    It worked perfectly for me, much appreciated! The game was a clunker, but still the most compelling Eurobasket elimination game I've ever watched live at 3 a.m

    Sengun is leagues better than Scola was man. I loved Scola too but its like comparing Aaron Brooks to Damian Lillard.

    Random thought, but I have to like your comment because it's all lower case c namers. I have to back my people.

    The gap isn’t THAT big, but it’s pretty massive. Obviously dd just sees 2 euro’s so they must be the same, no point arguing.

    International Scola > Sengun. Can't really compare their NBA careers since Scola didn't go the NBA until downside of his career. But the guy dominates international tournaments

    Scola started in the nba at 27, i wouldn’t call that anyone’s downside. International play is also mostly against scrubs so it doesn’t matter.

    Can’t really compare their international careers either then. This is Sengun’s 1st major international appearance as the national team’s best player and he is already performing as well as Scola statistically and impact wise if not better with a worse supporting cast at a younger age. Such a domination at a young age is very unusual at the Euros.

    If anything Sengun’s international competition is and will be much harder than Scola’s, as the amount of top level international players in the nba is at an all time high.

    If it makes you feel better, Argentinians basically identify as Europeans.

    Scola beat more star caliber NBA players in a single game than Sengun has in his entire international career by a mile

    Yes, Sengun does not have an international career yet, but so far it projects to be better than Scolas. You said you can’t compare nba careers because scola came to the nba at 27. How was Scola doing when he was 23?

    Yes, everyone definitely remembers Scola and Argentina dominating Eurobasket, lol

    I do remember Scola dominating for Argentina in the 2004 Olympics though. Definitely weak competition there, especially in the gold medal game
