this is my first post trying to help out. I am sure alot of you know this but if you click on the link http://www.sportsradio610.com/ you can actually play the scola interview hope this helps.
I have a horrible short-term memory like Tom Hanks on that classic SNL sketch if anyone knows what I'm talking about. But some points I do remember: Discussed why he wanted to come to the NBA, 'Be the best player I can be'. How the US and International players deal w/ the NBA and Inter ball - different rules, styles, US players have difficulty adjusting to international ball thus their struggles in past years, international players have difficulty adjusting to the NBA for the same reason Emergence of international players - 80's totally Americans, now foreign players are MVP's of the NBA; if I want Argentinian league to be the best, I don't care where they come from, if you want to be the best you have to put them all in the same place Adjust to playing w/ Adleman? - I've watched video and talked w/ him, it's very similar to what I've been doing for the past 10 yrs, not a big difference, looking forward to it and I should fit in well Playing w/ Tmac & Yao - great players, I hope I can fulfill whatever role they need from me, I believe in working hard and will try to give back what they've given me (the opportunity to play in the NBA I guess); sounds sincere he's going to give his all in fitting in Are you settled in yet? - Not yet, doing visa paperwork, still looking at houses but I found one I like, can't reveal it or I can't negotiate the price! (humorous moment)
does he know what kind of football the texans play? it'd be funny if he thought he was heading to a soccer game.
Were there a lot of Greek flags? On TV, only notice that one flag carried by the same guy all the time.
Hey, I'm with you on that one. Take a look at what I had last said in my thread, which is "NBA Scheduling and the Luis Scola Trade." Just simply click on the link below. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=134070
actually he does once in awhile to post his opinions here and there, if anything, he starts threads when 610 is about to report something or some event, such as the Astros firings 2 weeks ago.
I'm hoping that you are both girls. And if you are both girls I would happily volunteer to be the ball boy!
Yeah so if HF and FB are gonna be roommates I join in and it'll be like Three's Company. R2K you can be Mr. Furley
No big mystery. Scola was nearing the deadline to sign a large extension with Tau Ceramica. Spurs held out too long. It was either take our deal or basically get zilch for him.
Great stuff! Props to the clutchfans. I heard it yesterday and I believe the nickname mentioned was Scoliocis...as if its some kind of disease you get.
