Bargnani: I have been fortunate to experience many beautiful moments so far in my career but the one that stands out is winning the scudetto with Benetton Treviso. </p> FIBAEurope.com: Have you got any pre-game rituals? Bargnani: I am not superstitious. I don't do anything out of the ordinary. I rest, eat and go to the game. </p> FIBAEurope.com: Who is the best player you have ever come across?

He is the strongest player out there. </p> </div></p> http://www.eurobasket2007.org/en/ci...YCZI6EoANOrUf9le2.season_2007.roundID_5169.pl ayerID_36246.coid_0fbCTJkvJswSpBH,SWENQ1.articleMode_on.html</p> Mmm pasta. </p> </p>
I wonder, if they asked the questions really fast because it is only 24 seconds.</p> I expect huge things out of IL Mago this year. With the starting center roll, he should up his stats and be a big contributor and score early and often.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Arrpy)</div><div class='quotemain'>Im expecting a big season out of Bargnani this year.</div></p> I think he'll start slow and then by mid-season will be crucial to our success. More than anything else I'm hoping that he develops the right aggressive, determined, and passionate attitude. The skills are there, I just want to see the heart.</p> </p>
He's a quick learner. That's the one aspect of his game that impressed me so much last season. I think he'll struggle to adjust to playing the center position at first, like speeds said, but he'll pick it up as the season goes along. Hopefully the change will put him in a position to improve his rebounding, low post game, etc.
