Thanasis Antetokounmpo in Milan with the NBA players association to meet the boys of the Castel Volturno team, made up only of children of immigrants, who reminded him of his story: “It was like talking to the young myself, basketball changed me life. I explained to the boys how ”
The image is even less strong than the substance. The image is an NBA player who, with the ring on his finger of the title won last year, immerses himself in the embrace of curiosity and dreamy eyes of a group of boys with the ball in hand to give substance to that dream and make it clear that it can become reality if they have the strength to pursue it. The boys are the players of Tam Tam Basketball, the Castel Volturno youth team, a symbol of inclusion par excellence, made up only of boys born in Italy but without citizenship because they are children of immigrants.

One of them a few years earlier and a few hundred kilometers further on: Thanasis Antetokounmpo.
