Oberto sonríe porque llegó el momento de oficializar su vínculo con los Spurs.

EL DATO
7
El número de la camiseta que pedirá Oberto en los Spurs. Es el número que utiliza en la Selección desde 2001, pero en clubes no la usa desde que dejó Atenas, ya que en Europa se calzó la 14.

Oberto viajó para firmar con los Spurs

El pivote será compañero de Manu Ginóbili en el campeón. Hoy tiene previsto llegar a San Antonio para someterse primero a la revisación médica, antes de firmar el contrato. Estará toda la semana en los Estados Unidos.

Fabricio Oberto viajó a los Estados Unidos para cumplir su sueño. El cordobés firmará el contrato que lo ligará por las próximas tres temporadas con San Antonio Spurs, el campeón de la NBA, en el cual será compañero de Emanuel Ginóbili, tras los éxitos obtenidos en la Selección. Será el primer cordobés que jugará en la Liga más poderosa del planeta. Primero debe superar la revisación médica.

En la mañana de ayer, su agente en Estados Unidos, Herb Rudoy, telefoneó a Oberto para informarle que debía viajar a San Antonio y cerrar su incorporación al conjunto texano, ganador de tres Ligas en los últimos siete años. El pivote de 30 años y 2,08 metros de talla, considerado uno de los mejores en su puesto en el básquetbol europeo, se entrevistará con el general manager de los Spurs, RC Buford y probablemente con el entrenador Gregg Popovich, antes de ser presentado a la prensa local. Oberto tiene previsto presentarse a mediados de setiembre en su nuevo equipo para iniciar la preparación, aunque la pretemporada oficial en la NBA comenzará el 2 de octubre, que incluye partidos organizado por la Liga. En los primeros días de noviembre comenzará la nueva temporada, con los Spurs estrenando su título.
Desde el pasado mes de junio, el jugador está realizando tareas físicas con el preparador y su amigo Javier Guiguet. Oberto no abandonó la rutina de entrenamiento, hasta ayer, que viajó a Texas.

Desde el pasado 14 del corriente, el jugador de Las Varillas y los Spurs tenían acordado de palabra su incorporación, pero debieron esperar para rubricarlo hasta que la Liga oficializara el nuevo convenio colectivo, convenido con el Sindicato de los Jugadores. El primer paso dado por Oberto para llegar a la NBA fue desvincularse de Pamesa Valencia y luego su agente empezó las negociaciones con los distintos equipos; el campeón de España, Real Madrid, Unicaja Málaga, Barcelona y Benetton Treviso de Italia, los más poderosos de Europa. Y en la NBA se contactó con los Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies y Houston Rockets. Pero todo se inclinó hacia San Antonio y el acuerdo por tres años llegó rápido.

Oberto smiles because the moment arrived for making official its bond with the Spurs.

THE DATA

7 - The number of the t-shirt that will request Oberto in the Spurs. It is the number that uses in the Selection from 2001, but in clubs it does not use it since it left Athens, since in Europe it wore the 14.

Oberto traveled to sign with the Spurs

The pivot will be companion of Manu Ginóbili in the champion. Today the medical revisación has predicted to arrive at San Antonio to be put under first a, before signing the contract. It will be all the week in the United States.

Fabricio Oberto traveled to the United States to fulfill its dream. The Cordovan will sign the contract that will bind it by next the three seasons with San Antonio Spurs, the champion of the NBA, in which he will be companion of Emanuel Ginóbili, after the successes achieved in the Selection. He will be the first Cordovan who will play in most powerful Liga of the planet. First he must surpass the medical revisación.

In the morning of yesterday, his agent in the United States, Herb Rudoy, telephoned to Oberto to in the last inform that he had to travel to San Antonio and to close his incorporation to the texano set, winning of three Ligas seven years to him. The pivot of 30 years and 2.08 meters of stature, considered one of the best ones in its position in básquetbol European, will be entrevistará with the general to manager of the Spurs, RC Buford and probably with trainer Gregg Popovich, before being presented/displayed to the local press. Oberto has predicted to appear in the middle of September in its new equipment to initiate the preparation, although the official preseason in the NBA will begin the 2 of October, that includes parties organized by Liga. In the first days of November the new season will begin, with the Spurs releasing its title.

From the past month of June, the player is making physical tasks with the preinn and its friend Javier Guiguet. Oberto did not leave the training routine, until yesterday, that traveled to Texas.

From the past 14 of the current, the player of the Rods and the Spurs had decided word their incorporation, but they had to hope to seal it until Liga made official the new collective agreement, agreed with the Union of the Players. The first step taken by Oberto to arrive at the NBA was to break contact itself with Pamesa Valencia and soon his agent began the negotiations with the different equipment; the champion of Spain, Real Madrid, Unicaja Malaga, Barcelona and Benetton Treviso of Italy, most powerful of Europe. And in the NBA he contacted himself with the Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets. But everything inclined towards San Antonio and the agreement by three years arrived fast.

The most recent was a broken hand inflicted by a chop from Stephon Marbury in the closing minutes of the Olympics game victory over the US. He was out a couple of months.

He's had an injury with a knee but I don't remember the specifics. Someone could probably pull that info up on him.

I think number 6 is safe, timvp. Don Harris stands guard over it, anyway. :smokin

He's already said he wants 7...that is, unless J.R. Reid objects.

Oberto seems to be a very nice guy.
I remember him from the olympics doing "El pescadito" (the little fish) or sth like that, to Manu. That's a joke: When a teammate is doing some serious statements to the press, another one put his finger on his mouth and pull.

I tell it now: cheeks are gonna go crazy on Oberto.

If Oberto can come in and win the starting job, that's the dream scenario for the Spurs.

Being that Nazr is in a contract year (coughManucough) does that mean that even if Oberto doesn't win the starting job he still wins the starting job?
