Trail Blazers center Fabricio Oberto has announced today that he has retired from the game of basketball due to recurrent palpitations related to a prior cardiac condition. Oberto experienced lightheadedness and dizziness during the first half of Portland’s game at Milwaukee on Nov. 2. “I made this decision to put my health and my family in front of basketball,” said Oberto. “It was a tough decision to make after playing for so many years, but it was the right one.”

He just announced his retirement today due to a heart condition. He was a big part of our championship team in 07' and one my favorite Spurs of all time. He wasn't the most skilled player or the most athletic player out there but he was a very smart and crafty player that got the job done. Farwell Fabricio enjoy retirement.

Sad that he had to retire, but he needs to look after his health.

He was a decent role player, never a game changer but he gave it his all when he was out on the floor. He probably came over to the NBA a bit late but he was good for our 07 title run.

Best of luck and health to him.

I thought he already have heart issues even when he's with us...
