Was Danilo Gallinari really one of the biggest what-ifs in the history of the NBA? Or was the Boston Celtics forward alum being a bit hyperbolic in the retelling of what was, for him, a traumatic and disappointing moment in his career in the league? For fans of the Celtics who were pumped to see the Italian forward on Boston's roster, the injury he sustained in FIBA World Cup play was nothing short of a massive disappointment.
But that is but one fan base of 30, and there are plenty of examples even with the Celtics history that most believe outweigh Gallo's framing, from what might have happened if Larry Bird did not hurt his back and if Len Bias and Reggie Lewis had not left us too soon all the way up to what might have happened had Jayson
Tatum not torn his Achilles tendon or his costar on the wing Jaylen Brown had not been dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers.
The folks behind the "Stunted Growth" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at the recent interview in such a context. Check it out below!
