It came from the soul. From the deepest part of each one, knowing that, even though they are no longer on the court together, the emotion is the same. Luis Scola and Manu Ginobili protagonized the most emotional scene of the day when, after Argentina's victory over France, they embraced on the side of the court.
Between tears and expressing all that feeling for this sport that is giving so much joy to Argentina, Emanuel Ginobili and Luis Scola, former teammates, hugged each other and provoked the emotion of the attendees at the Beijing Coliseum in China.
Emanuel Ginobili (retired) and Luis Scola are part of the golden generation of Argentine basketball that had its epic moment with the gold medal in the Athens 2004 Olympic Games and that could write another golden page in the China 2019 World Cup.
The Argentine team defeated France 80 to 66 and for the first time in 69 years reached the final of the basketball World Cup where they are seeking their second title, just like they achieved in the only decisive final back in 1950.
The embrace between Luis Scola and Emanuel Ginobili was the proof of how much Argentina enjoyed this qualification to the final. Without 'Manu', the golden era of Argentine basketball continues thanks to 'El Baba Yaga'.
