Argentine basketball star: Messi is the best we have, that's beyond football

Former NBA basketball player Luis Scola believes Leo Messi is the best that Argentines have and that goes beyond football, according to Mundo Sportivo.   

"Messi is the best we have. I laugh when in Argentina it is discussed. I think it's a lie, I can't understand it. ” Luis Scola is the one who speaks. 

The Argentina international basketball star is another of those who provide a look beyond the sport and athletes. 

"I identify more with Messi. Like what I say about Messi goes far beyond football. 

"I put Messi on top of all the good things we Argentines have ... One of the things I see about Messi is that he doesn't throw himself away. 

"He could be throwing himself constantly because he is kicked, grabbed by the shirt and keeps running. That is very anti-Argentine. But I say it as a compliment to him, not as a criticism for the rest, ”he said and it was much more than a detail.
