Is Luis Scola of Argentina now top 5 greatest in the game today?

Question

Not sure his exact stats but he scored 28 points against the greatest team in the olympics, is that how we compare who is the best based on their olympic performance.

Answer 1

No. Your rank as a player isn't measured on one game.

Answer 2

No, the reason he scored so many points was because Ginobilli was out, and he gets a lot more shots on the Argentine team than he would if he played with Yao and McGrady on the Rockets. For the US , the whole team is comprised of all-stars, so there is no need for one player to score a lot of points or play a lot of minutes.

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

h**l no!

Answer 5

I think the reason Scola is doing good in the olympics is because he is the best player on the team and his role is to carry the team. When he plays for Houston he isn't as dominate because there are other players that are more effective, like Yao for one. Scola couldn't consistently do that good against teams in the NBA because he just isn't that type of player, he is more of a role player, not a star. However, I will give him credit he did do well.

Answer 6

NO there are NBA players not in the Olympic that would score 28+ against the team thats out there.  Pierce at 3 garnett at 4 duncan at 5 iverson at 2 and take your pick for a point gaurd.  

Answer 7

Top 100 maybe!!
