Banks, declaration of love in Varese
Interview with the shooting guard from Memphis. “Coming back was fantastic; the atmosphere around me always spurs me on to play better.” And as he awaits the return of his little son, he confesses, “Yes, I’d like to stay.”
This time, the shoes are a greenish blue, with orange soles. But the smile and courtesy are still the same; Adrian Banks, let’s call him “Adrian Banks II”, to differentiate from the Adrian Banks of last year, is possibly the most interesting person on the 2013-2014 Cimberio team. Basketball, leadership, ability to excite the crowd. And then, rap, the social networks and his unconditional love for Drizzy, his little son, who will soon be visiting; well, after all that, maybe the current Banks isn’t so different from the one we saw in the season of the “Unforgettables”, but in substance, the shooting guard from Memphis, 28, seems to have grown both on and off the court.
“Last year,” he admitted, “the leadership was still more distributed among the members of the team. When I arrived this year, I found a fantastic atmosphere among the public, and among the team. This is important for me; sometimes, when a player comes back to his old team, he’s ‘tolerated’, but that’s not my case with Varese. I sense a great atmosphere, I like it and it helps me.”
You also seem to have improved from the point of view of playing, at least on the 3-point shots, where you’re much more accurate now (from 29.2% to 57.9%). Have you done any specific training?
Be honest: when you landed at Malpensa and from there, went immediately to Paris for the first match of the season, what did you think when you saw the Cimberio team at that time?
It might be too soon to talk about it, but, you know, a lot of people are already hoping you’ll stay next year, too.
But the sporting objective this season is still the playoffs, right?
People are expecting a lot from you, but they’re also waiting for your son, Adrien, with open arms.
IMAGE MAN
– In the meantime, the company has been thinking of Banks, to create a T-shirt, in collaboration with “Manymal”, the Varese fashion label, who are currently busy producing a garment that promises to be popular among the fans. Adrian is providing his body, with its many tattoos: the photographic set was prepared a few days ago, and a first promotional video has just been produced. If they’re lions, they’ll roar …
