    No, thats a former player of the Argentine National Team. Played right before the emergence of the Argentine "gold generation".

    Never made the NBA.

    man that was fast, glad to see Rocket History does not fade.

    I can only imagine DaDakota back in 1995 logging on to Compuserve with his 8800 baud modem to mourn the loss of a heady international player like Nicola.....

    I used to know, I think they might have traded it, totally forgot though.

    Edit: they did it trade it, to Detroit who took Randolph Childress. A great, great player at WF, not so much in the NBA, not big enough.
