After helping Bologna secure the Serie A title, he immediately decided to retire.He chose to conclude his playing career with a championship as the most fulfilling ending...

Recently, Bologna swept Brescia 3-0 in the Serie A finals, winning their 17th Serie A title, and Bellinelli also achieved his third personal Serie A championship. The two have been working together again since 2020, successfully reaching the pinnacle twice in five years.

Bologna is Bellinelli's home team, where he began his professional career in 2002 and concluded it, achieving a full circle. In 2007, he ventured to the United States and was selected as the 18th overall pick in the first round by the Warriors in the highest basketball league in the world.

From 2007 to 2020, during his 13-year NBA career, Bellinelli played for the Warriors, Hornets, Bulls, Spurs, Kings, Hawks, 76ers, and Spurs again, appearing in 860 regular-season games, averaging 22.7 minutes per game, scoring 9.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.6%. In the playoffs, he averaged 21.1 minutes per game, contributing 8.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%.

The 2013-14 season was undoubtedly the best year of Bellinelli's NBA career, where he averaged 11.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in the regular season, hitting 1.6 three-pointers per game at a 43% shooting rate. In the playoffs, he averaged 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds, with a three-point shooting percentage of 42.1%.During that season, he not only won the All-Star Three-Point Contest but also helped the Spurs win the championship, becoming the first Italian player to win an NBA championship.

Thus, it's no surprise that after hearing the news of Bellinelli's retirement, the Spurs' official Twitter immediately sent him their best wishes. Bellinelli played for the Spurs for a total of four seasons, and his final stop in the NBA was with the Spurs.

A rough estimate shows that Bellinelli's total earnings in his NBA career amount to $49.44 million, with his highest annual salary (in the 2017-18 season) being around $7 million. The largest contract he signed was a 3-year, $19 million deal with the Kings in the summer of 2015. Unfortunately, he missed out on the current prosperous era; otherwise, with his exceptional shooting skills, he could have secured a contract worth at least $10 million per year.
