He doesn't say much, but with the lockout I figure anything a Rocket says could be newsworthy...

"I won't train like this"

The NBA lockout and the lack of insurance for players in the league are currently the main topics in the basketball National Team. And Luis Scola, a leader in it, made his point of view clear: "I will not train like this." Also, he added: "On the 29th I will join the team, but I will not train".

Argentina is preparing to participate in the Americas Championship in Mar del Plata, and the participation of NBA players in it has been in discussion. "It wouldn't be fair for me to pay, in the National Team we play out of passion. I am an optimist, I think it will get sorted out just like it did in Spain," Luis said regarding the lockout and insurance.

Regarding the osteochondritis he suffers in his left knee, for which he had surgery in April, Luifa explained that "it is getting better," so he would not have any physical limitations to participate in the Americas Championship.

Luis, what worries you more right now, your knee or your insurance?
No, I'm not worried about my knee, the only thing I'm concerned about is insurance. The only thing that can keep me out of the Americas Championship... Unless something extraordinary happens, like some other injury or some other extraordinary thing, the only thing that can keep me out of the Americas Championship is insurance.

And that doesn't depend on you, unfortunately.
No, it doesn't. But there are people working on this, and they make me feel optimistic. I am optimistic, I think this will get solved. I've been assured it will be sorted out and I believe so. I don't think there is a conflict, I don't say this negatively, but I know that my insurance is the only thing that can keep me out of the Championship. My knee won't.

He's right though. The national team should get them insurance if they want them to play. I wouldn't be right for players to insure themselves.
