Danilo Gallinari is the face of NBA2K17

Look who is on the cover of the of NBA2K17 in Europe:

That translates to: "I am honored to be the cover athlete for @NBA2K! Play with me #NBA2K17 since September 16.#ThisIsNotAGame"

Confession: I haven't owned a video game console since the N64 back in the 90s but it's possible I can now buy one and write it off as a "work expense."

Also, I've long speculated about the Nuggets grabbing the largest piece of the pie among the European NBA fan market and this could be a tiny indicator that that is happening. Look for Nikola Jokic to be the cover for the game in 2019.
