Don’t mistake the old guy hobbling on stiff legs made stiffer by a knee injury as an accurate representation of what Danilo Gallinari was as a player. Over 13 seasons, he’s been a dangerous offensive weapon and outstanding shooter.
As age slowed him down, his shooting got even better — three consecutive seasons shooting 40% or better from three-point range, followed by 38.1% at age 33 with the Atlanta Hawks. He’s shot better than 90% from the free throw line six times. He came up just short twice more: by three made free throws (out of 298 attempts) in 2019-20, and just one make (out of 191 attempts) in 2014-15.
