Oberto retires following heart conditions

[kibaxx7]

As a fellow Argentinian, I was really happy when he got back with the Blazers... but as he said, family's first... he already had surgery to repair the anormalitys in his heart when he was playing with the Wizards. Elliot Williams also gone for surgery. I guess Portland will go after a free agent center?

Damn. With this and Elliot Williams we lost too benchwarmers! Its too bad His Dampness was picked up. Hopefully Ha can return!

A shame for him that he's got to call it quits like this but absolutely the right call. Best of luck to him, hopefully this will avoid further complications and he'll be able to live a long and healthy life.

Dunno why, but I always liked this guy. best of luck to him...
