    I have personally written a strong letter of recommendation for the Rockets to hire Luis Scola as our new color commentator

    Here is an English version of the video.



    The 2009 team was my favorite Rockets team since the championship years. Took the Lakers to 7 games after losing both Yao and Deke.

    Scola!
    I almost didn’t recognize him without the trademark mop.

    He looks like he could play 5 more yrs.

    I forgot that Rockets legends Von Wafer and James White were on that team...

    Amazing story, amazing team!

    How can anyone watch that send off for Luis and not have a tear in their eye?
    Luis was overcome and the recognition of all that he has given the game was tremendous. Classy individual given a classy send off

    I wish you had written a letter to hire him as an assistant coach.

    It was hard to watch, because I know he loves the game. All heart and soul. :(

    Like watching him die a little, but... so much grace.
