I'm just taking note that there are several Italian players in the NBA now, and some others of Italian descent.
These guys would make a pretty good team:

Andrea Bragnani - starting forward/center, Toronto
Dino Gallinari - starting forward, Denver
Manu Ginobili - guard, from Argentina of Italian descent
Marco Belinelli - starting guard for Chicago
Pablo Prigioni - backup guard for the Knicks from Argentina
Luis Scola - starting forward for Phoenix. Might be Italian descent
Carlos Delfino - sometimes starting forward for Houston. Probably Italian descent.

San Antonio played Chicago last night and Belinelli lead the Bulls with 21 pts and 7 assists, while Ginobili lead the Spurs with 18 pts and 9 assists.

Luis Scola and Carlos Delfino are indeed Italian descent.

I love watching them. Scola has a decent back to the basket game and shows more IQ on the court than those yo yo yo affletes.

Carlos Delfino is handsome and can shoot 3s.

Bargnani has been traded to the Knicks; and Marco Belinelli will sign with San Antonio.
