Well this is what Scola looks like these days: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DC5APO-XgAEPvTo.jpg Also, Scola is not Italian. But I'm guessing you guys were kidding.
These Euro players need to toughen up their hands. Calvin was in countless fights back when it was common and the league didn't particularly care (pre-Rudy being punched), and everyone he fought was much bigger than he was (he would whip their butts anyway - Murphy was a badass), but I can't recall him ever breaking his hand.
Broke his thumb ,40 days out of rotation , Messina ( Italy's coach) pissing vinegar ! And that was a friendly game as they call in Fiba !
