Gallinari was 5 years old when his father, Vittorio, installed the basket on the brick driveway outside their home. At the time, it was the only basket within 20 miles. Gallinari found his rhythm with a two-handed push-up shot. At age 6, he won a street-fair shooting contest, beating a bunch of men in their 20s and 30s.
At 11, he was making 55 percent of his 3-point shots.
At 14, he went away to live at a basketball academy in Casalpusterlengo, 17 miles from home.
At 16, he was so easily beating his father in one-on-one games that Vittorio retired for good.
At 18, he was starring for Armani Jeans Milano, his father’s old team.
something like a autobiography...
