Facundo Campazzo Rumors

Facundo Campazzo: "There are a lot of guys who grab their phones even while the coach is talking. The talk starts, and the American player is sitting there on his phone. Ten, twenty seconds go by... and only then does he put it down.

Facundo Campazzo: "I’ve seen teammates wearing headphones while the coach was talking. During the team talk! Maybe they were listening to music. It made me uncomfortable, especially because the guy was sitting right next to me. That only happens in the NBA. In Europe, they’d kick you the f* out."**

Several players will be heading to Zagreb, including an extensive representation from Real Madrid, the last European stop for Drazen before shining in the NBA. “Alberto Herreros and Alfonso Reyes as well as three players of the current team. Mario Hezonja will play for Croatia, and Walter Tavares and Dzanan Musa will play for Team Drazen,” Petrovic referred to Los Blancos, “Facundo Campazzo was supposed to be there, but his wife is in an advanced stage of pregnancy and he had to miss the game.”

The buyout clause was quite large -- and he let me pay it over several years,” continued Campazzo, who considers his time in the NBA to be over. "I think this is a closed stage for me. I would say yes. My contract with Madrid ends when I am 37. I feel at home in Madrid."

Facundo Campazzo: Imagine, I had to defend Stephen Curry and Trae Young, and when they were scoring a couple of points on me, there were these rappers sitting in the front row. They were saying to him, "Attack him, he can't defend you! Look, look, he doesn't know how to defend!" And I could hear them because they were right there in the front row, and I was thinking, "Please don't attack me, please don't attack me, please don't attack me! Or don't fall so you don't end up in the top 10 of the week." And it was the same when I was defending Stephen Curry. Draymond Green would come up to me and say, "No matter how you defend him, he's going to score 30 points on you, so ask your coach to switch you out."

Facundo Campazzo: "I had to reinvent my way of playing. I was used to having the ball all the time in Madrid, calling the plays, being the one in control. But here [in the NBA], it was like, ‘Grab the ball, run to the corner, find an open spot, and shoot.’ It was a huge adjustment, and I had to learn to be effective in that role, which was completely different from what I was used to."

Facundo Campazzo: "Without Luis [Scola], I wouldn’t have fully transformed my professionalism. He taught me how to take care of my body, how to eat, how to sleep, how to recover. He was the one who drilled into me the idea that there’s always something to improve, no matter what. Without him, I wouldn’t have become the player I am today."

Facundo Campazzo: "Social media is what consumes you the most mentally. It’s the constant need to check, to see what people are saying, to feel validated or criticized. It’s draining, and it can affect your performance on the court. I’ve learned to manage it better, but it’s still a challenge because it’s everywhere, all the time."

Facundo Campazzo, 33, also remembered the trash talking exchange between him and Draymond Green during a game against the Golden State Warriors. "He told me, 'No matter how you defend him, [Stephen] Curry is going to score 30 points. So, ask to be subbed out and have someone else defend him."

During the more than 60-minute conversation, he 'normalizes' his "magic potion," humanizes Real Madrid ("when they are on the court it is very difficult to beat them, but without Campazzo or Tavares, they are a normal team"), contextualizes his relationship with Juancho ("he has had problems this season, but I believe in him"), and leaves the door open to the NBA: "It used to be my dream, now it's not, but if they want a star coach from Europe, here I am." If the opportunity arises, he is confident that his style fits: "Why would I be afraid to coach NBA stars?"

Real Madrid and Facundo Campazzo have reached an agreement, ensuring the player’s attachment to the club for the next four seasons, up until June 30, 2027. Eurohoops’ previous report on a 9,000,000 gross three-year deal aligns with the reports from Spain, stating that Campazzo’s contract is worth 12,000,000 gross for the entire four years. It’s also worth mentioning Argentinian player still has a certain part of his NBA buyout to pay to Real Madrid. He will have the opportunity to settle the remaining amount over the course of the next four years.

Campazzo, 32, walked through his entire career, including his stint in the NBA, split between the Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks. Focusing on playing alongside the Joker, he shared expert knowledge on the additional challenges of a point guard teaming up with a skilled playmaker the likes of Jokic. “You got to be ready. If you are in the corner and you think he is not going to pass you the ball, you are wrong. You are going to miss the shot because you are not going to be ready to shoot it,” he mentioned, “You have to be ready every time you play with him because he sees everything.”
