My Take
Marco Belinelli is the kind of player I admire because his career rewrote what an Italian export could be in the NBA. Drafted 18th in 2007, he became the first Italian to win an NBA championship, taking the title with the 2014 San Antonio Spurs. That same All-Star weekend he won the Three-Point Contest, which fits the reputation perfectly: a pure shooter who could change a game in a single quarter. At 196 cm he had the size to play wing, but it was the stroke that traveled. I see him as a quiet pioneer who opened doors for European guards who followed.
