Erazem Lorbek (born February 21, 1984) is a Slovenian professional basketball player, currently a free agent. He is a 6 ft 10 3⁄4 in (2.10 m) power forward, who also plays the center position. A three-time All-EuroLeague Team member, he won the EuroLeague title with FC Barcelona in 2010. Lorbek was also a regular member of the senior Slovenian national basketball team, and earned an All-EuroBasket Team selection in 2009.
Lorbek began playing basketball with the youth clubs of Union Olimpija, the top basketball club in his hometown, and in the Slovenian league. Lorbek then played with Olimpija's B squad, in the minor leagues of Slovenia, from 1999 to 2002.
Lorbek attended Michigan State University in the U.S., where he played college basketball for Tom Izzo and the Spartans. In the 2002–03 season, as a freshman, he averaged 6.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
After playing college basketball, Lorbek chose to return to Europe, after a year at Michigan State, and signed a deal with Fortitudo Bologna of the Italian league, where he began his professional career, and played from 2003 to 2006 (for sponsorship reasons, the team was known as Skipper Bologna in the 2003–04 season, and Climamio Bologna from 2004–2006).
