Veteran forward Luis Scola will play in China next season, according to a tweet from Sportando. The 37-year-old has signed a contract with the Shanxi Brave Dragons in the Chinese Basketball Association.
A 10-year NBA veteran, Scola played 36 games for the Nets last season, averaging 5.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in about 13 minutes per night. He was waived by Brooklyn on February 27th.
An Argentinian star and a veteran of international basketball, Scola was part of the gold-medal winners at the 2004 Summer Olympics. He also played for the Rockets, Suns, Pacers and Raptors.
It’s gonna be Jimmer and Scola on the Chinese All Star Team
Is Marbury in China too?
Yeah he’s become China’s “Michael Jordan” with all due reapect to Michael. They’re building statues for him there, he’s won MVP, multiple championships (three in four years) for the Beijing Ducks, a team that never won before in its entire 50+ years of existence.
Sadly, he’s retiring after the 2017-2018 season but I’m glad he’s become the icon he is there. Marbury himself admitted he was depressed and suicidal when his career was at a lowpoint in the NBA. I’m really happy for him as a a Knick fan.
That’s good for him. Maybe we can see a Chinese all star team of Jimmer-Scola-Marbury
Scola is one ugly mofo.
