Bologna –<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Among the endless sliding doors sometimes it happens to meet again: so it happened between Virtus and Achille Polonara, once more and since it falls in the best conditions, with the winds in favor of a common will, the marriage is even happier. Together with Pajola he will go to complete the Ancona ranks of the group, mature and experienced enough to hold the tiller in all competitions with a sure hand, within the pitfalls of a season with strong imbalances of forces on the court between Italy and Europe. Vitoria, the double Istanbul and Kaunas the main continental stages that have seen the career of this 203-centimeter wing-big, class of ’91, vibrate, who of seasons in the Euroleague already has 4 behind him, plus 6 in other European competitions and 72 Azzurri jerseys. A long journey that began at Stamura Ancona, just like Pajola himself, and that at 15 years of age led him to his first transfer, to Teramo, where he marked his debut in the top league. Among the most appreciated fellow travelers special mention for Toko Shengelia, described as the player who had most impressed him in his Baskonia days. If his music playlist can never be without Travis Scott, whose song “Butterfly Effect” he especially loves, on his tank top he particularly likes the number 33, chosen to pay homage to the eternal Larry Bird and Scottie Pippen. Nicknamed “PolonAir,” his globetrotting career has not affected his strong family ties with mom Daniela and dad Domenico, whose diminutives ‘Dani’ (Daniela) and ‘Novi,’ (Novello, the nickname by which his father has always been called) are tattooed on his wrists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
