Either Gallinari is really good or the defense in Italy really sucks.

I would let Gallinari play some PG at times during the game. I wouldnt say this guy is a 4 I would say play multiple positions and utilyze all skills Gallinari is a hope--he gives hope. He has moxy size and skills--now will they translate to the NBA--tht is the 100$ question. He has a chance to be really good or Boston Nachbar.--so let the dice roll

Larry Bird? Larry played defense as well as passed well. The kid from what I was told can ball.
Here is the Larry Bird mix I made If Gillinari can play with half the skills the Knicks will be straight. BigC's Knick blogs and Knicks

Posted by BigC: Nice job. Bird and Magic were the stars of their era - two of the best players ever and neither was especially athletic. |

Posted by Ira:Posted by BigC: Thanks. There won't ever be anyone like Bird. I remember Bird playing one game where he dropped 27 points with his left hand. The thing that was funny is the game before that he said he was shoot only with his left. [Edited by - BigC on 07-05-2008 3:06 PM] BigC's Knick blogs and Knicks

Larry Bird??? Seriously, can we just stop? Please?

Judging by Gallo's moves I've seen he watched at lot of MJ videos, saw the hand switch in his youtube mix

Gallo has talent and will be a good player, but nothing like Bird.

Bird was one of the greatest ever. Gallinari is not as good as Bird. But......at 19 years old was Bird as good as Gallinari is now at 19??? Probably not.
I don't think Gallinari will be as good as Bird was. But I think Gallinari has a tremendous amount of potential and a BIG upside. P.S> Thanks for the clips of Bird. Wonderful to watch a master play basketball. [Edited by - markji on 07-05-2008 5:07 PM] The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

I'm as big of a Gallo fan as there is, but to even put him in the same breathe as Larry Bird is just absurd.

Posted by Markji: . But......at 19 years old was Bird as good as Gallinari is now at 19??? Probably not. I hate to show my age but Bird's best year at IU state was his first year. Larry Bird wouldve been a star NBA basketball player at 16-17 never mind a 14-3 42% euroleague player. The numbers he used to put up in college just arent done anymore. As good as Beasley was this year with off the charts PER Bird was way better than him as a freshmen. If Bird played in the Euro League at age 19 going on 20 he would average 25-12-5/6 50+% and even the staunchest Euro League advocate cant disagree with that one. The karma you can look at they are the same size they have pretty much the same legs[maybe gallinaris are slightly livelier they were both pick 6 in the draft they both will play point forward:)] [Edited by - BRIGGS on 07-05-2008 7:16 PM] RIP Crushalot😞
