Slamadaday: Danilo Gallinari on Roy Hibbert

It could be Gallo’s surprising athletic dunk on Indiana’s top defensive stopper, or maybe it’s the crazy pose at the end. Whatever it is, we can’t stop watching this slam.

  • LOAF Posted: Jan.4 at 11:36 am
    and everyone keeps calling him a bust… i think hes turning out pretty damn well!

  • Dfrance Posted: Jan.4 at 11:48 am
    The pose at the end kills me every time. European players don’t really showboat like that, it was a pleasant surprise.

    Triple threat position?

  • riggs Posted: Jan.4 at 12:12 pm
    its good to see him having fun and having a different facial expression than dumbfounded.

  • Hisham Posted: Jan.4 at 12:16 pm
    lol@riggs. And I agree with LOAF. This guy is starting to look pretty good out there.

    yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

  • AlbertBarr Posted: Jan.4 at 12:31 pm
    He is looking good…and not just a shooter…kid looks like he finally hit the weights and is a beast of an athlete.

    HAHAHA Gallinari doing his best Spiderman impersonation at the end.

    Saw this during the game, and it was a hell of a capper to the run. His pose at the end is totally Spider-man!

  • Sporting-Lisbon-Blazers Posted: Jan.4 at 2:51 pm
    he cant jump much but can be a great player and that dunk was nice…the pose after was the best though…

  • anton Posted: Jan.4 at 3:50 pm
    so much better than “durant goes around bynum” cheers!

  • nate the great Posted: Jan.4 at 3:57 pm
    i like that delonte one. that was sick. i like demar derozen, dunk wasnt that special. but props to danillo. pretty sick dunk. nice finish.

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jan.4 at 5:14 pm
    Gallinari is hilarious. He’s becoming quite good.

  • Loqui Posted: Jan.4 at 5:29 pm
    I love Gallo

  • Larsylad Posted: Jan.4 at 5:51 pm
    His pose is Reign Man all the way. (Only Kemp would eyeball his victim, but Gal wil get to that next season.)

  • Matt Posted: Jan.4 at 9:33 pm
    is he athletic enough to play shooting guard or is he strictly a forward?

  • Sporting-Lisbon-Blazers Posted: Jan.4 at 9:49 pm
    not very athletic but not bad defender…if i was new york hes a keeper.

  • MikeC. Posted: Jan.4 at 9:51 pm
    Gallo is rounding into form. His development was slow last season due to the back injury and recovery from surgery. It looks like he moved some weights around in the offseason and it’s showing in his game. The pose was great. I’m surprised he didn’t get a T for that.

  • fizzrocket Posted: Jan.4 at 10:03 pm
    *slaps floor* DEFENSE!!!!!!!

  • Shem Posted: Jan.4 at 11:03 pm
    Has michael Beasley’s put back made slamdaday yet? Because that was straight up nasty

  • Yesse Posted: Jan.4 at 11:31 pm
    That’s a crazy one.That’s like a LeBron James play except the guy is smaller.

  • Sporting-Lisbon-Blazers Posted: Jan.5 at 12:33 am
    shem talkin truth there. fro beasley too

  • Hambone Posted: Jan.5 at 5:17 am
    just for a second,i thought it was sprewell

  • the rod Posted: Jan.5 at 8:11 am
    grandissimo gallo

  • E Posted: Jan.7 at 7:54 pm
    I thought he looked surprised he actually dunked on someone.

  • Norm C Posted: Jan.8 at 6:42 pm
    Your publication is a joke. Joakim Noah is one of the top young players this year, and what does your publication do? Make a big deal over a BUST named Dalinari. Maybe it’s because he plays for once great New York Knicks. Hilarious!
