We have a lot of confidence in his improvements and that\u2019s why we signed him.\u201d For Davide Alviti this is a dream come true. \u201cI\u2019m ecstatic, especially now looking at my name on the back of this jersey. It is incredible. It is a feeling I have had since my first day here.\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ON HIS PERSPECTIVE-<\/strong> \u201cDuring my career I\u2019ve tried to improve and make a step up a little\u00a0bit every year. I\u2019ve never looked too far ahead. I experienced more difficult times than good times. But I feel fortunate. Basketball is passion to us and a obsession for some guys. In life nothing is coming easy. I\u2019m here to keep improving. My family will be on my side as always. When I got the Olimpia call it took two or three days just to realized what was really going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE DATOME COMPARISONS &#8211;<\/strong> \u201cHe\u2019s been a player I looked up to for a long time. I was in Rome when he was having his MVP season and I stayed to watch him workout. I tried to emulate him. When he said that I reminded him of himself that was huge. And then Coach Messina made the same comparison. I\u2019m thankful for it. I take it as a motivation to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_0LePEc-1vg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>PLAYING NEXT TO LEGENDARY PLAYERS-<\/strong> \u201cEvery morning I step in the locker room and all that I see is players who made the EuroLeague history. I\u2019ve always tried to take something from the best and this year I guess that I will take a lot more than in the past. I\u2019m especially fond of playing next to Kyle Hines. I have been at some of his games when he was a rookie in Veroli, a place close to where I\u2019m from, Alatri. And now we are together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>GOALS &#8211;<\/strong> \u201cTeam goals and individual goals are coming together. Team goals are more relevant. For me personally I want to make sure that I give 120 percent of what I got every single day. At the end of the season that awareness will make me satisfy. Nothing less. As a team, we\u2019ll be part of four different competitions. We know it is going to be hard. But we have everything that we need. Here there\u2019s always a teammate ready to support you, a coach ready to give you a tip. It is nice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDavide Alviti had a terrific growth during the last couple of years &#8211;&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":-1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[502],"tags":[],"olimpia_common_tag":[],"class_list":["post-35950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news_generali"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35950"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35950\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":141492,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35950\/revisions\/141492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35950"},{"taxonomy":"olimpia_common_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/olimpia_common_tag?post=35950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
