Gabriel Ifeanyi "Iffe" Lundberg (born 4 December 1994) is a Danish professional basketball player for Maccabi Tel Aviv of the Israeli Ligat HaAl and the EuroLeague. He also represents the Denmark national team. Standing at 1.93 m (6 ft 4 in), he can play at both guard positions. According to numerous Danish outlets, Lundberg is Denmark's best basketball player.
Lundberg started his professional basketball career in the Danish Basketligaen playing for Falcon (2013–14), BMS Herlev Wolfpack (2014–15) and Horsens (2015–2017), before moving to Spanish LEB Oro team Manresa. He helped Manresa return to the Liga ACB in his first season.
In July 2019, Lundberg signed with CB Canarias for two years with the option of a third. He joined the team from the competitor Bàsquet Manresa where he had been a cornerstone of the team that won promotion to the Liga ACB.
On 13 July 2020, Lundberg signed with Stelmet Zielona Góra of the Polish League. He averaged 20.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game in the VTB United League during the 2020–21 season.
On February 15, 2021, he left Zielona Gora and signed with CSKA Moscow for the rest of the season. On July 2, 2021, Lundberg signed a three-year (2+1) extension with the Russian club.
On February 27, 2022, upon the outbreak of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, he left the team. The team accused him of violating his contract.
On March 12, 2022, the Phoenix Suns signed Lundberg to a two-way contract for the rest of the 2021–22 season. He subsequently became the first Danish player in history to sign an NBA contract. However, he did not make his NBA debut until April 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to visa issues that stemmed from the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the final game of the regular season, Lundberg recorded season-highs of 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in a loss to the Sacramento Kings.
On July 21, 2022, Lundberg signed a two-year deal with Virtus Bologna of the Italian Lega Basket Serie A (LBA) and the EuroLeague. On 29 September 2022, after having ousted Olimpia Milano in the semifinals, Virtus won its third Supercup, defeating 72–69 Banco di Sardegna Sassari and achieving a back-to-back, following the 2021 trophy. However, despite good premises Virtus ended the EuroLeague season at the 14th place, thus it did not qualify for the playoffs. Moreover, the team was defeated in the Italian Basketball Cup final by Brescia. In June, after having ousted 3–0 both Brindisi and Tortona, Virtus was defeated 4–3 by Olimpia Milan in the national finals, following a series which was widely regarded among the best in the latest years of Italian basketball.
