It seems like his shoulders are sloped and out of alignment. He runs with a funny gait as well. It's going to take a lot of strength training to give him the body control to be able to play 35 minutes on the NBA level. He's active with long arms and a great SET shot but he's a LONg way off physically. His body from his torso all the way up needs a lot of work.

I don't know if you noticed but that's how all 19-20 year old kids who aren't on steroids are. Even LeBron came into the league noticeably skinnier than he is now. You build up strength over time. Go look at Dirk in his rookie year. He looked like Shawn Bradley's brother. In due time he will get there.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I agree he does have an awkward looking build. Its noticable when he stands sideways and doesn't have the ball in his hands.

I'm sure Walsh and D'Antoni are just sitting around with their thumbs up their asses instead of speaking with the training staff on whats best for Gallinari.

well in my opinion, i think they did just that and his body didnt react well to weight training. alot of these trainers live and die with the deadlift and olympic lifts....if you arent used to it you can seriously **** up your back.

Typical long south European.
In North Europe and Russia this type of kids dropped dead young before having kids.

Any of you guys see Phil Jackson when he was on the Knicks? Amazing that he could be such a good player with the body he had.





Sorry, but this is one of the dumbest and most ignorance based threads I have seen on this site. Why do I keep thinking about German "doctor's" descriptions of Jews during Nazi Germany and Southern portrayals of African American inferiority during the slavery period?


Gallinari is about 6 months removed from being 19. Everyone does not mature at the same speed. He is not Wilson Chandler. You can see that he is still a kid in many ways. I am a HS coach and I have seen some amazing physical transformations in the kids I coach over a 4 year span as they have matured and trained. Gallinari still has some of the looseness of a young kid People might also remember that doctors are predicting a height of 6'11" for the guy- which means that he is still not done growing.


I agree with EnySpree in that I think the Knicks put him on a strength training program that was not designed for what his body was (is) able to tolerate at this time. I will also bet that Gallinari willingly trained hard because he wanted to show that the "soft Euro" concept did not apply to him. After doing research and talking to a former athlete of mine who has a bulging disc issue, I am pretty certain that his injury was most likely related to the lifting the Knicks had him doing before the summer league.

Why not wait a few years to see how he fills out and matures before making a big deal about how he looks.


And Briggs, any comments about Andrew Bynum's propensity for knee injuries. I know you liked the guy. Perhaps you can do an analysis of his body and posture and how this relates to his "weak" knees? Just wondering.

I couldn't agree with you more. You can see that his body is twisted and crooked. His hips are way out of whack, which then causes his back, neck, and shoulders to be out of line. A good chiropractor is needed but most adjust the hips wrong and make it worse. I know a good chiropractor who deals with this very successfully. I will try to ask him. Unfortunately, he is in the mid-west.

I would love to see a picture of Danilo standing when he played in Italy and compare it to the Knicks photo. If he stood straight in Italy, then it WAS the Knicks training routine that threw his back out.

I don't think Briggs was attacking Gallinari in anyway I think he was pointing out something obvious. #1 he really needs to hit the gym and will get stronger with time. #2 the guy has horrible posture
I just hope that people will like me
