“NBA star and AC Milan fan Paolo Banchero”
Reported by SempreMilan, June 2023.
Last checked November 6, 2026: the quote still matched the page word for word.
What has Paolo Banchero said about AC Milan?
Nothing, as far as the record goes. Banchero has not been quoted in his own words about AC Milan, and no interview or post from him is attached to the club. The link comes from a third party. In June 2023, the site SempreMilan described him as "NBA star and AC Milan fan Paolo Banchero." That is a description written about him, not a statement from him, so the most that can be said is that AC Milan has been reported as a team he follows. It is a background tie, not a stated fandom.
Does Paolo Banchero's background explain the AC Milan link?
Nothing in his background points to Milan. Paolo Banchero was born on November 12, 2002, in Seattle, Washington, and grew up in the South Seattle neighborhood of Mount Baker. He played at O'Dea in Seattle, spent a season at Duke in 2021 and 2022, and was the first pick of the 2022 draft, going to the Orlando Magic, where he has played since. None of those stops is in Milan.
That leaves the SempreMilan line standing by itself. There is no second outlet backing it, no dated remark from Banchero, and no earlier or later mention that would show when an interest began or whether it continues. Questions about when he became a fan, or whether he grew up one, cannot be answered from what exists.
Is there any dispute or ending to his AC Milan fandom?
No. No source contradicts the SempreMilan description, and nothing suggests the interest ended. The tie is simply thin: one outlet, one mention, in 2023.
Which other athletes are AC Milan fans?
Kobe Bryant was the other athlete listed with AC Milan, and in his case it was in his own words.
What other teams does Paolo Banchero follow?
Banchero has also been reported as a Seattle Seahawks fan, which fits with his Seattle birthplace and upbringing. That is the only other team attached to him.
