    Not a bad career he has had. I was glad to have had him on the Spurs roster and wish him the best.

    Damn what a freaking bummer. I was just thinking to myself how well he was playing for the Blazers when I watched a game of theirs. He was a value addition to that team.

    I was always a fan of Fab, sad to see him retire.

    Not gonna lie though i was surprised to see he had 380k twitter followers lol. Even more than Manu.

    It sucks. I guess he would have rather retire this summer playing in Argentina with the NT. He should have few regrets, he has had an amazing career and after all he has done, his health was the priority.

    I just hope his hearth trouble won't bother him in his daily life.

    Damn. This sucks for Oberto. I was just watching him the other day and thinking how strange he looked in a Blazers uniform.

    Wasn't the prettiest Spurs player ever, but was damn sure one of the smartest and toughest.

    Best of luck to Fab!
