A love so deep that I gave you everything, from my mind to my body, from my spirit to my soul
On the night when we all returned to our Tortona da Jesi together, tired and happy, Dear Basketball, written by Kobe Bryant and directed by Glen Keane, won the Oscar for best short film.
It is based on the letter written by the great Lakers champion in November 2015, on the day of his retirement.
Yes, such a deep love….
What we saw in your eyes, what we heard in your voices,
which you passed on to the team until they won the Italian Cup.
We started off asking for commitment, the boys gave us not only their whole heart but also a wonderful trophy.
It is a love so deep that it will continue to grow, that for Derthona, because in the Marche all together we wrote the first chapter of a new dream and took the first steps on a new path.
Yes, we will inevitably be destined not to see the end of the tunnel and to always desire something beautiful and special, like traveling up and down Italy, even in daring conditions like these, to see our lions on a parquet.
A new home awaits us, we are awaited by new challenges, to be prepared with even greater commitment: will it be possible to face them with even greater spirit, body and soul than those thrown onto the pitch in Jesi?
The story of our Derthona tells us yes, it is possible.
In fact, these last years have taught us that if ability brought us to the top, only our character allowed us to stay there. Staying true to our principles.
Derthona is not just a team. It's a way of life: a little light-hearted, a little over the top, certainly unique.
This Cup gives us another unforgettable season, but we only know hungry lions.
See you on Sunday at the Palazzetto.
Sunday 4 March 2018, PalaTriccoli, Jesi, Bertram Derthona – OraSì Ravenna 89-57.
The COPPA ITALIA is in Tortona!
