Longtime NBA player Danilo Gallinari retires from basketball

  • On Tuesday, Danilo Gallinari announced his retirement on Instagram, capping a 16-season NBA career and leading Vaqueros de Bayamon to the Puerto Rico BSN title as Finals MVP.
  • Gallinari said `I needed basketball` and had relocated full time to South Florida with wife Eleonora Boi and their two young children, while Carlos Arroyo offered Puerto Rico as a stable, close-to-home option.
