Three jersey numbers have been retired: Arthur Kenney's number 18, Mike D'Antoni's number 8 and Dino Meneghin's number 11. They are symbols not only of wins but also of the values promoted by the club, such as sacrifice, loyalty, team spirit, competitiveness.

The club has been owned by the Armani Group since 2008 – he's the title sponsor since 2004 - and it has set the new Italian records of averages attendance at home games. It is also the only Italian team admitted to the EuroLeague, the top European club competition.
