Datome outburst on statements about Ataman: “Make a better translation, no more clickbait”

A great furore has been created in the last few hours regarding his statements Gigi Datome in Italian Meso, in which he blasts the coach of Panathinaikos, Ergin Ataman!

Speaking to “Corriere Dello Sport”the Italian basketball player who retired this summer from active action, said among other things that the new coach of the “greens” he speaks without thinking about the reactions which can then cause, underscoring how people need to find the balance between aiming high and not appearing arrogant.

Datome himself took a position on what was published by the Italian site, who broke out with what was written in the interview, since, as he pointed out characteristically via social media, the translation was wrong aimed at… clickbaits!

“Hi Guys. If you want to talk about my interviews, try to do a better job of translating the words. Here I see a manipulation to create tension.

I don’t like pregame announcements to be boring. I’m not saying that everyone should do like Ataman who always says: ”We will win everything”. There is also a middle solution. I understand that clickbait is important, but credibility counts more.”

…everybody should do like Ataman who every time says: “we gonna win it all”, but there must be some middle ground”.
I understand clickbait is important but credibility it’s worth more!
