The individual celebrations themselves — Gallinari's "bellissimo" kiss and the "what do you want?" gesture (appropriated ecstatically by JaVale, natch) — aren't new to the Nuggets. But the way they've spread like wildfire through the Denver bench and prompted sort of a call-and-response chorus where Gallo goes off, then looks over to see his teammates with their hands held high, is pretty amazing.

Karl serves as an inspiration on several levels. He has dealt with his share of health issues over the past several years but continued to persevere and chase a long-sought NBA crown. While the Nuggets entered the season as a dark horse, he has molded them into a relentless team that attacks in waves. “I think it’s great because you know you are being coached by one of the best coaches in the history of the NBA,” Gallinari said. “Every day at practice, there is something great because you can learn something from him and he loves this team and he loves basketball and you can see the fire inside of him because he wants to win.” Boston Globe

After the tough win against the Chicago Bulls, Danilo Gallinari in an interview with Gazzetta.it confirmed that he will be with the Italian National Team at Eurobasket 2013 in Slovenia. Il Gallo had a meeting in USA with Gianni Petrucci, new president of the Italian Federation and Simone Pianigiani, coach of the National Team. "We have talked about National Team. It was great to have both of them here in America. I gave them my availability for the National Team this summer" said Gallinari. Sportando

#SacKings: Danilo Gallinari on addressing the referees about DeMarcus Cousins' trash talk: "When you do trash talking, as long as you don't disrespect, I'm cool with that. But he was disrespecting me, thats why I approached him. I never approached nobody who wants to trash talk to me. I like that, I love that. But that has to be in the respect area. If you go out of the respect area, it doesn't work with me so that's why I wanted to talk to the ref." Gallinari refused to elaborate on what Cousins said, citing his Italian background as a cultural divide in the trash talk. Sulia

Mike (Colorado Springs) Any big trade plans for Denver? Chad Ford (1:27 PM) Keep hearing their name in a lot of scenarios, but it's never clear who they are going to give up. Gallanari and Wilson Chandler are the two names that come up the most, but there's not a big market for either player. ESPN.com

The hard contact from Dunleavy came before Gallinari entered the restricted area, so he flipped up a hook shot over his right shoulder as he came crashing back to the court. The foul was never in doubt but the shot surely was, as it kissed high off the backboard, rolled all the way around the rim, hit off the backboard again, and then finally spun in off the rim. The Nuggets television broadcasters predictably lost their marbles, dubbing Gallinari’s miracle the “shot of the century” and the “shot of the year.” By hitting the basket, Gallinari also pushed the Nuggets to 110 points, triggering a promotion in which fans can purchase four tacos for $1 dollar at Taco Bell on Wednesday. “They loved it for the tacos, I think,” Gallinari said of his shot, during a televised postgame interview. “It was a good shot, an important shot.” SI.com

Asked which of his players he deems worthy for consideration, Karl paused for a second. "That would be really difficult to say," Karl said. "I'd probably say Andre Miller. From the standpoint of efficient minutes, Andre's given us as efficient minutes as anybody. But I think Ty (Lawson) and (Andre Iguodala) and (Danilo Gallinari) all have had moments. And I'm excited, because I think they all are getting stronger and more confident, and their consistency is getting at a higher level. But because of their up-and-down moments, it's going to be difficult for them to get any recognition." Denver Post

Gallo has a left ankle injury and is day-to-day, heading into Wednesday’s season opener at Philadelphia. “I don’t know what exactly happened,” Nuggets coach George Karl said. “I know he took himself out of practice.” Denver Post
