Great FC Barcelona historic number 14 and captain of the 2003 team joins the show! The first time we have a Euroleague player as a guest. So many cool stories about his more than 10 years playing in the Euroleague, and international tournaments.
We discussed the 2003 Euroleague champion squad from which he was the captain. The whole story, the pressure, the achievements, and unheard stuff from that incredible team.
His role as a veteran in Rome, playing the Euroleague, and being a mentor for young players such as Brandon Jennings. He also explained how veterans like Marcelo Nicola or Kike Andreu made it easier for him to transition from US college to a pro-level when Rodrigo was a rookie.
He told us the story of how he almost ended up playing for Real Madrid and Zeljko Obradovic when he was just 16. Luckily for us, it didn't go that way...
We have some fun trash-talking stories as well. From not understanding what other American college players were telling him, to hearing the Kevin Garnett and Andrés Nocioni talking non-stop on the court.
The TOP5 players he played for, in which team he would fit better playing today, the best arena he ever played for, best coaches... and much more!
Rodrigo should definitely have his number 14 hanging on the Palau Blaugrana's roof, I really hope that one day, he will!
Devotion, you gotta feel it!
