    We all know Diego Maradona is Argentina's greatest athlete of all time. Who do you think right now is the best athlete in Argentina?

    In a scale of 1-10, where 1 is good, and 10 is the extreme "good" (because almost no Argentine player you and I know is bad), the two dudes you mention have a way to get to 10, where La Pulga Messi is... they're at most at a 7 or 8. :eek:

    LOL@the Scola&Martinez votes. Messi is considered one of the best football players ever and in his prime, Scola is washed up and nothing more than a decent starter on a mediocre team. Martinez is a boxer that holds the title and nothing more.

    Messi is already the best Argentina's athlete of all time.
    Maradona and Scola are close 2nd, though.

    Scola lol, only on a Rockets board.

    Maradona, Messi, Vilas(Tennis legend), Moreno, Riquelme, Ginobili, just to name a few. Doubt Scola cracks the top 10.

    Why are you mentioning scrubs like Riquelme next to Scola? Riquelme or Maradona can't even dribble the ball with their hands = Scola is better.

    WHile the answer is Messi, wattching the City/Real game yesterday Di Maria is a fantastic footballer. For me after Messi, the next best footballers from Argentina would be Tevez, Auguero and Di Maria.

    Messi is the clear answer, but

    Scola has done way more than you give him credit for. Ginobili is 1a and Scola is 1b in Argentinian basketball. Scola has been heavily involved in the last decade of their success and is arguably the more dominant international player. I think he has made more intl appearances as well, not to mention he was the captain of the team, at least in the most recent Olympics over ginobili

    As much as I love my boy GINOBILI!, I gotta go with Leo Messi. The boy is BADD. Superbad.

    You have got to be kidding. I cheer for Real but this dude has no vision and his whole game seems to be set around going to ground and drawing fouls. He's an embarrassment. Put in Ozil already.
