“It will take all of us. And it will not be easy. But we will prevail.” These are the words of OKC Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari in a heartfelt piece he recently penned for The Players Tribune.
They are words of empowerment, strength and hope that despite all the challenges the world is facing right now, we will overcome it.
Gallinari’s letter gives insight into how COVID-19 has impacted his homeland of Italy — one of the worst-hit countries in the world.
It also looks into the night of March 11 when the first case of the virus in the NBA was announced in OKC’s game against the Utah Jazz, leading to the suspension of the season.
