The Goods Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Danilo Gallinari has told the New York Post that he is ready to become one of the faces of the Knicks. "I'm up for that," Gallinari told The Post. "I think it's an honor for me and Will [Chandler] to have this responsibility, so we will work together to be as [good] as we can. "I know [it's pressure], but it's what I like, because champions come out under pressure. If you are not responding under pressure, you're just a mediocre player, and I don't want to be a mediocre player, I want to be a champion. I want the pressure. Great players need that pressure." Gallinari and Chandler will be the cornerstones of the Knicks next season if David Lee and Nate Robinson are both allowed to leave as free agents. "We're just ready for the future, ready to be a contender in the NBA, ready to win," added Chandler. "If we do better next year, I think [stars like James or Wade] will definitely want to come to New York. We live in a great city, the best city supposedly. If we're winning, I think they'll come." http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60715/20090721/gallinari_is_ready_to_be_face_of_knicks/# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I don't think he can do it but maybe he can prove people wrong. I haven't seen enough of him to make a judgment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
