Paolo Banchero promised to play for Italy but suddenly flipped at the last minute. Are the Italians right to feel betrayed or are they blowing this out of proportion? - กีฬา
Loved the shoutout to South Sudan at the end. It’s amazing the force for good that basketball can create.
Idk he not a fraud or tratoir 😅😊…what yes he is 😂😂
Yeah... To us Sudanese Basketball is slowly becoming a significant part of our culture..
@@paulpierre4895bro what do you mean
Sudanese are just a bunch of savage bullies, who shouldn't be allowed to compete.
lmao this video made banchero like a total ass.
As an italian, I think the real problem is Banchero's lack of trasparency: there is no problem choosin the Country you were born and raised in over the one your ancestors came from, but still his whole brand revolved around being italian, and he was - apparently - so commited to the italian team that italian bball fans felt teased and used. If he would had been less "loud" about his commitment, there would had been no hate
You are exactly right. Now he has to suffer ... not just from Italians but also his German teammates on the Magic who won the gold medal. I am sure they will remind him of this all season.😂
Paolo also has deep ancestral roots in USA though, via his mother's side......
Yeah but look at him he’s not Italian
@@randygram9310they won’t he’s the star player they’ll be gone if they annoy him to mich
he is just showing how American he is tho
Luol Deng should be in the Basketball Hall Of Fame just for what he did for that country.
Yeah we consider him a legend in our home
Well we know for sure he’ll be in the Ugandan Basketball hall of fame…
Lakers should build a statue of him in crypto arena
❤❤❤
Chicago loves Luol Deng.
Paolo is the international version of KD😭🤣
Wait until KD joins Germany for the olympics. Then KD will be international version of KD

@@kuhieyei3855stick to watching anime. Basketball isn't for you.
Integrity on this banchero mothafucka is ludicrous smh. Double crossing those who got you in the spotlight is ungrateful.
Philippines is thankful for Jordan Clarkson's commitment
His chance to play for USA are slim anyway lmao
@@oats9755He expressed playing for the Philippines since day 1 of his NBA career. Regardless if he woulda made it or not in the US team, he would’ve chosen the Philippines anyway. Literally his whole brand is all about his Filipino roots.
The real reason the Italian national team felt betrayed is not so much he made multiple public and private verbal commitments to them. The reason is he ghosted them before the Olympics and they found out he is playing for team USA from when they saw he was officially on their roster. Paolo completely ghosted them after multiple years of contact to him and his family since he was 16.
They said they would have understood in the interview where they said they felt betrayed if he changed his mind. They felt betrayed because he ghosted them instead of just telling them he changed his mind.
He did inform the italian coach or federation but clearly made up his mind cause of grant hill and what italy wanted was to be given another chance to talk it over especially when he visited italy. I think paolo not being able to play before he was 17 due to covid basically became the loophole. I think he's planning to play for italy then change to US aftwr a few years so he can play for both countries.
@francheromagic also with the lengths he went just to be eligible to play for Italy plus the photo shoots just kinda left a bad taste in their mouth. And rightfully so, to the rest of the world its just another spoiled American who can't be taken for his word.
@@francheromagiche can’t play for Italy ever again
@@nikheck7117 That's what i said but he could have if he played during covid.
Paolo Banchero is black
I love Casey’s content. Setting a fund raiser for Sudanese families is top notch. Hard not to be a fan of your work, Casey.
That South Sudan segment is AMAZING! It deserves its own separate video. Perhaps do a deep background into the history and rise of South Sudanese basketball. Also, a video about NBA Africa's activities......
I second that comment. ^^^^
Yes I agree!!!
I thought it was gonna twist back around to be related to the betrayal guy but it was way more uplifting
As an italian I can say that it doesnt matter that he was raised in the us, ITALIAN scouts found him and he explicitly said he wanted to play for us. He chose fame over loyalty and this makes him a traitor
I’ve worked with south Sudanese refugees and I can confirm their situation is dire. While they were incredibly humble and kind people, I’ve never known a group that was more focused on survival. I didn’t know they made the Olympics. That makes me very happy.
Message to all these upcomming young stars. KEEP YOUR WORD! Period point blank.
I'm Italian and we understand Paolo's choice.
But he made it in the wrong way and that's why we're pissed off.
And now, after the forth place and the rumor of a big USA team for the 2024 Olympics we're like "Oh, guess what? No Paolo in the USA star team for 2024"
He can’t make it any way he want to he’s the one playing
He's 20, he has many years ahead of him 😂
Don't write the kid off, hopefully he gets another call next year :)
he will get another opportunity, he still 20 lmaoo. he will end his career with atleast 3 gold medals and thats an easy work
No, he always knew he won't make the 2024 olympic team so that isn't a loss for him.
Usually, I'd be on his side since it's not the first or second time that a foreign (or multinational) superstar started playing for Team USA after getting naturalized or picking Team USA over their other country (Hakeem, Kyrie, etc.) But after his quotes... I agree with Italy. Paolo treats this like an NBA contract decision where he chooses the best situation for himself rather than a matter of national pride.
How do you know he has pride in Italy
@@ssj-rose4572He ghosted them. Its fairly obvious atp
I have no problems with Paolo Banchero making his decision. I have no idea why Italians are angry at Banchero - he's American born. Be happy for the guy that he has Italian heritage.
@@toddsands6000 Are you seriously that dense?
@@toddsands6000imagine you are a boss of a company and you have the best employee agree to work for you. Then you try to reach out for a while and they ghost you and then they suddenly show up in your biggest rivals company. That would make you annoyed no? Not because they didn't choose you but because they didn't communicate at all about it. That's the problem
Love your channel. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Great insight and enthusiasm!
Luol Deng is a class act 👏🏾 .
South Sudan 🇸🇸 is soon going to be a powerhouse in Basketball.
With the Dinka tribe as the tallest people in the world, that day is coming sooner rather than later.
The trail that Manute Bol blazed is soon going to be a well-beaten path.
The Dinka were the tallest people in the world in the 50s, not now, they have actually shrunk since while the rest of the world got taller.
@@randomuruk7230 I still see 7 foot Dinka individuals around & as such the future of the South Sudan basketball program is still secure.
I hope everything works out, love lou deng for the story and love your vids.
Team USA has definetly sunk to a new low.....How did Steve Kerr honestly think he could beat grown men who really cared about representing their country with a bunch of college aged kids, this is exactly what happens when the best players in The world all feel like representing their country is now beneath them 😪
How's the roster Kerr's fault? LOL you act like they chose these younger guys over KD and Bron. This happened in the early 2000's as well for the 2002 and 2006 team. But the next couple years Team USA got the best squad available until 2019 and again this year 😂 It's like a cycle
He didn't pick the team....
It’s more like the super start don’t care for it. Why risk it.
Most of this generation thinks most things are beneath them.
USA never cared for fiba basketball only Olympics
That South Sudan story deserved its own video!!
respect AM hopps for talking about the Sudan conflict coming from a Sudanese guy myself and beautiful to see him raising awareness. My respect has only doubled for you keep up the content
Haven’t watched it yet but know it’s gonna be great! Keep it up!
I love your coverage of NBA sorry I've never bought any of your sponsor products but here is some cash for your Sudan fund. Good luck my friend, keep up the great work.
Good on you for bringing awareness to a group of people that not much know about, may god bless you
The most ironic part for Pablo is that his German teammates on the Magic will be rubbing their gold medal in his face for the entire year. 😂
Your commented on here so many times you’re an obsessed freak 😹
No they won’t they’re teammates
And Paolo cashing some of the biggest signings dropping some cents to his teammate who won gold for Germany 😂😂😂😂
I didn't really understand the full situation until I watched this, man Paolo don't be making promises like that
I really cannot understand how Paolo is supposed to benefit more by choosing USA over Italy. I mean, first of all, he is obviously not going to be selected for the 2024 Olympics if all the stars come out to play. Imagine him playing for Italy, which is a pretty good team, and out of the sudden he wins a medal in a FIBA tournament. He is instantly a national hero. Jersey sells would be skyrocketing and people in italy would loooove him. No such things can happen while playing for team USA.
Exactly!
Think it was more about the development he got in his position playing for team USA (center). We found out that he’s actually not that bad of a defender and he can actually play off ball and be a tertiary option on a team. Personally, I think this helps the Orlando magic team immensely bc now he has unlocked more of that versatility.
Vs. with Italy. It would’ve been more of the same role he already has on The magic now. I think he made the right choice for the long term. I know ppl may not see it that way tho
When Giannis declared he wouldn't play for the Greek NT this year, the Bucks fans were celebrating, which i find somewhat disgusting and quite disrespectful!
I fully understand how the Italians felt about Banchero, they still put up a crazy fight during the World Cup and i love them...
✊🏀
Yeah I consider international ball just as important as NBA in how I evaluate players. I won't consider a player world class unless they've played for their country.
@@mohamedabdourahman9845 I couldn't agree more! 👍
@@JayTeeGR Thanks playing for your country is one of the highest honors and unless you're injured you should be playing. I won't blame a guy like LeBron for skipping the world Cup cause he's worn the USA jersey but younger guys nah no excuse.
@@mohamedabdourahman9845 National pride goes down the drain when you have a 250+mil contract going for you. Aint no way in hell I am risking an injury when that sort of money is on the line.
@@pyotrbagration2438 Messi and Ronaldo make as much star NBA players and yet they're playing for their country. You aren't a world class player if you have minimal or international basketball resume.
Just made a donation, thank you for having such a big heart.
Austin Reaves' situation was hilarious. He almost played for Germany who ended up winning the FIBA Championship. Imagine if it was Italy who won the gold. It would have been really humiliating for Paolo
Italy winning would never happen
@@ssj-rose4572 yea no shit sherlock, have you seen our roster? 😂 He's talking hypothetically
@@ssj-rose4572they had won the Euro. They're not that bad. The definitely had hopes.
@@ssj-rose4572another casual smh
Italy didn't have to win. Paolo failed to medal with the US. That should be embarrassing enough. Its like leaving your hot wife, for a mistress who turns arounds and gains 50kg.
First off, I'm italian
Here a lot of fans thought that Paolo would resolve a lot of our size Problems.. being taller than our center and much more mobile (and athletic of course). And size and athleticism was the first cause of the disaster game against USA.
I was skeptikal about Paolo coming to Italy, as letting him go would have been a pretty big loss for the team USA movement, he is one of the most talented american player of this new generation... right know the best (of the best) talents in the NBA are not americans. And Paolo is CLEARLY USA born and raised, only visited Italy as tourist last year, and doesn't know a word in the italian language.
He was clearly in anger at USA team that left him out when he made that verbal commitment to Italian team... and he was just a kid... and he still is very young.
I'm not mad at him, I think the italian basket problem it's something bigger than that, and by skipping on us I think he dodged a pretty big bullet. Nevertheless he did it in an immature way and will always be part of his character perception, and not just in Italy, lots of fans around the world didn't like his "move".
I like the guy personality, humble and kind, and this was a bit of a delusion.
Thanks man for talking about my country and what is happening there so the world will know about it all love and thanks brother
The best part is:
He picked USA to win, you guys ended up 4th😂
And he probably won't make it to the olympic team
AD IS GONNA REPLACE HIS POSITION KEKW
He will be playing, just 20 and still got many years ahead of him amd a superstar in the making, rather than a bunch of old players italy has to offer, and by the way nobody wants to play for Italy who has a history of being racist, look at Egonu this time a superstar in volleyball being left out. 😂😂😂😂
If i was in a position to assist I totally would, great on you for using your platform for good!
Banchero is like that dude who dumps his loyal gf for the hotter more popular girl.
And then she dumps him.😂 U.S. are losers in this FIBA.

Man I love your South Sudan segment. It was very touching brother.
This is why I love this channel. I ignored all the FIBA videos on yourube because I didn't really care. Did not see a single video that was about Sudan so I would have never known about loul Deng and what he has done there. I would donate if I could but I will support this channel with views and likes
You are not really into Basketball, huh?😎
@@themountain59 I don't have cable TV or care about FIBA. I watch the nba
The second half of the video is much more interesting. Should have been the headline. Also, glad you have your hair back!
It’s not related but I’ve seen this guy play irl and you can’t figure out how well built and athletic he is dude, I was astonished when I saw him. He remembers me of Blake Griffin type build.
fire vid bro love ur vids
Hey I Love your work and especially your videos based more on storylines and telling stuff beyond the sport aspect itself. I would like to ask if you could do a similar video about Dennis Schröder just like you did about Pat Bev and many more. His path is very interesting and inspirational and especially since he won the WC and is MVP of the tournament, the size of his steps he took show off immensely. Many people and I would very much appreciate it❤️🫶
What an awesome mission Casey!
Great job for Deng, that's AWESOME. & glad that you helping too, that's very cool. Deng was a dawg in his prime tho, you kinda played him on that note lol
Deng had some good seasons .... then got crazy OVERPAID. But that's not his fault.
Yeah, he was one of the beter 2 Way players for a bit, then got older.@@randygram9310
Love the vid ❤
Your fundraiser is lovely. Kudos
Great video.Hope for BB WC video and USA fiasko.
I think really the only problem was him using the idea of commitment to get citizenship- of course people would see that as betrayal if you did all of that just to change without even saying anything
He has Italian heritage bro
@@toyinonagoruwa4183 totally get that. But he legit skipped so much bureaucracy because of the hope he’d play for Italy.
We as italian basketball fans hoped so much to have a young NBA star but he isn't italian by any means and now on every IG post he receives angry italian comments and insults lol, we have some kinda immature and inappropriate behavior at times
Get off the man’s nuts.
Nationalism
Well he should NEVER have said he would play for Italy if there was a chance he would change his mind. Then he needed to be honest about it -- and wasn't. Good luck.
@@randygram9310he was a teenager when he said that stuff 😂 god I swear you people be way too much in your feelings l

The Situation Is Horrible And Help Is needed More than You imagine ..
Sudan Loses Lives Every day
I can't donate today, but I will this week. I have met people from Sudan and they are really nice. I wanna help. ❤
Pray for us 🙏
Sudan and South Sudan are totally different places and people btw. The Arab Muslim Sudanese were genociding the African Christian South Sudanese hence the massive civil war to establish their own sovereign state and try to avoid annihilation. You can help by spreading awareness, Juba needs all the help it can get to try and establish permanent and lasting statehood at this point.
@@halwa9528 they used to be one.
As an Italian I was mad at him because of all he said in the past years. In Italy if you give your word about something you always have to respect it, it’s part of our culture. But then I realized he grew up in the US and he never came down here so his decision it’s a little more understandable
Si ma poteva dirlo prima
So if one stadium made Mario Balotelli cry on the pitch because of the racist chants, does that make all of Italy racist? Surely not. Everybody over here isn't inherently a terrible human being who can't keep their word. Simply boiled down to maybe I want to play ball with a group of guys I've been playing against and already am familiar with. As opposed to flying across the world to play with grown men, I've never met. Kid is 20 years old. Let him make mistakes.
😂
@@Laidback_616 he didn't mean that in a disrespectful way. Giving our word is very important here in Italy (much less than it used to be), it's radicated in our culture. He was saying that, he not being Italian, means that he doesn't understand how culturally bad was that. Not only that but, having committed to play for italy, granted him of getting the citizenship so easily, skipping all the italian burocracy, wich is an hell.
vero anzi verissimo...la parola data è sacra... Paolo non merita alcun rispetto
Paulo Banchero's cousin Chris Banchero is also a pro player in the Philippines. My guess is, that great grandfather had very good genes.
Would be great to see a video on former players starting camps in their home countries and seeing the successes that stem from that. Most notable example is Mbah a Moutes connection with Joel Embiid
The problem is that ITALY would give out a spot to someone who ISNT ITALIAN AT HEART AT ALL and then go *surprised Pikachu face* omg how could he do this to us
I know I may be a bit biased because I'm Italian 😅😅 but comparing our national team to the Hornets doesn't seem fair to me, we are a good team after all...
The problem with Pablo is that he should have been honest with the Italian coach and officials. Now he's a villain in Italy .... and considered a loser by U.S. fans. He looks like he was freeloading for a gold medal ... and got shot down. 😂 Good luck to Italian basketball!
the hornets would smoke your national team like a pack of swishers
The Hornets would absolutely destroy your national team.
Even if you got together two second units from the worst teams in the NBA, that team would still kill Italy's national team.
What I was trying to say is NOT that the Hornets wouldn't absolutely destroy our national team, but that the quality gap between your national team and our is not as gigantic as the gap between the Hornets and the Warriors
@@will-zj5gq well no disrespect on Hornets, they are a fun team to watch... but no... a team who ends 8th at national levels has much more talent than a club team at the bottom of a league. This Italian team has beat a team with Jokic, Micic, Kalinic... you just play 2k and don't even know what level we are talking about lol.. 2k is a videogame not basketball
This might be the last time Paolo plays for Team USA. Whereas if he chose Italy he would be their main player for years.
Amazing Sudan story awesome as always am hoops
There's so much happening in this year's FIBA World Cup alone than any of the previous FIBA World Cups combined.
I love this guy he so good who better him or kendrick Perkins?
Good info 👍👍
The story about the traitor and the loyal. lol love this piece from AM Hoops
You’re an amazing guy, I hope we can raise the 1000 dollar
1:23 not an embassy but a general consulate in San Francisco (sorry for being a nerd... great video)
It happens in all sports these days. Weather it's world cup soccer, basketball or even Olympics - players dnt necessarily have to be loyal to their birth country now. Players may choose the country that let's them have better chance for success. It's sad but fact
You got it Casey- on it. Good job btw
straight to the point! He first was all "I am so proud to be an Italian", got the passport (for himself and his father - turned out that they were pushing to receive it, as well and it was not very easy for the italian president of the italian team to get i), then after he went to NBA, played well, understood that he still had a great chance, he changed his mind... He spit on my country and for that he has zero respect. If from the beginning he would said "yes, I have italian roots but my dream is to play for the US team", nobody would have said a thing....
The thing here also. Reading back on Deng. The media labeled him as this over payed wtf player. But when you dig in.. this dude is changing lives for the good for his country. Moral of the story.... do your research.
You should make a separate video on Sudan
As a Sudanese person I am so happy you brought light to the problem to Sudan
you are a good dude for that fundraiser
Make a separate video about sudan basketball!!!
i love that fiba is getting popular every time .. because of this FIBA world cup now I knew new countries like south sudan, it's not in our history books or world map lessons when i was younger.. i did not know latvia as well.. is that a new country? i need to keep up with this new info.. last time i checked the planets were 9! now theyre only 8?

Great content but I think South Sudan deserves its own video because that’s such a great story
Yeah
yeah. I was rooting hard for them specially against puerto rico, it was soo close.
Casey’s humour is underrated 😂😂
To me the best situation for him would have been to play for Italy cuz he's not good enough to play for team USA. Not to mention, I'm not sure why you didn't say it but they didn't medal this year and I heard it's the second time in a row. He could have also had really good branding opportunities so that he can make more money cuz he might have been the number one option on an Italian team which would have been good for the team and for him to make money. Then he can make in the US because he doesn't have a name and he's not a big talent. Not to mention when he comes up for contract renewal he could have gotten paid a lot more money because of his international fame
I'm not sure if you've ever spent any time in Italy but I can assure you the average man on the street could name the starting 11 of every Serie A team and have absolutely zero fucking clue who Paolo is.
When I was growing up I often asked adults for advice and there were times when adults encouraged me and offered advice without any effort on my part. I have read about elite athletes such as Olympic Decathlon winners who wondered how they ended up being in so many sports when they started out with just one. I can only imagine Paolo Banchero getting a lot of advice over many years and this issue of "playing for Italy" seems to be one where he was getting some help, advice and guidance. Not one adult has ever come up to me and apologized for bad advice they gave me when I was a kid. My life is always my own responsibility. Banchero clearly had a chance to play for a better team and what he did makes sense. He took the best offer. If he has Italian fans then they still have the opportunity to see him play if they want so this seems to me to be a win-win situation for everyone. If he had played for Italy I guarantee American fans would make some noise. I wont mention the last piece of advice an adult gave me a few years ago after I had listened to another adult a few years earlier about a project that failed miserably. I'll just live with my failure and hope nobody stops me on the street to tell me how stupid I was to believe THAT.
her cousin is chris banchero who played in proffessional basketball league in the philippines
Luol Deng just became a legend in my eyes I had no idea
I'm part Italian and I was upset with his decision to play for USA instead of Italy 🇮🇹
From being a possible star player for team Italy, to a bench warmer for team USA.. an example of bad decisions for being young..
He was just bound to do in italy what he does in orlando, in usa he's forced to elevate his defense, minimize turnovers to earn his minutes. It'll benefit him in the ling run.
Opportunities to get closer to too young nba guys and get coaching from guys like kerr and spo
3:02 “In October 2023” 😂
As an Italian, I don't mind him playing for team USA (I mean, who wouldn't), but he should have handled the whole thing way more quietly.
Don't commit to Italy publicly and wrap yourself in the Italian flag after the drafy, just make a choice, and we're good.
That being said, it's good for our Country's basketball movement he didn't play for us. Italy has a huge, systemic issue of ruining young talents in favour of foreign players, and that's what we need to address.
As Italian I was quite surprised when I saw the first video about Paolo and i discovered he really struggle to pronounce his own name... differently I was super surprised by Giancarlo Esposito
The South Sudan part was amazing. Real reporting.
So far 70 donations in 3 hours… over 3k made. Let’s help them out, people ❤

Damn, KD would be proud 🤣
Luol Deng is a legend, and also of Dinka heritage. Dinka are among the tallest, if not THE tallest ethnic groups in the world. Manute Bol was also a Dinka. South Sudan is home to the Dinka tribe.
the more countries like South Sudan get money and facilities to practise, basketball will look so different. just give it 15 years.
A kid shouldn't be expected to make such a serious commitment anyways. acting like a teenager has it all figured out and is sure of everything .
