NBA. Facundo Campazzo, among those chosen to challenge the rising star of the All-Star Game

In his first NBA experience, Facundo Campazzo has already received the first recognition of the best basketball league in the world. The Cordoba base was chosen to play the rising star of the All-Star Game. Unfortunately, this year the game in which a team of American players traditionally clash with those from the rest of the world, all members of the league’s first and second years, will not be played. Either way, the NBA awarded 20 players. The chosen ones were selected by 20 assistant coaches of the league and for that an individual moment of this season was taken into account.

Due to a time limit issue, considering that everything will be done in one day, the annual Rising Stars game will not be played at the 2021 All-Star Game this Sunday at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. However, the NBA continued the tradition to name the lists of 10 freshmen and sophomores from the United States (US team) and 10 freshmen and sophomores from the rest of the world (world team). The Argentinian was chosen in this team.

On this occasion, the players were selected by the 20 individual moments of the current season that showcase each of the named basketball players. The recognition for Facundo Campazzo was given, first of all, for his impact coming from the substitutes’ bench, and for a very particular action. The game chosen was a magnificent assist that he surprised everyone with and did on February 23 in his team’s victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. In a penetration towards the basket, the Cordoba point guard gave a back pass, and without looking around, to Zeke Nnaji which he then converted from three points. In addition, from the NBA, they mentioned Facu as “A world famous past artist.”

This choice becomes the first major distinction made by the NBA at Campazzo of official character. Another of the accolades the Argentine had was being included in the top 10 games on January 5, in Denver’s 123-116 victory over Minnesota. There, the Cordovan led a face-to-face counterattack against Spaniard Ricky Rubio, which ended in a brace and a foul for the Argentine. The game was chosen in position 8 of the best actions of the day.
