Luis Scola has not played in the NBA since leaving the Brooklyn Nets back in 2017, although the veteran star has been linked with a surprise return following an incredible run of form in China.

The 39-year-old was the driving force for Argentina as they beat Serbia and France on the way to the Final, and not even an underwhelming performance in the showpiece game could take away Scola's excellent tournament.

Over eight outings, Scola averaged 17.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game on his way to being named to the team of the competition. The World Cup may turn out to be Scola's last competition for his country, although the veteran forward has been able to use the past two weeks to demonstrate why he is among the best players in Argentina's history.
