After each of his four baskets, the Knicks' long-time public address announcer Mike Walczewski, using a thick Italian accent, said "Daneeelo Gal-lin-ar-ay" and then the Italian songs "Volare" or "That's Amore" were played. When asked about hearing his name, Gallinari said: "I need to talk a little bit with them about that. Because it's not so good, the pronunciation. I will talk about that. As for the music, no, not so good."

0	haha that's funny...it's just like in baseball everytime Pudge Rodriguez stepped to the plate they would play "Latino Heat", there is a lot of ethnic ignorance in sports for sure.
