Nicolás "Nico" Laprovíttola (born January 31, 1990) is an Argentine-Italian professional basketball player for Baskonia of the Liga ACB and the EuroLeague. He is also a member of the Argentine national basketball team. His mother is politician Margarita Stolbizer.
Laprovíttola's beginnings in basketball first started with Deportivo Morón, and then at Lanús, when he was 17 years old. In 2007, he made his pro debut with Lanús, when the team was playing in the Argentine 2nd Division. They achieved promotion that season to the top Argentine League. Laprovíttola led his team to the Argentine League Final Series in the 2012–13 season, against Regatas Corrientes. But the experience of the opposing team, led by Paolo Quinteros, Federico Kammerichs, and Jerome Meyinsse was crucial during the series, and the team of Corrientes won the national title. Laprovíttola played for six seasons with Club Atlético Lanús.
During his preparation for the 2013 FIBA Americas Championship, Laprovíttola spoke about how excited he was that he was going to be playing with Flamengo, to whom he gave several compliments. He was named MVP of the 2014 edition of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup.
