Fabricio Raúl Jesús Oberto (Latin American Spanish: [faˈβɾisjo oˈβeɾto]; born March 21, 1975) is an Argentine-Italian[1][2] color analyst and former professional basketball player.

[5] During the first year of his NBA stint, Oberto was no longer the key player he had been in Europe, playing less than nine minutes per game on average.

In his second NBA season, Oberto became more of a factor in the Spurs rotation, starting in some games and getting his first double-double on November 8, 2006, when he scored 22 points and pulled down 10 rebounds.

[11] After a single season in which he got limited playing time as the team struggled through the Gilbert Arenas gun incident and ultimately began to rebuild, he became a free agent once more in the summer of 2010.

After his solid play during the World Championship in Turkey, he received multiple offers from European teams, most notably Efes Pilsen[12] and Real Madrid.

[13][14][15][16] However, on November 4, 2010, after playing five games for Portland, he began experiencing palpitations related to a previous heart condition and decided to retire in order to preserve his health.

Oberto was hired for the remainder of the season as a replacement for center Julián Aprea, who had been separated from the team by coach Alejandro Lotterio and then dismissed at the end of 2012.

[5] He also enjoys playing the guitar and his favorite bands include Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, U2 and Metallica.
