[sokerhead]

He's 14 here I can't wait to see him play in the NBA

[litas09]

hes 17 than he was 14 he play in royal sopain league

[JayHTizzle]

Damn yo.. all I wanted to do was click on this video and check the shit out. I was completely unaware that only fags watched this shit. Apparently based on all the mindless, just utterly ridiculous, bullshit being typed on here. Wow! Great to see how intellect prevails.. wooohooo! LOL

[ecenac]

yeah everyone, but just think he is only like 15 or 16 here

[kolorao]

he is actually 14 years old in this video...

[URASHITMONKEY]

Rubio is just like everything else from spain.

NOBODY CARES.

[seminole1031]

yeah gasol just helped the lakers to a championship....

wow you sure know your basketball

[URASHITMONKEY]

I know Spain better you fucking burrito eating halfbreed chimp

[seminole1031]

haha how old are you?

there has to be a ton of inbreeding in your family

sorry about that man... there's nothing I can do for you

[elenam6]

ommmmmgggg fuck you...no one cares about ur fucking country...if spain didnt exist then the world wouldnt be the same...so..SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH

[chasbo13]

how exciting, he will be warming some benches in america for years to come!

[elenam6]

fuck you...

[bideun]

aren't burritos from mexico and not from spain?

[elenam6]

yeah what up with that now?

[URASHITMONKEY]

NO YOU'RE THINKING OF CHALUPAS, LOL.

[gilshaq]

yes man, a lot of people think that mexican´s things are from spain but is not true

[michaeljimpogi23]

i think he can be on nba this nba draft!!!

[tpn1989]

already back then he knew how to use the backboard

[runerounin]

he's gay

[Superlookys]

He wasn't 15... he was 14!!!

[vegilla]

es el mejorrr tan joven y es el mas bueno jugando

[sam7krak7satorre]

Ricky was only fifteen there and did amazing things but i think the way he played against USA at beijing the NBA will want to draft him in the next few years ... just look at rudy fernandez da spanish are awsome also ricky played in the ACB at the age of fifteen so i think hes gonna go to da NBA soon ... VIVA ESPAÑA, RICKY,RUDY,CALDERÓN Y GASOL SOIS LOS PUTOS AMOS

[lockgiants]

u write like da idiots in da spesial classes dat dont not nowe any english

[sam7krak7satorre]

mate why the fuck do you have to send fucked up responses to people that have nothing to do with you, also im spanish you fucking cock and i can write how i how i want to you twat

[piemuo88]

he was only 15 and did that kind of things ? 1:58 - 2:03 ? it's just ridiculous. freak of nature

[darksplit]

HOY he visto a ricky !!

en la parada de metro Universidad en Barcelona !!!

uaaaaaa

me he vuelto loco !!!

vaia tio !!!

[natalieinlfp]

yo he's only 15 here

[GKECU]

for real...nice.

[sauld420]

For those of you who dont know, the ACB league, scouts say, is a higher level than college basketball is. Just so you know.

[crazedcamel11]

Doesn't look ready for the nba yet, but he will be very soon.

[mtv637]

i watch the gold medal game between usa and spain and came up very impressed with two players. rudy ferendez and ricky rubio. (note: i already know usa was awesome) ferendez will probably challenge for rookie of the year. rubio? he has made game. total point guard star all over him. top 5 pick in next years draft.

[deez349849]

leon i dont care where you played ball. rubio is the 2nd best young point guard not in the nba in the world. brandon jennings being first. he is an all around true point guard. he's not supposed to have the wettest jumper. and of course lebron was better at his age. lebron was also 1 foot taller and 50 lbs. more of sheer muscle than anyone he played against. comparing him to lebron is unfair. lebron is superhuman. like jordan type superhuman.dont sleep on rubio.he's more than ready for the n.b.a

[YUSKUE123]

get off espn's dick. you opinions arent even your own. brandon jennings is sucking it and rubio is on his way up but he's not killing it, rudy fernandez is better right now. RIGHT NOW

[MurphDoggx83]

nah i wasnt talkin bout u hatin leondarrius...i was talkin bout that nerd ass move2003ny hatin on the u.s. can he cant be us

[rocoundone]

to suck cock

[leondarrius]

Hating! Why is it that every time someone gives there opionion to something they gotta be hating? Man I play ball! I played for basketball for country's you can't even pronounce! I even tried out for the LA Lakers fam! from what I saw this kid isn't ready for NBA Basketball! The European's have talent but Americans got that Killer instinct! Lebron james was a monster at his age! There are no excuses!

[TitoMiguelito]

Yeah, Lebron is Super Travelman

[susantidadelpapa]

he was 14 on this vid, not 17

lets wait for next olympics to see rubio

lebron is more complete though

[migueltxo69]

lebron james was playing in hisghschool at his age, playing against schoolboys. most of this schoolboys will never play basketball profesionally. im not saying that ricky is better than lebron, but he had been playing in the acb since he is 14. maybe you dont know that the acb is the best league in europe, he has been playing against proffesional players (most of them with an nba level) since he is 14!!! come on!! he needs to improve his shooting but he plays like he is 30!!

[newagepun]

Lebron was a man among men in his prep school division, physically and he was ready for the pro sports workload. Its true to build the franchise on someone like him. Rubio compared to the talent in his coming draft is more complete and aware about playing the pro style, more or less the nba style. You can't compare the two since one is a physical specimen needing experience while the other is a instinctive young man needing the big stage of a pro team.

[YUSKUE123]

a man amoung men?

[rhetcadet]

Are you reading this

[rhetcadet]

Hey spencer whats up?

[whitetrashbiotch]

you can't put this ruby guy against deron williams, chris paul, baron davis and nash etc. although he is still young and will improve as he gets older. I dont think he would be a number one pick either.

[leondarrius]

Ricky who? THis guy just wen't up against the Team USA! He didn't do shit! He's got alot to work on! I MEAN ALOT!

[sigtm]

The kid's 17 and he went up against the best, most athletic players in the world, all of whom have several years of NBA experience. What did you expect him to do?

[leondarrius]

After what I saw yesterday! HE'S NOT READY! THE ONLY THING I SAW WAS HIM PASSING AND HAVING A FEW ASSIST!

[sigtm]

Of course he's got work to do, my point is that it shouldn't surprise anyone that he's not NBA ready yet. Give the kid some time to develop before you start hating.

[doobiesz]

yo bro. international games have 10 min quarters.

in the spainish vs. usa game, it wasent his job or place to be scoring. They had Rudy Fernandez, Pau Gasol, and jaun Carlos Navvaro doing the bulk of the scoring.

His job was to not turn the ball over and play pesky defense

Actually, for one so young playing on (arguably) the biggest stage against pretty much the best competition in the world... he held up well

when i watched his play in that game one thing came to mind: under control

[suzyscrew]

no way this guy goes #1. Looks like a normal high school kid that you'd see at any gym around the world. the real topic should be the lack of defense in that league.

[grizzleface23]

He must develope a left hand to be good in the NBA

[MurphDoggx83]

we'll see how good he is on saturday...we got no more excuses(team usa) and cant afford to sleep on these teams this year...we should sweep the floor with these clowns but only if we play with any kind of intensity

[move2003ny]

"we should sweep the floor with these clowns", and then you will go abroad and will wonder why why why so many people hate you...

(hint: it is not for your values and freedom)

[MurphDoggx83]

hi hater

[icedabest12]

he has potential

[bitemenow609]

No big deal. He is only 17 though.

[clutchcity25]

The hispanic Allen Iverson.

[soulstice99]

mediocre

[peanuthead122]

komebakking thats the funniest damn post ive ever read. these guys do fucking blow. my 6 year old son is more cordinated than these frogs.

[saful3]

Ricky estará posiblemente en el futuro entre los tres mejores jugadores españoles de la historia del baloncesto. Número 1 del draft

[loylazlo]

damn hes good

[sanchezrami]

la verdad ricky un gran jugadory eso q soy argentino y quedo una espina por lo que paso en el mundial pero bueno es un jugador con mucho futuro

[marcoscancelas]

Además este se sabe una cosa que en USA no tenéis ni puta idea de lo que es... Jugar en equipo, entiende el juego y lo desarrolla, no es un simple malabarista de las calles de los que decís que hay 1000 en cualquier ciudad en USA. Por cierto, es titular en la selección campeona del mundo de un juego de equipo... ¿Cómo, que no sabés que juego es? lo inventastéis vosotros pero creo que ya no sabéis jugarlo...

[marcoscancelas]

Matthewsmiley, you have to see how he use his left hand at the present time, he´s now 17 and he´s better than anyone else in the NBA, with the right hand, with the left hand and with his feet, with his head, y con el culo... Try to watch in you tube Spain-Lituania yesterday

[milosTOP5]

jajajaja gran comentario tio;) xD

[marinavf]

eres espectacular ricard!

[matthewsmiley]

He doesn't use his left hand at all he uses his right hand no matter what side hes on

[sikelturko]

He's 14... think about it... He's 17 nowadays... He will join the Spanish National Team to play in the Olympics as PG, with Jose Calderon (Raptors) and Raul Lopez (former Utah Jazz), and Sergio Rodriguez (Portland Trail Blazers) has not been selected... He has a maturity that none of your tumbler players have... Continue on telling SHIT about him, u will eat it after seeing him...

[ronniedobbs101]

Idiots, he is like 14 years old in this clip. Yes he won't be a superstar but he will be a very good PG in the NBA.

[sikelturko]

why is hide this comment????????

[blewlinecd]

This kid is not a top 10 draft pick period. He might not even play more then a season or two stateside.

[pharoahtwon]

I have to agree. I've seen alot of "Slick Rick" -as he is trying to be dubbed stateside- and no doubt he is a talent. But, he will not be the #1 pick in the draft. He lacks the foot speed and shooting ability to garner that spot. Def a lottery pick, though.

[GrimedOut]

I agree

[987654321agent]

Its sad that he has all these good passes but his teammates cant hold on to the ball and they dont expect it

[fellXhouseXranger]

so any kid in a the big cities in the united states could start at point guard in the second/third best league in the world at 17, lead that league in steal and help take there team to the national championship in that league and into the euroleague next year.

any kid in the usa could get there spainish passport and walk onto the SPANISH NATIONAL TEAM AT 17 just like ricky rubio as he will play in the OLYMPICS this year.

[fellXhouseXranger]

theres a reason the states are terrible in international basketball, your teams are full of "big city united state city kids" who don't know how to play as a team and with fundamentals.

[PFlaw317]

Go to any big city in the States and you will find kids with the same type of skill level on the streets.

[newagepun]

Hahaha... I bet taller too huh? So tell me what happend to those said kids before NBA put the 1 yr in college rule? So many failed talents from people who can ball on the street but can't really play in a high level of team play. Yes... I sadly said it. "TEAM PLAY". Gerald Green who has awesome athleticism... minimal basketball intelligence and he's not in the NBA anymore. While these bobbed head euro slowpokes who actually know how to ball are still in the league!

[SAINTKUSH]

He is going 2 be the greatest disapointment in NBA history if he is the number one pick he aint show me nothing yet?? is it just me can someone tell me y he's a lottery pick already have you seen the gaurds out of pitt there is second round draft picks better then him he lucky he aint playing in the states now the NBA wants 2 show some good will but he aint that nice for real..

[sammuel10foot]

greatest disappointment in NBA history "Ante Tomic" I'd hope he turns out OK but i hear you ever year people start getting these HUGE EXSPECTATIONS about 1 or 2 players then when the end up being "OK" or average its a media frenzy, Rubio's good ....dam good but plz stop over rating the guy!

[hawak79]

54 Points, 24 Rebounds, 12 Assists and a Buzzer-Beater from halfcourt to send the game to overtime in the u16 Championshipgame against Russia is showing you nothing? He has great courtvision, good ballhandling, quick first step and a nice touch. He won't be the no. one pick but at least in the first round.

[bballdaniel]

maiin they play ball like lil kids ur sum demaaar is way bettr

[civicsi099]

nash and ginobli combo. this guy is pretty good

[juanjo920804]

que crack

[alexmurciano]

ricky eres fantasticoo!!

[LilDreezy]

what about Demar Derozan?

[jaypedz]

2 words.....Demar DeRozan

[magix2K7]

he's just 17 ...

read about him on drafexpress before you make foolish statements

[JKFrazier]

OJ Mayo would make mincemeat of this guy.

[mouxailts]

you are true bro...ricky sucks in front of oj mayo...

[magix2K7]

dude this guy leads the best team in the second best league in the world get the fuck out of here ncaa is shit compared to ACB

[cuacke]

In this video Ricky are 13, now he is 17. How old is Brandon? 19?

[nikezman]

FANTASTIC SPANISH!

[mouxailts]

so if u believe that ricky rubio is the best player in the world try this....compare ricky rubio with brandon jennings.....and then tell us the truth....

[ilmagoab7]

Rubio is one of the best players in spanish league and has already played in euroleague. Jennings is playing in high-school. You can't compare them even if Brandon is a great talent.

[pustoolio]

How can you compare a guy putting big numbers in pro basketball to a kid playing at high school?.

[pustoolio]

He's a kid playing men's bball, Brandon is a kid playing kid's ball and even Ricky is one year younger, your statement is, at least, laughable.

[mouxailts]

i think you dont wanna see the truth....you cant compare them....br is the best...and he is already for the nba....

[rosky1919]

RICKY THE BEST YOUNG PLAYER ON THE WORLD!!!!!!!! only 17 years old and with 14 years old he played in ACB(Spanish league basketball) and the last year was playing the Europe league basketball!!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!!!

[skipke2020]

Kid reminds me of a Hinrich/Ginobili mix. He'll be a good player in the NBA at some point.

El Amin's best days are WAY behind him. This kid is just coming into his own.

[airgaston]

you can not compare this player with GINOBILI...

This player sucks in comparation with Manu

[skipke2020]

Right, that's why he's cosidered the best European guard prospect since Drazen Petrovic and a sure fire lottery pick in 2009. Draft Express has him as the #1 pick in 09. Oh yeah, he's also only 17 years old.

[makiko100]

ricky(the phenom!) sucks el-amin's black dick :)))

[southflatbushbanga]

brandon jennings would thrash this nigga

[gabritq]

prasinilla SUCK MY DICK RULES IDIOT .... WHAT IS RULES? FUCK YOU IDIOT

[prasinilla]

[fl0pyRz]

como le gusta a los guiris a ricky rubio... xDD POLLOIDER is serbia - EspaÑa

[alecthegreat2004]

whattttt??? this guy is not very good

[akuonye]

people are actually saying this guy had a 51 point 24 rebound, and 12 assist game before. but yet i can't find it anywhere

[POLLOIDER]

search spain russia ricky rubio

[kdnasty5013]

he did and he had a quadruple double with 19 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, and 11 steals. But i can't find any of those either.

[AngelVLC75]

/watch?v=etHAZ3SLTJY

[erikseidel]

It is actually true, he made 51 pts

[kruges146]

he did it in the junior world bball final against russia...try searchin that

[Willux]

he will be, he's only 16 and he's playing pro :D

[Kore2468]

He reminds me more of Steve Nash...The way he dribbles off screens..

[Kore2468]

Best player outside the NBA.......Chen Jianghua.

[kdnasty5013]

Chen Jianghua is nasyt as hell but he has age on Ricky so he prolly is better by a little bit. Na f**k outta here he not betta dan Ricky Rubio

[kasiukas11]

maybe some1 knows ricky?? have he changed after europe championship in 2006??

[lennonphile]

JORGE 0811, para empezar, eres un payaso, y no llegaras a nada, porque tu egocentrismo no te lo permitiria, y por cierto, no creo que puedas conmigo jugando, y yo tengo 17 años y mido 1.90

[piemaster5000]

actually he is on the slam magazine. but yer best player outside the nba is 2 much 4 sure

[slick0123]

Hes got real good instinct for stealin the ball. but i think best player outside the NBA is a little too much.

[Thomy30]

I totally agree, i read that SLAM article and yah he seems pretty good but not best outside nba ball

[kdnasty5013]

So who is da best player outside NBA ball.

[laza956]

the best player ever to play outside the nba is Dejan Bodiroga but he is retired now...

[Willux]

you mean Arvydas Sabonis :D

[LeBronKingMVP23]

yer jorge man... kinda sad claiming to be as good as the BEST PLAYA OUTSIDE THE NBA!!! if u was that good then y arent u in SLAM magazine and puttin up world record numbers ay??? how bout wen u go to the NBA then come back and go on about good u r... ur an idiot man. and yer u ""could"" do everything he does but u ""dont"" now do u?

[jorge0811]

i could do all what he just did and im 15, and yes i do do it with people ranging from 16-35 years old...

[blakesockwell]

so when was the last time you had 51 points, 21 rebounds, 12 assists and 7 steals in a game jorge. you might be able to find a place to upload a video on the world wide web rather than talking about how good you are. hmmm, where could you upload a video?

[hailuunets]

i dont know which 1 he is..they al look simiar

[charliehibbert]

Nice touch off the glass.

[murph2987]

kind of looks like pistol pete

[andysaywatdaph0]

hes soo dominant

[dunkonu32]

Is he really ready? only time will tell, the NBA is a whole new ball game, and especially since this kid is only 16 he is gonna have to put the work into it right now,in the long run i see him as a manu ginobili, period.

[Kore2468]

manu is definately not a bad choice, though.

[DoctorMalarkian]

His teamates need to learn to finish...

[brownboy12691]

...rickys team is blue..not the shitty red team..so if u were to watch it again, you would see that his team is finishing every shot

[thomaswhago]

they're all 16 and under. in a game against russia's 16 under team he had 51 points, 21 rebounds, 12 assists and 7 steals and that was the world championship game.

[cmacbrown]

how old r these kids

[jobester84]

taco, burrito, gordita, blah blah blah, i can't understand you... white power.

[JRawsek]

Shut the fuck up! there are more countries then just the goddamn USA

[battosaizks]

Si,si, jianghua es mejor...por eso Ricky está jugando Euroliga y el otro en China...

[Parritz]

Gracias por todo Ricky, eres la envidia de muchos jugadores jovenes como yo, es impresionante como controla a DKV, impresionante la remontada contra el Maccabi, aunke de poko sirvio, pero el solo la hizo!, ficha por el TAU que es mi ekipo!

[TING19840408]

I think Chen Jianghua is better than him !!!

[prestidge]

u have n0 idea

[goldenshots]

looks liek a wannabe iverson

just sort of kinda more udner control

but doesnt look liek he has any range

[elmerspooglue]

hes only 16.. and yea he does have range.. i think he will make it into the nba.

[PistolPat00]

Think?!!? pfff... He'll be 20-time all star

[mysteral]

Looks like a younger Spanish version of Adam Morrison...

[PistolPat00]

He isn't Spanish

[mysteral]

Yes, he is...

[ese7]

por cierto, critica a imbroda vaya basura de seleccion sub20, llevando lo facil, chicos conocidos pero que no juegan en equipo... que mire por la EBA de madrid porque hay un chico que no quiero nombrar que aun jugando poco haria lo que quisiera con cualquier jugador español... pista, es un base

y animo ricky, eres muy bueno pero ahora a aguantar la presion y mejorar mas que aun hay un pais con bastante mas nivel que nosotros en todas las edades... USA

[ese7]

exageraos... este chico es muy muy bueno, y lo que hizo en la final fue impresionante.

pero aun asi se precipita mucho la gente con todos esos comentarios.. y las lesiones no existen? alguien se acuerda de alexandrov? y todos los jugadores que llegan lejos por trabajar durante años sin que nadie les eche piropos? ha habido muchos jugadores que de pequeño destacan por madurar antes que el resto, pero luego se estancan...

[javixavi69]

JUGON!

[Jakoby]

este chaval con 19 añitos estara liderando a españa en turquia 2010... y no os extrañe que le den una oportunidad para el europeo aqui el año que viene, 2007, si hace una buena temporada en el dkv joventut...

[cenc]

este tio es 1mega crack ! aun no e visto el video xo tenia q poner esto .. madre miaaaa ! ! ! e visto sus estadisticas d la final del europeo cadete y riete d gasol calderon y compañia, a exo 51 ptos, 24 rebotes, 12 asistencias, mas d 80 de valoracioN :o este niño es el futuro, q digo el futuro es el presente ! ! ! q no le llame pepu xa llevarlo a japon :p

[pablopc]

¿Cuanto tardará en llamar la NBA a su puerta?

[Fizban24]

Este chaval debutó en ACB con 14 años... y aún sin cumplir los 16 domina en Europa siendo el líder de España en el europeo sub-16. El único que puede estropear una buena trayectoria es él mismo... ójala no le llenen la cabeza de tonterías y llegue a ser uno de los hombres importantes de la selección absoluta en unos años.
