to whom everyone told him, whispered to him, affirmed to him, that he could not achieve ambitious goals.Yet here we are.One more time.Try again.Submerge once again in the waters of uncertainty, risk money and prestige again to measure yourself with the best.One more round, that's all I ask.Who is Facundo Campazzo?A hard head who does not settle.A type made with a strange wood, absurd for these times.That he knows what it is to fall, but much what it is to get up.A wild colt with a revolutionary spirit.They criticize him, push him, attack him, but nevertheless, the guy goes.It seems not, but yes.He advances, and if there is a wall, he scales it, dodges it or knocks it down.As in Peñarol, as in Murcia, as in Real Madrid."Throwing like that, he can't play in the NBA."Fulfills the dreams of him who resists.With Campazzo, never, but never, say never.
