Tim Reynolds: Luis Scola says he didn’t intend to announce his retirement from international basketball today. But he very, very strongly hinted that tonight was the end of the road.
Ben Anderson: Luis Scola got an extended standing ovation from everyone in the Olympic Arena including Joe Ingles and the Australian National Team as the 2004 gold medalist will likely see his international career come to an end.

Brian Mahoney: Argentina coach Sergio Hernandez on Luis Scola: “I think he didn’t stop one day in the last 25 years.”
Argentina’s captain is about to play in the Olympics for a fifth time, those appearances spanning three different decades. There are athletes at the Tokyo Games who were not even born — one was five years from being born — when Scola won a gold medal in Athens 17 years ago. Yes, he’s been around for a while. And there’s the genesis of that daily wish. “For the love of God, please, please, please — this is what I tell myself every morning in the mirror — please do not look old,” Scola said. “That’s all I want.”
