At the age of 37, Danilo Gallinari says goodbye to basketball!
Hello, Rooster ! A few months after Marco Belinelliit’s another prominent Italian in the NBA who hangs up: Danilo Gallinari. At the age of 37, he stopped after his last (successful) part-time stint in Puerto Rico and after the last international campaign (more disappointingly) with Italy (round of 16 at EuroBasket).
« Today, it is with a heart full of gratitude that I announce my retirement from the career I have always dreamed of » specifically writes on social networks. ” It was an amazing adventure, filled with countless memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. »
Among the best Italian players in history, Danilo Gallinari spent sixteen years in the NBA, playing fourteen seasons (but also two empty seasons), for eight different franchises: Knicks, Nuggets, Clippers, Thunder, Hawks, Wizards, Pistons, then Bucks.
His name will remain particularly associated with New York and Denver, particularly involved in the transfer of Carmelo Antonio in 2011, Doc his missed meeting with Boston will remain his biggest regret.

Near All-Star games in Denver, Los Angeles and Oklahoma City, where he averaged close to 20 points, he finished with career averages of 14.9 points and 4.7 rebounds in about 800 regular-season games. A total that could have been higher had it not been for his numerous injuries.
A proven scorer, capable of some serious hot shots with his shot, “Gallo” didn’t often go far in the playoffs, at best the Atlanta Conference Finals in 2021, but he still managed to leave the world of basketball. by winning the championship of Puerto Rico (and the MVP title of the final).
The sixth pick in the 2008 draft (only Andrea Bargnani was better than the Italian), behind Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook or Kevin Love, Danilo Gallinari is out of the NBA since 2024, even if he said don’t close the door until his return last summer.
The wing could now let yourself be tempted by 3×3. With Italy obviously, while we remember that he started his professional career in his country, between 2004 and 2008 (and especially in Milan).
