I started writing a post about Scola and Delfino, context and superstardom, but I scrapped it when I realized that it sounded more like FIBA tourism than it did an actual glorification of two players I consider pretty special. So, instead, I give you some of my favorite lines from the call of today’s Brazil/Argentina match, a true classic.
“How can they leave Louis Scola FREE!?”
“This thing is heating up, BIG STYLE!!”
“EL CLASSICO!!”
“This is why the superstars come to play in the FIBA World Championships, and they don’t come any bigger than Louis Scola!”
Said in the Voice of Bear Grylls. “That’s why basketball is described as a game of chess, with chess pieces that have minds of their own.”
“That’s right, do the cross.” (In reference to a Brazilian fan crossing herself during the critical final moments of the game during which Scola attained enlightenment.)
