Gigi Datome’s average day

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

After presenting the average day of Luka Doncic, “La Giornata Tipo” has all the details of how Datome spends his 24 hours of the day.

Expect a lot of beard grooming, Istanbul dishes and Turkish folk songs playing in the background, or in his own guitar.

The Average Day: GIGI DATOME 7:45am Wakes up 8am Begins to comb his beard 10am Finishes combing his beard. His right bicep is John Cena size 11am Breakfast in a Istanbul bar: tomatoes, cucumbers, a cheese plate, grilled sucuk. Gigi's metabolism is still not used to eat all that salty in the morning, having in Italy just a quick espresso. His face changes colour 7 times, covering the whole colour spectrum. Even indigo, a colour nobody knows what it is 11:15am Hiccups begin 12pm Gigi still has the hiccups. To get through it he decides to scare himself: he stares for a second at an Obradovic picture, one where he is super mad. Hiccups gone 1:30pm some people mistake him for Jesus. They ask him to win the second EuroLeague. Gigi replies that he and the prophets Vesely, Sloukas and Melli will do their best. He moves away walking with his feet over the waters of the Bosphorus 2pm Decides to get a haircut. He thinks about last year’s victory, Antic and his gigantic scissors 2:01pm He thinks his hair is good as it is 3:45pm He's late for practice because of Istanbul’s traffic. He has never been late for a practice in his life. Not even in front of a razor blade he would be so nervous 5pm Suddenly the cars open a passage to let a Big SUV go through. On board, Mahmutoglu, who is waving to everybody. People cheer and praise “Melih!". He follows Melih and manages to get to practice on time 6pm A wandering ball unfortunately hits his face 6:01pm A team of speleologists is at work to find the ball in his beard 7pm 3 points challenge between him, Nunnally and Melih 8pm The match ends. The Rim asks to be downgraded to the school gym next door 9:30pm After dinner he picks up the guitar and starts to sing Turkish folk songs really loudly on the terrace 9:40pm The neighbours beg him to move to Ankara 10pm Greets on Skype his parents in Sardinia. A good professional athlete goes to bed early. There is another FinalFour to play, there’s still Obradovic to be satisfied and fans to be dragged to excitement. The love of people for Gigi has always been great wherever it was, Rome, Detroit, Boston, Istanbul. Because Gigi has something macigal both off and on the field. #lagiornatatipo
