Gallery: Roma stars take to the court at new Celtics training facility


With a rare day off on their American tour, a delegation of Roma players and staff visited the Boston Celtics’ practice facilities on Saturday morning to show off their basketball skills.

While many of the players proved they could more than hold their own on the court, the two surprise stars of the show turned out to be defender Kostas Manolas and club president Jim Pallotta, who went head-to-head in a shooting contest.

After the fun and games, Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco and captain Daniele De Rossi swapped jerseys with Celtics coach Brad Stevens and players Aaron Baynes and Daniel Theis.
