    Like Carl said, it's the different haircut with the salt and pepper along the sides. That, and he looks to be in great shape for his age. I wish we had him on our bench. Great locker room presence, fan favorite in Houston, and he can still contribute in the League given the right matchups, in my opinion. Fat chance, right?

    I liked the mane of hair flying everywhere when we had him, though, and those scoop shots were classic. Like Bill said, he was the Ice Cream Man. Typical crazy nickname from Bill, but it fit.

    I always tell kids, Scola is a great guy to watch for fundamental footwork, he shows you don't need to be athletic.

    He's the Vince Carter of international basketball. He'll never retire.

    I miss that long hair.

    One thing I love about the dude is that he never quits, no matter how hopeless the game is. And he always runs the floor. Not the fastest guy, but he runs every time in transition.

    I still remember Calvin calling him Luis the Grease in one broadcast.

    I wonder why the name didn't stick...
