5 February Press Release
La Nazione
NUMBERS OF A dominion with only one man in command. We’re talking about the ones that cover the Coppa Italia Final Eight’s history. Starting in 200, thirteen editions since the “first”, with eight teams. And name that emerges from these historic wins is pretty much one: Shaun Stonerook. In fact, Montepaschi’s legendary captain ranks first with 25 games. Denis Marconato (22) could tie him if Cantù makes the finals (thus beating Milano). Interestingly, third place goes to his two successors: Captains Marco Carraretto and Tomas Ress (both at 16). BUT SHAUN STONEROOK wasn’t just simply “there” more than the others, he also played more than the others (701). He’s the player that made the most offensive rebounds (112), stolen the most balls (59), and drawn the most fouls (62). He’s also the one that committed the most – basketball is a sport for the tough. Is Shaun Stonerook still leading the way?
Sure, even he wasn’t there last year…
