A Chat with Draft Prospect Ricky Rubio from Spain

[Verification11]

how come pau and mark gasol have an american accent and those spanish player have bad accent ??? WTF is wrong

[MrDarkstalker15]

@Verification11 Duh!? They're Spanish! English is not their native language, you can't expect every foreigner to speak English in an American accent. Plus the reason why Pau has an American accent is because he's been in America since when he was a teenager back in 2000. His brother Marc came along with him and pursued his high school studies in Memphis and that's the reason why.

[Verification11]

@MrDarkstalker15 oh thats why they have good american accent, i asked because i wonder if i can have american accent like pau and mark do heheeh

i think i have the" terrorist accent" ahhaha, cause i'm an arab you know LOL

thanks for the reply man.

have a nice day

[ipeXezer]

Hey yoo comon ricky rubio played when he was a kid in a Fucking good team not much people got that oportunity but he had it..Yes when he was 14 years old he could play good but when i looked those videos with the guys that he was playing they was a shit But ricky is lucky 2 to have been playing in DKV Juventut its the second best team in ACB.

[dfaus11]

Yes he was pro at 14 years, 11 months and 25 days +- XD. It's crazy, but it's crazy because the kid is too... He started in DKV Joventud, a good spanish team in the league, the ACB, 2nd best league in the world. He improve much in his firt games, helped by Rudy Fernandez, his teammate then. They 2 made a mortal combination that mades win 2 important titles in europe.

[BasketballPlusHiphop]

i dont know how he was a pro at 14 when he says he first started playing basketball at 14??

[davidson2014]

[sokerhead]

[bluefire042004]

[smellmynutz]

only 4 yrs to be a b-ball star? soccer stars had to start at age 5; 10 is the latest.

[sportsnerd321]

[nrx845rep]

[DBlockn05]

[JAHKAMREN]

[sokerhead]

David Khan is flying across the Atlantic to steal Ricky

[wallyimus008]

[javierlop3z]

[imtheking1001]

[nicolassanchezgarrid]

usa is being dragging by your people who is idiot and doesnt know nothing about history

.Ricky comes from a country which have more history than usa.

you all are fucking envious

regards from spain

[tmh1717]

the first EMO player in nba history!!!! lol

[gitariztahomme]

dumb ass, micheal jordan is the best!!!

[soulplane64]

you racist piece of shit, I am educated at harvard. Studying medicine. Ricky's contribution to the united states is playing basketball. He does not drag the country down.

[chitowngirl773]

wow beautiful boy. he has amazing eyes.

[PlaidSoxs]

stfu

[MsQuigley19]

wow look at his eyelashes!!!!

im jealous!!!!!!

[theprofessor23]

Overrated x2

[ldc62]

hes bout as good as bellineli but bellineli isnt being used to his full potential right now

[NathanFlores17]

Ricky has AWESOME HAIR!

[LilianaFan]

♥ ♥ Ricky Rubio ♥ ♥ ǝɯosǝʍɐ sı sıɥʇ

[supercazurro]

I can't understand why kings didn't pick rubio.

[ldc62]

tyreke is a great defender.

[thakiller1221]

hey what's ur problem, I speak spanish and english at the same time. puedes tu hacer eso? I'm from Dominican Republic.

[GeRiGiXXeR600]

Gasol didnt know SHIT about english before going to the states and now he speaks better than most of you US civilians who criticize Ricky. Just wait a few months after he planes on a NBA team and you will feel the most stupid and pathetic persons in the world, while all you can say in spanish is "hola", "adios", "fiesta" and "muy bueno". I love the United States but some of the people who live here is just the most ignorant people on Earth, godammit!!

[IsThisEvenEdible]

Is that true about Pau?

Pau's english should have been as good as yours when he entered the NBA. Not perfect, but good enough.

English is part of regular education in Barcelona, isn't it?

To be objective, Pau does not speak english nearly as well as most Americans...

ucoocho is a moron and disgrace, though.. probably doesn't know the difference between Mexico and Spain.

[chicagomarchingbands]

hell most American can't even speak English. Its all slang. and different parts of the country have different accents

[aTreeIsaTree]

Speak for yourself.

You "went to Corliss and Graduated"? Do you consider graduating high school an accomplishment?

It's illiterate people like you who drag a country down. Go to college.

[McTiasR]

go to college? what for, to waste your life

[GeRiGiXXeR600]

ps: yeah trust me, I knew Pau a little due to his brother Marc (which is playing for Grizzlies at this moment) and they both knew shit at first. It was after the posibility of going to the NBA when they decided to start taking some lessons lol

[chicagomarchingbands]

sad but true...people in Europe hate US tourist lol

[trolltrolero]

no we dont!

we REALLY like US female tourists!

[nrx845rep]

to where?

[stevenh1210]

hes speaking in a different language, of course he'll sound slow.

[bll33]

no, that means that im spanish

[tonyxu45]

But he would bust yuhr ass if he were 4 that would make yu .. ummm NOTHING

[bll33]

how old are you?4?

[bll33]

you are even more stupid than you looked somo hours ago

[CWei917]

this is stupid....the kings interview him and didn't even draft him in the draft......poor rubio!!!! got bullied...

[BibleBurnr]

bery nice nice

[BibleBurnr]

nice nice

[BibleBurnr]

et louks nice nice nice

[BibleBurnr]

looooks nice nice guy

[bll33]

a ver anormal me vas a decir a mi lo que significa mojado, tonto de los cojones?

you dont even know where is Spain so shut the fuck

[geekybutpretty101]

He's hot if you'd ask me. (:

[rachitballer]

not to be a hater at all

but i think this guy is overrated

[Kiddpadle]

He did play very well during the olympics...

I like the way he played, he defenetly deserves a place in the NBA, lets see if he can evolve into a real NBA player.

[bll33]

and you need to know that mojado means wet, gilipollas

[CorkyzD]

ok wtf is with the white dudes hair it like puffed out in the back, lol

[doriangarvin]

LMAO o shit

[Interloper83]

He is relatively slow. I just feel like this guy may be hype. He is young and might have room for improvement but i dont think he has the tools. Most of his highlight passing looks like he's about to lose the ball and they are all on slow european bigmen.

[michael411024]

SOMEONE MIX TAPE IT!!!

[xylese]

went to the timberwolves

[nfltank55]

looks liek a jonas brother

[linkinpain]

i dont get it.. ricky plays just like any punk kid i play with at the park =/

[sichrisako]

Ricky is going to OKC...well its just a draft perview

[buttercuptuffy56]

shows how much u know

[BennduR]

man this reporter is so monotone. damn boring to listen to.

[19AZS45]

hahaha :D mixtapes ^^

He should be great

[tarekflash91]

this dude started to play since 14 years and after 4 years goes to the NBA,,and I'm playing basketball since 6 years and now 12 years passed and I didn't get even close to the draft .....

[bll33]

i wanna see you guys with 18 years speaking in other language for an interview.i'd really love to see it.

i dont know how you dare to criticize someone for speaking bad english when you are so uncultured, when you dont know a fuck of anything around the US

[rodsanchez11]

lol.... PREACH!!

[mariohds86]

it's so funny how some americans are so ignorant, here's some info about argentina :Most Argentines are descended from colonial-era settlers and of the 19th and 20th century immigrants from Europe, and 86.4% of Argentina's population self-identify as European descent , so yeah ginobili is white almost half of latin americans are white the rest are mestizo and native, go back to school !

[sokerhead]

And you're Anglo so what's the big deal

[DeathNoteBlue]

is he wearing mascara?

[sokerhead]

No he just has beautiful lashes & doesn't need mascara like your ugly girlfriend who hides her face with makeup

[linkinpain]

ROFL dude that was hilarious

[dwestbaby13]

haha shoutouts to "mixtapes on youtube" by rubio

[NBAfan1993]

shaq goes to cleveland

OMG!!!!!!!this is kool

[robyniscool99]

"CP3 is a really nice people"

[Andreaguiar2]

This is to people who wonder why he speaks english so badly is because in spain they dont teach english well, the teachers dont know nothing and the kids in spain have to learn from american/britain and other countries movies, tv shows and other things were english is spoken wich are shown worldwide.

[TeoJordanGR]

Shaq goes to Cleveland !!!!!!!

I just read it from the internet !!!!

[Bcookeya2]

ya interesting trade... i wonder how it will workout

[Bcookeya2]

I don't like Rubio, I think he's overrated. A bit like: Darko Miličić (Who was 2nd pick in 2003 NBA DRAFT) or: Andrea Bargnani (1st pick 2006 draft). Hopefully Ty Lawson will go higher, he's quicker and a better guard, shooter, quicker, and far better penetration ability.

[roboslug]

It's unfortunate Ty Lawson is a bit undersized. I'm not saying he's a bad player cuz he is good but I don't know how much impact he can have in the NBA.

[kingcyruslee]

4:56 he said kings fans and ricky rubio thinks he meant spain fan.

Ricky Rubio-when i come here next year i will be help all the team.

[michael411024]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!! I will help all the team

[jat157]

Emo X_x'

[PrzPride922]

overrated...

[slamdunksuperman]

he thinks they suck! look at his expression! HAHA

[gotmymindwright]

i saw di ribber...it was berry nice...

[BCObozeman]

the kings are a good team

ROFL

HAHA they suck

[ctrlsoul]

Come to RAPTORS =)

[superaleex14]

He start to play in ACB(spanish leage) when he was 14

[mariohds86]

ginobili is also white, does he suck?? wha t aretard he's probably frustrated cuz more foreign players are coming over playing good ball

[oneofakindvc1993]

ginobili is not white, he is from argentina

[sokerhead]

Lol are you blind/dumb xD hahaha learn something about Argentina

[oneofakindvc1993]

What u talking bout, thats where hes from, so he is Argentine. just look him up on google.

[sublime8992]

wow that was blindingly ignorant

[matthewmattmarty]

i'm bringing the d.s.i m.c.

[hypnotizeu]

hes the first player born in the 1990s to be in the nba

[1ahmadrockets1]

Hes just like me. I live in Qatar and I woke up for 90% of the Rockets games, which are all around 3 or 4 am.

[LuffyGears2]

That's good man. Shout out from Canada. :D I love your dedication to your team. :P

[ibzan24]

the kid is talented no doubt. but its gonna be a hard transition for him. point guard is a difficult position to play only few master it in their first year let alone come from a different style of ball and master it.

he has great potential, im not gonna say hes gonna suck nobody knows how he's gonna do. all i know is that he's gonna have to put in some serious work to be able to get used to the NBA style.

[joepescifromcasino]

hes just a skinny little kid he wont be able to guard the American guards their too big and too fast for him, besides that i dont think he has what it takes defensively and overall physically to do good in the NBA but i dont blame him for trying the thought of huge endorsements and a fat paycheck are always worth the risk, and if he fucks up he's just a F.O.B. he can act like he doesnt understand

[booster566]

lol alot of players in the came into the nba when they were skinny kinda like kobe and rubio is pretty wuick all he needs to do is keep his turnovers down improve his jump shot and get bigger

[GoldRebelMN]

Which teams gets this boy , will suck for ever , he cant do anything in nba.

[btuo247]

First player reppin' the 90s born players

[bl3nd808]

agreed.... name me one white player thats a superstar that is not european?? cant because white players are garbage. no racist haha

[globou]

white players are garbage???? go tell this to nowitzki!!!

[btuo247]

Isn't nowitzki european?

[willepillee]

yes he is, he is from germany

[basketaru1173]

he is from spain

[1ahmadrockets1]

He means a white American player. Im not really sure, cuz I dont know if Jason Kidd, D-Will or Prince are actually white or if there African-American with light skin.

Those 3 are pretty good though.

[SolarxWind]

hes european...

[greatnessinthemaking]

not to mention Larry Bird and Jerry West (both in HOF)

[GodBrotherStudios]

isnt he canadian or european? just saying...

[BiggieBrooklyn]

he's from spain

[danimonter]

jason kidd

[roboslug]

Who was the 2 time NBA MVP? Steve Nash IS Canadian. If you want to go back in history Jerry West (HE IS THE NBA LOGO) Bob Cousy (He made the flashy streetball style before there was streetball). Grow up.

[habeeba12]

Nash

[Willster54321]

ur crzy dude d-fish will b, im not sayign that they dont want him 2 b a better point gaurd, he wont start till derek fisher retires thats for sure.

[greatnessinthemaking]

You'ree absolutely right.

Farmar is decent.

but Fish is just too damn clutch.

[JDOGFTW]

He's coming to the lakers in a trade.

[Auto0725]

That would be fucking awesome!

[kklol7]

Don't kid yourself.

[hurricaneluffy]

lolz

[BruthoMadre]

he might have a good future..Good luck Rubio.

[brinmcphin]

he looks 8 years old haha

[BigPapiPhx]

Grizzlies should take him and trade him to the Kings

[sokerhead]

ooohh he is soo cute hehehe he reminds me of high school musical.

[BeAnBeAn22]

thts what i thot in tht picture of him. haha

[Ferrarie100]

this guy is good at passing. he's the spanish version of steve nash

[nbarenas]

thank you

[NICKLAUD4]

he was only 17 at the olympics

[stepaniss]

Ricky dawg! Pray you dont go to the fag kings. If you go there, your career will be ruined, at least go to a team that has some upside rather then the Sacramento Queens

[ljb265]

what up with the interviewer's hair?

[WorkingOutTheKinks]

IT is UP.

[chrisdakid15]

cHECK oUT mY rICKY rUBIO mIX

[xAgent0]

is he actually good enough to play against nba players?cuz all he was playing with are people from spain who arent as good

[Ninga0809]

i think they started noticing him after he played against team USA in the 2008 olympics. He was pretty good and was mostly the reason why the gold medal game was so close.

[brinmcphin]

jose calderon, rudy fernandez, pau gasol, marc gasol, he played with some nba players on spain, but i see where your commin from

[CavsLBJ2]

that was painful listening to him talk....lol

[Quixotic1018]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but was this the guard for Spain in the Olympics?

[SopranosHBK45]

Yeah ur right he was the point guard for Spain

[johnnyjohn123]

i thought it was calderon

[hotshot1434]

your correct.

[vatechisbeast]

yeah

[SopranosHBK45]

my bad u guys are right i was only thinking of the final game bn spain and the us...my b

[weric2468]

better fit for the warriors, personally

[aS3AN]

He has 43% 3PT Percentage? That's good isn't it?

[xGuitarshredderx]

Well once he gets in the NBA it won't be as good.

[MumbotheShaman]

ya that is pretty good. 40% is a solid 3 pt percentage.

[Pimkins]

0_o

Do you know Spanish?

[Yo0Yo0Man]

He saw some mixtapes in youtube Lol hes gonna be good he has some steve nash jason kidd material hes gonna give a better name to the kings

[ballantines82]

he is going to be the next nash you ll see
