    Argentine Luis Scola is about to make his debut at the NBA with Houston Rockets; he said good-bye to former team Tau Ceramica, to which they played the last seven seasons.
    18-09 | 16:04 hs. Finally, the day has come. Quite moved by the circumstances, Luis Scola started the press conference with eternal thanks to the people he worked with at Tau Ceramica, when he won all kind of titles and awards.

    The Argentine player, who was recently at Las Vegas qualifying for next Olympic Games at Beijing (last time, Argentina won the gold medal), said he feels "sad for the departure from Victoria, my home for the last seven years".

    He specially thanked Montenegro coach Dusko Ivanovic, who, according to him, was a break point in his career for he taught him "many essential things".

    Tau Ceramica chair of the administrative board Josean Querejeta attended the press conference, said that "Scola will make it at the NBA, but he will be back with us to play one more season".

    And he added. "He was the most important player in Tau's history for the team had the time of its life with him: we won one ABC Liga, three Copas del Rey, two Supercopas de España; in addition, he was chosen Euroliga MVP twice".

    "He will be back to play one more season?" What does that mean? Is he going to go back after his NBA career is over? :confused:

    Maybe, who knows?

    Sabonis did.

    I read the interview in Spanish... the Tau owner said that more like a hope.

    He said: "I am convinced that Scola will succeed in the NBA and after some years, I think he will still have the strenghts to come to Vitoria and play one more season with us".
