Earlier this week, newly signed Raptor Luis Scola was named tournament MVP of the FIBA Americas Championship in Mexico. In the process, Scola become the tournament’s all-time leading scorer, which is a remarkable accomplishment for the 35-year-old Argentinian.
Scola led his powerhouse team to the finals, where they were knocked off by spirited underdogs from Venezuela. For the tournament, he averaged 21.1 points and 10.1 rebounds. He was looked to as Argentina’s top scoring option, but he also provided impressive defence. More than anything, Scola showed that he can still ball, even late in his career.
