When this incident happened, Bjelica was out in Belgrade, Serbia, with his kids. The attacker then lunged at him, attempting to cut him with scissors. In the midst of all of this, he sent Bjelica a scary message.
The assailant launched a barrage of obscenities at the 35-year-old. “I will take your family, your children, your wife, and you. He reportedly told the 35-year-old basketball star, “I will take your money,” adding that he “would stab him with scissors.”

The 35-year-old Bjelica is relishing his second year without playing in the NBA. Despite being chosen in 2010, the 6-foot-10 forward did not play professionally until five years later. Over the course of his seven-year tenure, Bjelica was traded across the league. He made trips with the Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings, and Minnesota Timberwolves, among others.
2022 was Bjelica’s most prosperous year to date. He had the opportunity to play for a championship squad as a member of the Golden State Warriors. After winning the championship, the quick-witted forward made the decision to retire from competition.
