Danilo Gallinari plays forward for The Denver Nuggets. He’s a solid performer when healthy but not to be considered a marquee player.

Poetry in motion

My wife loves the TV show ‘So you think you can dance.’ Occasionally, she’ll holler…’come here, you have to see this.’ Usually, when I do, it is extraordinary…a reminder that music and movement can uncover the soul.
