    wtf?

    He had a career defensive rebounding rate of 21% (per 36 - 9.4 rebounds) that's definitely above average, and I'd even say good for a PF.

    Luis is not just a student of the game, he is a Scola of the game.

    So proud of my boy. 39 years old, can't run, can't jump but still schooling the young guns.

    Wearing a luis scola 4 jersey now and couldn't be more happier for him.

    Loyal to his national team no matter the circumstances. Yes giving his all even at father time.

    A worthy investment Even though he's no longer with the rockets.

    Still my fav Rocket of all time. Only jersey I've ever bought was Scola's.

    Dude has heart and schools 95% of people around the basket with craft and footwork.

    Scolandry! Remember that time someone attempted to shoot Carl Landry and he caught the bullet with his teeth? I miss Luifa and Landry.

    Imagine that if we could have him in 2004 instead of Juwan Howard.

    Everyone always knew his game would age well. I mean he never jumped before. They called him the ice cream man for a reason.

    I do like the haircut.

    This is the same as Harden shaving his beard. I don't know how to feel.

    When Big Yao would post up and then he'd do the over the head backwards pass to a cutting down the lane Luifa, who would scoop it in for 2 with that flowing hair. It was art.
    That 2009 team was going to win it all. They didn't go 0-20 from three that led to a collapse. Big Yao was simply struck down by the basketball gods. Please basketball gods let this be the year of redemption. No special favors just health

    Italian league game. Scola scores 1/3 of his team's points.
