It was the last battle for Luis Scola with the light blue and white jersey.
Symbol of the Golden Generation, the Argentine power forward said goodbye after the bulky defeat against Australia in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. And recognition for the legend was not long in coming;
of rivals and teammates in the field of play itself, but also of other referents of national basketball.
A certain Manu Ginobili could not contain his excitement for his friend on social networks.
"
I'm still a bit touched. What a piece of professional
! What work ethic, commitment ... How easy it is to score points! Unrepeatable for so many things. Thanks again Luifa," said the Argentine star from his Twitter account.
"How much emotion in that last applause !! Thank you Scola for teaching us so much in these years and for always leading by example. A great partner. I applaud standing up," he added.
Ginobili's emotional tribute to his friend Scola.
Ginobili was followed by other referents of the Golden Generation.
"Thank you Luis," wrote Andrés Chapu Nocioni, who retweeted Manu's message, perhaps three of the greatest basketball players who gave these lands of passion and crisis.
Thanks!
Luis 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Alejandro Montecchia, another Olympic champion in Athens 2004, agreed, who did not skimp on applause emojis when talking about the great captain.
"Thank you very much, baby,"
he dedicated with an euphoric tone.
