The Nugg Love Social Media Player of the Month
Social Media Player of the Month
This June and for every month following, Nugg Love will present you with their Social Media Player of the Month.
This is dedicated to a player that has proven he will allow us Nugget fans into his day-to-day life.
This months winner is our 6-10, 225 pound Italian, Danilo Gallinari.
Danilo Gallinari
So far this month, we have seen Danilo at soccer games, taking photos shoots with a rooster, taking goofy pictures, making a motivational speaking appearance, and even killing it with his Italian basketball crew.
Danilo has shown us his life through the platforms of both Twitter and Instagram. This picture of him and the rooster has got to be my personal favorite.
It’s GALLO time is the caption, and all Nuggets fans hope that this year is indeed GALLO time.
Danilo Gallinari has been an impactful player not only off the court, but he has also been a monster on the court. Gallinari averaged 19.5 points per game last season which led the Denver Nuggets, and that 19.5 points per game happens to be the best Gallinari has ever averaged in his career.
Not only was 19.5 points per game his career high, but his usage rate last year of 23.0 was the best of his career also. Gallinari, who has never played an entire season, could have the Nuggets reach the playoffs if both him and Chandler can stay healthy for an entire season.
Gallinari has become a fan favorite among the Nuggets, and we should appreciate him as a player even more for the way he uses social media in allowing the fans a sneak peak into his life.
