Marco Belinelli, 39, has retired after a 20-year professional run that spanned the NBA and top European leagues. A 2014 NBA champion with the Spurs, he logged 860 career games, averaging 9.7 points and shooting 37.6% from deep, underscoring a career built on reliable shooting and steadiness as a role player. His legacy also flourished internationally, where he claimed the Lega Basket MVP and shined in EuroBasket events, reminding fantasy followers that production can come from both NBA minutes and international exploits.
Belinelli’s retirement draws a line under a career defined by movement, off-ball discipline, and timely shooting. Bogdan Bogdanovic saluted him with a concise “Grande leggenda!!,” highlighting the cross-border respect he earned. In a 2017 EuroBasket clash Belinelli and Bogdanovic led their teams, a reminder of how European success feeds an NBA pedigree. Jaylen Brown also recalled Belinelli’s constant movement and screens, a testament to the basketball IQ that influenced a generation of players and fantasy-minded observers alike.
