Real Madrid head coach Pablo Laso used a rather interesting example to point out how different basketball is in the world of social media, in comparison with a couple of decades ago.
“I always use the same example: let’s say, 20 years go, when they told you that a team was going to sign an American players, it was almost impossible to find information about him. If you think about it, it’s almost funny, because you were told he was 2.05 meters and when you met him at the airport he was 1.96! Now that is impossible. You have all the connections, the information on the net, and it helps basketball all over the world. Right now, information is there and it is very important for me as a coach and everyone involved in basketball.”
