Luis Scola continues with the way of farewell to professional basketball that began with the elimination of the Argentine National Team at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
The historic captain of the national team and last survivor of the Golden Generation who won gold in Athens 2004 and who submitted twice the mighty Dream Team of the United States, enjoys these days of beautiful tributes.
It happened in the last hours when Andrés Ciro Martínez, leader of Ciro y Los Persas, discovered him as a spectator of a recital he offered in Spain and stopped playing so that all those present cheered the Buenos Aires pivot wing, who greeted with extreme shyness from a kind of stalls.

When they realized that he was there, he went from being a spectator to a figure: the show stopped to cheer him.

And it happened again this Sunday in Italy, where family and friends, including ex-footballers Javier Zanetti and Esteban Cambiasso, paid him a tribute that was spread by Paula De la Fuente, wife of the vice president of Inter Milan, through from a story posted on his Instagram account.
There you can see how the light blue and white confetti fly when Luifa enters the basketball court.
All to the rhythm of "that from the hand of Luis Scola we are all going to turn around" and with everyone present wearing a T-shirt with the already iconic image of the captain in his last match in the National Team.

In the end, Scola ended up putting on the shirt as well and took a painting with the now iconic photo of his goodbye at the Olympics.
