Sam Van Rossom says goodbye to La Fonteta but his number 9 will be eternal in Valencia Basket

07/06/2023

Point guard Sam Van Rossom ends his brilliant stage as a Valencia Basket player after ten seasons in which he has become a Taronja Legend. The clearest example is that despite the fact that he has not been able to help the team on the court since the end of November due to a right knee injury, in the last game of the season at home he had a farewell with a thunderous ovation from La Fonteta, his teammates and rivals. This afternoon he said goodbye to the Taronja fans in an act that took place on the main court of La Fonteta and in which he was joined by all his teammates of this season, coaches, coaching staff, friends and fans in the stands and in the Parquet de la Fonteta and for the three titles he won as a Valencia Basket player.

 

Sam's legacy, who leaves as the fourth player with the most games played in the entity's history with 447 games defending the taronja, cannot be measured only in figures or titles. It has a greater significance in the human and the personal, in the tremendous mark it has left on our Club. His memory will be eternal and the number 9 of the Taronja men's team will from now on be associated with the figure of the Belgian point guard.
