As a League we continue to innovate the product to make the vision of our championship more and more engaging: on the occasion of the LBA Finals, during live TV, it will be possible to listen to the audio of the Instant Replay reviews with the dialogue of the referees and the voices of the coaches during time outs”.

Gianni Petrucci spoke about the great Milan-Bologna match: “There is great expectation to get to know the Italian Champion team but above all to experience a match after match that excites, divides, unites and makes people talk. The season just ended confirmed the level of our top tournament. Viewers and social numbers are on the rise. What to wish for the Finals? To manage to assign the Scudetto to the last action of the extra time of match-7. After enjoying the whole series”. The managers spoke for the teams. Word to Milan: “We’ve worked all year to get here, we can’t wait to get started – said Stavropoulos -. I hope and believe they will be good finals, they will certainly be balanced. We in Milan are very happy to start these matches in front of our fans who have been close to us throughout the season.” Here is the Virtus front: “ We no longer have the excuse to say that we are not a Euroleague team – underlined Baraldi – and therefore we must have even more reasons to compare ourselves with a great team like Olimpia. We will leave with a lot of enthusiasm and we will leave the burden of starting the Scudetto operations at Olimpia. I invite everyone to participate and watch these matches either directly or via TV because there will be moments of great basketball that will be a source of pride for our country, our institutions and all of Italian sport”.
