In a recent announcement, Danilo Gallinari, an Italian professional basketball player who has played for a total of 16 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA), declared that he is going to retire.
Gallinari has been playing basketball professionally since 2004. He played in the Italian league for several years before being drafted in the sixth overall pick in 2008. During his time in the NBA, Danilo Gallinari has been traded frequently, having been traded to seven different teams over his career. He started with the New York Knicks but was traded to the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards, and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Gallinari has had a very successful career as a professional athlete and media personality. He has had multiple prominent figures interested in him, and his family has had several notable events happen around them. Kim Kardashian had made her interest known in the man, but he rejected her, instead marrying Eleonora Boi.
Gallinari’s wife also made headlines when she was the victim of a shark attack while pregnant. She made a full recovery, and it did not cause any complications for the pregnancy, but it was a major scare for the family and a horrifying experience overall.
The former professional player has expressed that he was happy with how his career turned out. He has said that he has no issues with moving on from professional basketball and entering his next stage of life, which is expected to include a few business opportunities and settling down with his wife and kids.
Those he played beside, and his fans will miss him on the court, but it is good to hear that the career of Danilo Gallinari comes to a close with a happy ending.
