He was named the MVP of the Spanish League in 2004-05 and 2006-07 and Rookie of the Year in 2000.

Pamela Rocchetti was in a long time relationship before she and Luis tied the knot. Together they are the proud parents of four small and adorable children, all boys, Tiago, Tomas, Matias and Lucas.
The couple have always played the low key card, and not much is known about their family life. However, Scola along with wife Pamela and their four boys usually spend the off-season in the couple’s native Argentina.
For what we see, Pamela Scola isn’t very active on social media and is not very involved with other wives from the Toronto Raptors team.
