Yes! After many long months of waiting, Luigi Datome is getting playing time again! The heir apparent to Brian Scalabrine has appeared in Boston ready to do two things: eat spaghetti and kick ass. And he’s all out of spaghetti.
I was always hyped for this dude, mainly because I have an irrational preference for dudes with long hair. I don’t know if he was called the next Dirk, but his jump-shooting was his selling point. His play in the NBA has thus far been uninspiring and his jumper broken, either because the Pistons or because Detroit.
The Celtics are showing what a few minutes can do for a guy. Datome-sanity is not a thing yet, but it will be in just a few short games. Quote me on this. Gigi is the next Whiteside in terms of crazy half-warranted hype.
