#1 Luís Scola - Argentina
Luís Scola will turn 40 next year, although the former NBA player has rolled back the years in China. The veteran once again led Argentina during their 94-81 win over Nigeria, and Scola's team-high 23 points lifted him into second place on the list for most points scored in FIBA World Cup history.
Scola needed 16 shots to reach the record, and even his shooting from beyond the arc (1/5) wasn't enough to dampen another improbable performance. The 39-year-old also led his Argentine team with 10 rebounds and defended well despite playing against much more athletic wings.

Scola's form from the free-throw line was almost perfect (6-7), and basketball fans will hope that the former NBA star continues to defy father-time in his fifth and probably final World Cup appearance.
