Personal Trainer
Sergio’s game reached another level when he first entered the NBA. Playing for Portland Blazers and especially for the Sacramento Kings was a huge boost to his basketball career and his overall skill development as a player.
Knowing the fact that the European basketball focuses more on team play and running offensive plays, but in the NBA, the game relies more on individual plays so it’s picture perfect when it comes to getting better as an individual player.
Sergio visited Sacramento’s voluntary workout from where he was later added to the team in 2009.
