Facundo Campazzo was taunted by rappers in the NBA: ‘They would yell, ‘He can’t defend, attack him’”

August 26, 2024 by Hoops Hype

Facundo Campazzo: Imagine, I had to defend Stephen Curry and Trae Young, and when they were scoring a couple of points on me, there were these rappers sitting in the front row. They were saying to him, “Attack him, he can’t defend you! Look, look, he doesn’t know how to defend!” And I could hear them because they were right there in the front row, and I was thinking, “Please don’t attack me, please don’t attack me, please don’t attack me! Or don’t fall so you don’t end up in the top 10 of the week.” And it was the same when I was defending Stephen Curry. Draymond Green would come up to me and say, “No matter how you defend him, he’s going to score 30 points on you, so ask your coach to switch you out.”

More on this storyline

Facundo Campazzo: “I had to reinvent my way of playing. I was used to having the ball all the time in Madrid, calling the plays, being the one in control. But here [in the NBA], it was like, ‘Grab the ball, run to the corner, find an open spot, and shoot.’ It was a huge adjustment, and I had to learn to be effective in that role, which was completely different from what I was used to.” -via YouTube / August 26, 2024
Facundo Campazzo: “Without Luis [Scola], I wouldn’t have fully transformed my professionalism. He taught me how to take care of my body, how to eat, how to sleep, how to recover. He was the one who drilled into me the idea that there’s always something to improve, no matter what. Without him, I wouldn’t have become the player I am today.” -via YouTube / August 26, 2024
Facundo Campazzo: “Social media is what consumes you the most mentally. It’s the constant need to check, to see what people are saying, to feel validated or criticized. It’s draining, and it can affect your performance on the court. I’ve learned to manage it better, but it’s still a challenge because it’s everywhere, all the time.” -via YouTube / August 26, 2024
