Barbatrucco's career began in 1999. Nba Live 99. The rookie coach was given the coach of the Chicago Bulls after Jordan, a team to rubble. Toni Kukoc and Ron Harper were the only anchors of salvation around an impossible group that included people like Rusty LaRue, Randy Brown, Mark Bryant, Cory Carr, Keith Booth, Andrew Lang, Bill Wennington, Benoit Benjamin and a Hungarian, Kornel David.
The Zen Coach, still not understood at once that there was only one thing to do. Select each shot as if it were the last. These players have one chance to score: shooting completely wide open. It was there that he was born in what later became the Nba2K Barba' trademark: shot who's open.
Was another mentality, too new for that theater. The teams, without defensive aid for basketball of the time Live, remained helpless and Barba led Chicago to the ring, winning 4-3 in the finals against the Lakers of Kobe and Shaq, capturing the old Forum in Los Angeles in game seven with an unforgettable hailed of triple that led Kornel David to score 46 points.
The Nba was stunned. Even more so when the Coach disappeared, after a year and a title. Disappeared for ten years. Remembered him the Lakers entourage in the summer of 2008, dawn of defeat in the final against the Celtics. Reminded of this coach is naive, from ideas ever seen, retired after only one year in the Nba. They found him in Tibet, while painted pictures with yak hair brushes. They offer him the Lakers bench, they put up Kobe Bryant in his hands.
The Barba, who had never coached one so like Kobe, gave everything to him. Too much. The first season in the world 2k is closed with a the first round elimination against the Denver Nuggets and, midway through the second, Kobe was injured for two months. It was there that the Zen Coach remembered that system had used with the Chicago Bulls of the Live 99. The "shot who's open".
When Bryant returned, the team, under the new system, became unstoppable. He won two Championships in a row, came into the finals in third but was unable to play it and was lost to Charlotte (the famous Uprising of Machines), then came another back to back. And there, the legend began. After a short spell at Spurs (three Championships, a ring), the Zen Coach returned definitively to the Lakers, serving for twenty-six consecutive championships, winning a total of 16 rings, until the last, that won 4-0 against the Miami Heat, with a streak of 41 victories in his last 46 games, including playoffs.
The Magic Moment are many, but two on all: the Finals against the Cavaliers win 3-2 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland with a shot from 9 meters of Luke Walton, and the unforgettable first season's playoffs in the second World with Nba2K13, with three game seven out of four rounds, including the final against Miami, finished the last seconds.
The Barbatrucco concludes his adventure at Nba2K after 38 seasons and 17 titles out of 18 Finals. In ten years ' time, perhaps, one Manager will return to Tibet. There I will paint pictures with yak hair brushes and hands me a new bench.
