Belisimo, Big Cock Gallinari

SimonOnSports points us to this interesting revelation about potential NBA lottery pick Danillo Gallinari. The 19-year-old Italian small forward has impressed some draftniks with his outside shot and his shnoz for the basket, and he's pledged that he'll only play in the NBA if he's drafted by New York or New Jersey ("Nice places. Nice people.") or else he'll go back to Europe.

Also? Per his own personal website, it appears his nickname is "Big Cock." SOS trolled Gallinari's website equipped with a handy Google Italian-to-English translator to decipher what in the name of flaming-rooster-heads his legions of fans are talking about. Apparently, they love the cock:

Yesterday evening I was lucky enough to be ... fantastic game ... and as always great cock!

Even though Gallinari seems ready to take over the NBA, the only question is — is the NBA ready for Big Cock?
