ESPN has reached a multi-year contract extension with NBA analyst Fabricio Oberto. He will continue as one of ESPN’s lead Spanish-language voices for NBA coverage across ESPN Deportes in the U.S. and ESPN in Latin America.

Oberto will continue as a game analyst throughout the regular season, Playoffs and NBA Finals, while also contributing regularly to studio programming, including NBA Esta Noche.

“Fabricio brings credibility, experience and a strong connection with NBA fans across the U.S. and Latin America,” said Rodolfo Martinez, Senior Vice President, International and ESPN Deportes Production. “His perspective as NBA champion and Olympic gold medalist continues to elevate our coverage, and we’re pleased he will remain a key part of our Spanish-language presentation.”

“I am very proud to continue being part of ESPN and such a talented, professional team,” said Oberto. “I look forward to continuing this journey, serving NBA fans and being part of ESPN’s coverage in the seasons ahead.”

Oberto joined ESPN in 2015 following a distinguished professional playing career. In the NBA, he won an NBA championship with the San Antonio Spurs in 2007 and played six seasons with the Spurs, Washington Wizards and Portland Trail Blazers.

A native of Las Varillas, Argentina, Oberto was a key member of Argentina’s “Golden Generation,” helping lead the national team to a gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games and a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games. His international career also included top-level professional experience in Argentina, Spain and Greece. In 2019, he was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame.

Continuing its coverage of the NBA Playoffs, ESPN Deportes will present the NBA Eastern Conference Finals once the matchup is set, followed by exclusive Spanish-language coverage of the NBA Finals.
