MARCELO CHAIJALE - Redacción Central

Llegó la hora más esperada por Fabricio Oberto. Hoy será oficiacilizado como nuevo jugador de San Antonio Spurs, el campeón de la NBA, donde jugará en las próximas tres temporadas. El campeón de la Liga más poderosa del planeta y el pivote cordobés firmarán esta tarde el contrato y será compañero de Emanuel Ginóbili. Los mejores jugadores de la Selección nacional compatirán equipo y buscarán conformar una nueva dinastía en la NBA, junto a Tim Duncan, Tony Parker y Robert Horry, quien también firmará el contrato, pero de renovación con el conjunto texano.
Oberto está feliz y tranquilo en la bella ciudad de San Antonio, donde vivirá desde octubre venidero, fecha de inicio de la pretemporada de la NBA y atendió a LA MAÑANA en el confortable hotel. Fabricio pasó buena parte de tarde con el entrenador de los Spurs, Gregg Popovich y RC Buford, el general manager y hombre que sigue sus pasos desde 1997. «Hablamos mucho de básquetbol, pero sin profundizar en ningún aspecto. Pasamos un buen rato» contó Oberto de su primer contanto con el mundo NBA, su máximo sueño deportivo.
Hoy Buford lo pasará a buscar para llevarlo a la sede elegida por la franquicia para firmar el contrato y también presentarlo oficialmente ante los medios de San Antonio, que lo esperan como «uno de los pivote más importante de Europa». «Todavía no se donde será la presentación, tenemos que hablar con RC. Estoy tranquilo, aproveché para pasear y conocer algunos lugares de la ciudad, pese al calor», relató Fabri, pasadas las 21 de San Antonio, momento justo para ir a cenar.
Oberto pasó con exito la revisación médica realizada ayer. «Todo okey», dijo.
En el encuentro con Popovich y Buford, Oberto solicitó la camiseta número 7 y hoy espera encontrarse con la indumentaria negra y blanca son el número que siempre usó en Atenas y desde el 2001 con Argentina y con su nombre en la espalda. «Voy a volver a usar el número 7 en un club, desde que me fuí de Atenas que no la utilizo, en Olympiakos, Tau y Pamesa lo hice con el 14. Pedí la siete, con otra no juego», cerró bromeando Oberto con contacto con este medio.
También aprovechó el cordobés de 30 años y 2,08 metros de talla para ver casas donde vivirá con Lorena, su esposa y la pequeña Julia.

Awesome news. I can't wait to see Fabricio in the silver and black. Reports I've read said he is more NBA-ready than Manu when he came into the league.

The links refer to several Oberto ex-teammates and coaches that basically point out how good of a team-focused player Fabricio is, and a great person as well. I think he will fit in just fine in San Antonio. He is also a great defender (who still has to prove himself in the NBA) and a fine rebounder. Let's just hope he can learn the system quick andbe useful for this team.
