    Scola will always be one of my favorite players. He's just a cool guy.

    Very nice of Scola to do that, and man, what a horrible accident for that kid. Hopefully the Rockets set him up with some tickets to see Scola play live.

    What a great story. We already knew Luis was a hell of a guy, but this was pretty special. Thanks, batkins.

    Wow, that's unbelievably unlucky to get hit by a random bullet fired half a mile away!

    The kid has taken it really well.

    Scola is a class act. I hope he retires as a Rocket. That was a horrible accident down here in the RGV. The two kids that were shot were trying out for their junior high basketball team at the time they were shot. The school is close by a hunting lease and the hunters that were on the hunting lease were trespassing at the time.

    scola is a stand-up guy, rockets are classy as usual. hopefully they cane raise enough money to help the family and send this kid to college.
