Juve and basketball: A dive into the past

Juventus and basketball, one of the United States' very best sports, is a great combination.

The Bianconeri have enjoyed some fantastic experiences related to basketball, both in Italy and in the United States. We have to go back to 2018 to revisit two of those incredible times.

Let's dive right in!

Once upon a time with the Harlem Globetrotters

In February 2018, the Harlem Globetrotters - a famous US. team beloved around the world for their skills and the show they always put on - made a stop in Italy.

Juventus' men's and women's players received a very special visit at Vinovo: that of Dragon Taylor and Swish Young, two iconic Globetrotters, and they found themselves in the amusing situation of trying to replicate the games of the US professionals. It was a simply unforgettable experience.

Enjoy!

Bianconeri in Brooklyn

In that same year, 2018, there was another big crossover of Juventus and basketball. During a game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Toronto Raptors on December 7 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, a historic 'Juventus Night' was held, a big first for us.

Before Juve, in fact, no Italian soccer team had organised an event of that kind at an NBA game and in an arena like the Barclays Center. It was an unforgettable experience. For the entire duration of the evening, the usually black-and-white Brooklyn arena was truly Juventus-branded, from pre-game and right through the match.

During this fantastic evening, however, we were present in more than just our colours. David Trezeguet, Jay and our trophies were also in Brooklyn for the night.

Below you can relive that night!
