Despite being 31 years of age, he actually started 12 games in the playoffs of the franchise's run for the 4th ring. Imagine the possibilities if all 31-year old Argies were able to start in the playoffs and what might have been

agreed, and it was Oberto a couple of years ago.

It's a real shame when fragile players miss the entire playoffs at age 31. Not Fab! :lobt2:

[ElNono]

Beast!!! :worthy: Oberto :worthy:

I don't think he ever got his due as a silver n black, tbh...

Real shame his career was cut short with a heart condition. I would take him over Ayres/Baynes in a heartbeat (see what I did there?)

Oberto was a bum tbh. A Charmin version of Shitter (like that's even possible).

There is a reason Pop can usually get guys to produce. And it's pretty obvious why Pop prefers smart players who are over themselves.

Oberto played really well in the 2007 WCF against Boozer and Okur, 10.2 points 7.8 rebounds, and did a good job on the defensive end in the Finals. But the next season his heart condition didn't allow him to get rhythm and feel comfortable on the court.

He had a crucial basket to close out the Lebrons in Game 4 of the Finals... I still remember it like it was yesterday :cry

Yeah that was the 3 minute possession.

The 2007 WCF was a joke. Oberto was lucky he had a prime (somewhat) Tim Duncan by his side. Odom & Gasol took a wet shit on him in 08.

[TheGreatYacht]

Too bad he had to retire smh. Did they make him a statue that looks nothing like him as well?

That was like the Lakers ringing in 2009. Horrible Championship tbh.

I'll be surprised if they didn't steal the ball from Manu's statue yet...

Yeah, Oberto was the shit. Remember that signature screen/through the legs bounce pass he used to do? Plus he had a gold grill.

Id be more surprised if the statue didn't throw it into the 3rd row of AA Arena

They should re-do it dunking all over Bosh... probably a good idea they didn't include the rings in his hand...

[Sean Cagney]

He was alright, fit the team well for a short time. I liked him alot better than Bonner etc. that is for sure. I remember a game against Phoenix when he was a rookie I believe and he went 11-11 or some shit during the regular season? That might have been 08 but I believe he was 11-11 one game and Charles propped him after the game and said that guy is a player.

So how much pussy did they get between the two of them? Not together of course.

GOAT Argie

Oberto was the only argentine spur player to change his game for the best of the team. Wish other argentine spurs would do this tbh

For single seasons; played in the NBA/BAA; in the regular season; from 1946-47 to 2014-15; from age 31 to 31; born in Argentina; sorted by descending Win Shares.

So out of all the people Pop would want to talk to it would be Christopher Hitchens.

That is interesting. Good question by Fabbs as I got a surprise.
