Well maybe it’s three things but just one that I noticed on the official warriors blog (via truehoop). Marco Belinelli can not dance at all. Or maybe he is shy, I don’t know him personally, but this made him lose some of his poker face. I remember when he was at the draft night in New York and a friend and me watched it LIVE in States.
He was wearing his pink suite with his whole family around him which made my American friend laugh out loud.. Anything pink on guys in the US at least young guys is a No-go I guess.
I also talked to an insider of Italian basketball how Belinelli got such a good shooter or player in general. He told me that the current Lottomatica Roma coach told Belinelli: “Hey if you want to play good I will have to give you some playing time!” I wonder if this also would help him in Golden State since Mr. Nelson is probably not giving him a lot of time to prove himself this year.
But here is the video of Marco Belinelli’s dancing abilities – after watching the video like 3 times I think that Kosta Perovic is actually even funnier.

[...] I thought I knew a lot about Marco but I still happened to learn some more today reading an excellent article on the Gazzetta dello Sport website (Italian language). Various things I learnt : Marco can’t drive (1 thing Marco & I have in common, on top of the jumpshot) so he asked one of his best friends to come over and be his driver. He lives in a big house close to the Berkeley campus in San Francisco. He was nicknamed “Cookies Monster” by his teammates because of his love for American cookies. The only thing is that this love made him take 4 kilos… He’s now supposed to get easy on the cookies. Last but not least, Kobe gave him his number and they’re trading SMS. Yeah Marco’s life could be a dream come true…if only he could dance… [...]
