[wingggmannn]

Rubio > Lin

[BlackStarKeepShining]

I tell ya.... Give this team time to develop.... And they will be playoff contenders in the future. LOTS of tallent on this young T.Wolves team.

[MrNzst]

LOL RUBIO CANT SHOOT

[BlackStarKeepShining]

@MrNzst Too bad he's better then you and all your friends put together..... He's still a rookie, and look what he's doing.

[tylerfitchett10]

3:12 the score goes from 69-53 to 71-69... wtf

[tylerfitchett10]

anyone notice the girl in the background who screams after every basket?

[stefanotvchannel]

who's better ? rubio or lin ?

[mlup77]

@stefanotvchannel Lin is a better shooter, rubio is a better passer, and could steal the ball more. I think it is 50 - 50

[enriqueescuer]

@thebcat000012 your retarded man! u just say that cuz of the hair and cuz u have nothing to do that say bullshit about the people you wish u have been in this life! son of a bastard

[Brandon2912]

[SmiffyChannel]

@Brandon2912 yeah honestly what the fuck

[TheBcat000012]

Ricky Rubio...the Spanish Justin Beiber

[lasoogneypubes]

@TheBcat000012 ?? You're an idiot.. STILL making Justin Bieber jokes and not even that well..

[CrazyAce381]

Does this screaming lady in the crowd go to every timberwolves game?

[bguguen]

Is it just me or am i the only one hearing a loud bitch shouting every time Minnesota scores?? Somebody got to shut that bitch up!!

[dancemonkey1313]

does anyone notice that when ever rubio scores there is a high pitched sequel?

[mfors704]

Doesnt Rubio realize he can take 5 steps in the NBA and not be called for it?

[krnbombboi]

Jeremy Lin is better

[iarmdiPKvids]

@krnbombboi stfu hes may be good but they are about even. stop being a band wagoner

[rastafaribdjsm]

@krnbombboi Rubio is still 21 when Lin was 21 he was in Harvard playing average/good

[AphoticMist]

i swear to god he looks way too fucking chill

[kalashnikovIII]

LOL 4:30 the faces on the Hawks bech when Rubio knocks down the three-pointer XD

[AwfulXXXNoob]

huh lol at first there was no one in the center but then 4:02 where did the people come from?

[ericdaiinau]

energetic yeahhhhhhhhh woman

[danielstar98]

You guys hear that lady screaming whenever they make a shot?

[captainSMOOVE]

[crayyawn]

[KSizbored4life]

wow... atlanta has the worst court atmosphere ever.... its a home game for them and half the seats are empty and they cheer more for rubio then their own team..

[AwfulXXXNoob]

@KSizbored4life ur damn right

[oniremzemog]

Magic RIcky

[VIVAELLCHEE1967]

@oniremzemog More Pisto Ricky LOL

[foleyisthename]

Gotta hand it to the girl, she lasted the whole game cheering on her team without gettin' popped by a Hawks fan!

Sadly, shortly after the game she had lost the ability to speak, permanently. Hurray!

[DonCorleone87]

it's awfully lonely in the crowd.

[murphy3162]

@DonCorleone87 Southerners don't really care about basketball. They mostly watch handegg.

[bobbayy23]

watch a wolves game. rubio has great on ball and off ball defense. his steals 2.1 a game.

[bobbayy23]

ricky of the year. if he doesnt get it then the nba is stupid. this is kid is gonna be something special. only 21 years old. imagine if he was on a better team this guys stats would blow up

[snkhuong]

did they win

[MrTurkishblue]

Sick of people comparing Ricky to Nash. Ricky Rubio is the new, first and only Ricky Rubio. Despite that, I believe Rubio´s gamestyle is more similar to John Stockton´s than to Steve Nash´s. Nash is 1 of the best passers today, but he´s also a very good shooter. Rubio plays more like Stockton in two aspects... Both have a great vision of the game, amazing assists, but also very good defenders... Nash not so good defending but better shooter.

[Allejoykoko]

rookie of the year :)

[TheJoker0006]

Rubio will be the future Stockton!:D

[ItsNigelBows]

omg slut screaming at every basket SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!

[gabrielxl]

Color me converted! This is how a point guard is supposed to play.

[myname12320]

rubio=new star

[Theiosac]

i

love

him

[luminator1234]

that stupid woman i hear screeching after every play in this video.......

[9nezz2]

next steve nash !

[018Bruno]

thumbs me up if you think Rubio will be the next white super passer, taking Nash job when he retires!

[ToNGanStuNNa650]

@018Bruno ricky rubio is Spanish? from Spain?

[EAG0917]

Everyone says im crazy when i say this but Dwight should consider going to Minnesota, a future point guard in Rubio, a 2 guard in Wesley Johnson, SF in Derrick Williams and an all star power forward in Love, it will be a rap for years to come, Im a magic fan and I say going to the wolves would be a great move

[juicemdog223]

@EAG0917 wooow, i wouldn't even have thought of that but that would be great for Dwight and Minnesota

[NickEagles24]

@EAG0917 Why would he go to Minnesota, it's a small market, and cities like LA, NY, Orlando, Miami etc attract NBA super-stars because they're big market cities.

[FlamAble94]

@NickEagles24 Making a franchise real big wouldn't hurt, would it?

[ronaldinhose96]

@EAG0917 that team would be great but Dwight would never get the media attention that he would want in Minnesota

[lasoogneypubes]

@EAG0917 But who would they trade for? Or does Minnesota have enough cap space to sign him?

[Zantrap]

@EAG0917 Yea but Kevin Love and Dwight Howard on the PF and C is bad chemistry i think.. Both needs to get their 15 boards per game to score and they won't get that if Dwight goes to Wolves.

[dnzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

@EAG0917 lol Love and Howard would hog for Rebounds, so idk about that

[alextong22]

@EAG0917 And what are they going to give up to get Howard? With the line up you say they can have, Orlando will not get any useful players back.

[MHSindians96]

his behind the back is pretty lame

[MHSindians96]

who is that annoying chick who f'n screams after every shot?

[ramratnosmart]

PG doesn't need to make a higher scores than teammates. So, Rubio's needs to create a chance for teammates. Even sometimes he had a chance to make a shot, he didn't. I think he has done a good job for his position.

[snrksnrk777]

I am honestly surprised at how well he has adapted to the NBA. NBA teams I guess you should also try signing diamantidis. He's a better passer shooter and play maker though not that good at stealing the ball and much less athletic and coordinated than rubio, but it now seems this sort of thing can survive in the nba.

[chinafriends]

why cant young point guards be like Ricky Rubio? pass first

[Pikagasm]

lolol that place is PACKED

[ReXaNaTer205]

does any one here the whale calls in the background

[teogeorgo]

if ricky rubio pass so well in nba instead he did in europe i dont want to imagine what diamantides could do there.i respect rubio ofc

[xxSAGACITYxx]

I think Rubio is great and he makes his teammates better. Reminds me when Nash turned Diaw into an Allstar Snub from being an IR guy. I think Rubio will really impact Wayne Ellingtons game in the same way. Look for him to really play alot better and add a little swag in his step this year. Good PGs like this should be the norm. Everyone else should play wing or post. Just saying

[lxbombers]

Anyone notice the woman that screams every time someone scores?

[DonCorleone87]

@lxbombers it's so annoying

[sj0307]

@lxbombers I thought that was meant to be a Hawk screeching or something lol

[lxbombers]

@sj0307 If that's intentional then no wonder the stadium is empty. It's annoying as hell

[9nezz2]

@lxbombers LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hell yea man !



[Fripitto]

@lxbombers Just imagine sitting next to her. For the rest of the season...

[jaredleiferman]

@lxbombers yeah, she can't believe the T-wolves are scoring!!haha

[DontTakeCrack]

@lxbombers my mom does that at home lol

[Finnthebong]

@lxbombers hahahaha

[raytsaichannel]

I think rubio can be more offensive and shoot the ball more

than thinking more about passing out

if he does that he will be a greater threat to the defense 

[xxSAGACITYxx]

@raytsaichannel You might be right about that. He has some good weapons around him that can shoot this season but your right if he develops that part of his game skys the limit

[raytsaichannel]

@xxSAGACITYxx I was just was thinking if his teammates are not having a good shooting game, he'll be able to step up and be offensive, which makes him more versatile

[azndude8888]

the hawks bench at the end of the video pretty much sums it up.

[flood123123123]

why there is always a bitch screaming after wolves score?

[newxuser]

@flood123123123 omfg seriously

[fdsjlaf]

Whoever dislikes this vid is a flat out hater

[Miguelo4001]

THAT its a pointguard

[timykaien]

closest thing to nash...

[o0xst]

what is the deal with that dumb boob lady that keeps yelling after every basket??!?!?

[jovicespanol]

Love-Rubio is the next Malone-Stockton

[whospanic]

@jovicespanol Doubt it

[fabileesh]

@jovicespanol that would be cool to see, but i honestly don't think love is as beastly as malone

[cloudstrife1288]

Lol does anybody else here the same random woman shrieking every time the wolves score?

[jpoynter9119]

I won't say that watching team basketball is funner than 1 on 1 basketball. They both have their positives from a viewer's standpoint. Rose is just as much fun to watch spinning through the lane as Rubio is whipping a pass to a wide open dunker. However, I DO think the comparisons to Nash are valid. Kidd was a great passer, but he wasn't quite the creative whiz Rube and Nash are. He combined Rose's driving power with the passing of, say Stockton. Plus, Kidd wasn't the best shooter, like R and N.

[jan279]

Don't know why people are always comparing Rubio to Nash. He's lookin' more like Jason Kidd to me than Nash as he plays great defense, unlike Nash whose defense is mediocre.

[shihoate]

The dude is beast.

[TheChaesonian]

Rubio is making critics look like fools, myself included.

[Jthree47693]

Rubio is already establishing himself as an elite point guard, the way he finds open teammates is absolutely ridiculous, I love watching this guy play

[Siscast]

Rubio reminds me of Chris Paul's game

[jvkchannel]

what the FUCK is that sound after every basket ??

[jin69]

the next kidd and nash!!

[wilzusuki]

FUCK NAS RUBIO IS THE NEXT PISTOL PETE

[mannyboy922010]

The next Steve Nash

[profamexx1]

raw passes need to work on drive but nice jump shoot euro player style is smart and quick

[RuneMacer55]

Rubio is a boss. Minnesota is probally happy they waited 2 years till they could actually play him.

[charlesHBKWWE]

who won the game?

[TampaBayRays9]

Rubio = Ice cold

[SUCEDIOENMADR1D]

Los gringos estan flipando con Ricky Rubio

[xapepe8]

wow.. what this man is doing is incredible.

[jaydarenegade]

Rubio is more clutch than Lebron

[DonnnieSexylano]

ricky rubo = next steve nash!

[CARLOSGURO]

Ricky Rubio will be the best passer in NBA, perhaps hes yet the best, hes better than Nash was in his 21, is strange he shoot better under presure, this mean he could be a great shooter

[GaTech1145]

@CARLOSGURO pete maravich? John Stockton?

[ninjavocado]

@CARLOSGURO Nash is a wine player, he was better around his older years than he was compared to his younger years but i gotta admit rubio is really nash-y in terms of style but i still pick nash over rubio in terms of passing and scoring. Rubio will be an all star and i hope he wins rookie of the year. He deserves it more than anyone else this season in my opinion.

[murphy3162]

@CARLOSGURO To be fair Nash was coming off the bench and never had the chance to shine while the Timberwolves are such a fucking terrible team that Rubio was able to get more minutes and the starter position almost immediately.

If Nash was starting his rookie year he'd be doing just as well if not better than Rubio is right now.

[lottomatico]

@murphy3162 talking bout bold statements :)

[esTebanLRD]

@murphy3162 Nash improved his basketball training, Nash didn´t had the level of Rubio,Rubio play profesionaly since his 14 years old, is a genius and champion with spain have a silver medal too...maybe rubio never shoot like Nash but he can assist like Nash and his defense is better.

[murphy3162]

@esTebanLRD Uh I'm guessing you're from Spain which explains your slobbering all over Rubio's knob, so instead of launching into a rant about how you're completely fucking wrong about Nash I'm just going to say enjoy watching Spain get the living shit kicked out of it again by the US men's Olympic basketball team

[esTebanLRD]

@murphy3162 ....USA won the gold with the help of referees...travel every time, and was a equilibrated game.I´m not from Spain, I´m from Barcelona, you need learn about the difference.

[murphy3162]

@esTebanLRD Oh my God, you're the worst kind of fan, the one that just loves his team so much that he can't accept that there are better teams out there.

And no there isn't a difference between Spain and Barcelona, deal with it.

[esTebanLRD]

@murphy3162 bla bla bla.

[TheNoReAs0N]

@murphy3162 barcelona wasnt always spain kid.. barcelona was and is catalonia :P

[toni007bond]

@TheNoReAs0N jajajaj , so funny ...

[murphy3162]

@TheNoReAs0N I think it's funny how you call me kid, since outside of Europe no child in the world has a fucking clue what Barcelona even is. That's something you learn about when you're an adult and start learning about other nations than your own.

At any rate, they don't call it Barcelonish, they call it Spanish, so fuck yourself.

[foleyisthename]

@murphy3162 More like Catalan...get down off yer high horse lad.

[murphy3162]

@foleyisthename What high horse? You're implying I've said something that isn't true.

[kutnoSJ12]

@CARLOSGURO

He will never be better than Nash, you'll see.:)

[stygianmessiah]

@CARLOSGURO true hes not a good shooter naturally but can make shots under pressure lol

[MrTMGolf88]

@CARLOSGURO I agree..I saw a video of best NBA passers and Rubio only got "Honorable Mention" I laughed! Rubio is the BEST HANDS DOWN!!!

[alexblack300]

and he only going to get better in the nba

[ImSoPeeved]

I'm not much of a fan of Rubio, but Love is a beast. Numerically, he is a better center/PF than Dwight Howard. It's a shame over half the seats are empty.

[SecGohan]

I dont like when people say " YYY, the 2nd comming off XXX.." Each player marks the game differently. He will mark NBA as Ricky Rubio .

[SuckMyDick928]

Thought he was a bad shooter?

[TheApols]

his game is fun to watch.

[karan6]

Once Rubio an Derrick become comfortable with one another they are gonna be a pretty deadly combo throw Kevin Love into that mix you got a pretty good team in a few years

[ajb77]

everytime rubio makes a play, bambi dies....at least at this game

[tsobasketball22]

Boston got RR9, Rajon Rondo

Minnesota got another RR9, Ricky Rubio

[MegaXcuseMe]

idk if you guys notice but everytime Rubio scores or makes an assists a lady experience extreme orgasm.

[mjking099]

but not rubio

[mjking099]

am i the only one who thinks rondo is a better playmaker than rose wall or westbrook

[BalldinhoVanessa]

Derrick Rose plays like Stephon Marbury ... Rubio plays like Steve Nash

[jml235]

Also, I've never seen Rose make an alley-oop while penetrating. It's sick how Rubio can be driving to the basketball with his right, but still get the timing right on an alley-oop. That is so absurdly hard to do.

[jml235]

Rubio makes each of his teammates a viable threat to score. Rose uses his teammates as a secondary weapon after he's failed to penetrate. So while Rose is unequivocally the better scorer, Rubio brings the absolute best out of his teammates. Honestly, I wish there were more players like Ricky Rubio. He makes basketball a team game, and it's so much more to watch intelligent basketball on display.

[tsobasketball22]

@jml235 totally agree with yo! basketball is a team-oriented sport, isnt it

[pac6010]

@jml235 I suggest you should maybe watch a bulls game and hear what his coaches have to say about him. Rose not only runs the Chicago offense but he leads the team in both assists and scoring. Hes not this shoot first pass last player you make him out to be, hes always looking for his team mates and makes sure everyone gets involved just like Rubio. He sees the floor and can pass very well just like Rubio.

[jml235]

@pac6010 Dude, I love the Bulls and I want to agree with you, but I can't. Rose has awesome defense, awesome ability to penetrate. He is NOT a pass-first point guard. Don't listen to the coaches, trust your eyeballs. Every time he penetrates, 2 (sometimes 3!) people collapse on him, and he makes an acrobatic lay-up. Look around him, there's usually at least 1 guy standing right underneath the basket. Rubio makes that pass, Rose only does it if he thinks he's going to miss.

[pac6010]

@jml235 I can totally understand why you say that because that was his M.O. last year, mostly because everyone was injured. Watch this season at how hes playing though, hes making an effort to get everyone involved, especially boozer on the pick and roll. Plus hes added a killer 3 point game which means you can't play back off him, you have to double team. Hes still likes to drive, now he just kicks it out or makes an interior pass. Btw he averages 8.3 assets per game for his career

[jml235]

@pac6010 Fair enough, I have been judging him more from last season, haven't really paid attention to this season since it started late. I'll keep an open eye for those Rose passes.

[violinstupid]

@pac6010 kewl

[CARLOSGURO]

@jml235 This happen because european basket is diifferent to american basket, Ricky Rubio is the example of european basketball, Derrick Rose is the example of american basketball

[Nikoh04]

@jml235 a john stockton of this time and era, except rubio is a lil more flashy but definitely a pass first point guard

[batangmahiligsaturon]

@jml235 I'm a fan of both and I think it's a little off/unfair to compare the two players based on their positions (pg) alone.

Rose = scoring PG and Rubio = pass first PG.

Rose tends to concentrate more on scoring bec. he is the first option for the Bulls' offense. Coaches take advantages of their players' strengths and make plays out of it.

It's the coaches plays that mostly molds a player into his type of game. Rose was asked to score more and Rubio to distribute.

[shad0w12346]

@jml235

Rose and Rubio are two COMPLETELY different players, their only similarity is the PG position. Not really even fair to compare em. Rubio is pass first cause he can make those amazing passes, DRose is score first because he is unstoppable when he gets into the paint, D Rose will either score or get the foul in there.

[murphy3162]

@shad0w12346 yeah but because of a point guard's job to be to run the offense, Rose seems like he'd be more at home in the 2 spot rather than playing the 1. Rose doesn't seem to get his teammates involved that much or run the offense as well as he should because his first thought is scoring. He's a lot like Kobe in that regard.

[esTebanLRD]

@shad0w12346 Rose is a combo guard is easy.

[jml235]

Not all passes are created equal, gentlemen. What makes Ricky Rubio better than D.Rose and Westbrook isn't how he's getting it to them, (which is still fun to watch, btw), it's that he gets the ball to them where they can take a high percentage shot. You know the percentage shot of an alley oop? It's like 99% if you put it in the right place.

Another thing is where where Rubio's passes hits his teammates low and by the waist so they can take a quick shot. D.Rose does not do this.

[Areef41]

IDOL?????



[jayp3432]

rookie of the year? i think so...

[ChristMelee]

did they win

[SDSOverfiend]

This kid rubio is everything you can want in a guard... He passes on time and he get others involved and scores when needed.

[WILDWAYNE001]

LOLING At that girls scream after they score.

[Darkelf95]

Minnesota is a strong young team, they are just inexperienced

[BigRay627]

Thats not a lady screaming..... thats a 6'4 300 pound black man

[lasoogneypubes]

That's two three pointers he's made to tie the game in the clutch.

[greekosdarkness]

look at 1:30, thats the moment when Rubio became god.

[greekosdarkness]

@greekosdarkness sorry look at 1:26

[ImOneUp]

people forget he been playing pro since he was 14

[KSizbored4life]

there is absolutely NO ONE in this arena

[TheMando1104]

ricky of the year

[shohokuslamdunk]

i had to admit i thought he was all hype before he showed up in the league. the kid is an amazing passer. all he needs right now is the ability to knock down outside shots consistently and to lock down other guards on the perimeter. the later might be the greatest challenge for him because he's not the most athletic.

[BeepimajeepBeep]

@shohokuslamdunk his release is very slow, so if he could improve that then he'd be real good.

[grigorisbla]

rubio is great in defense is assists.. but not in scoring he can shoot.. i am from spain.. i hace see nhim many times...

[MultiEspreso]

@grigorisbla yeah......i agree?(go learn learn some english dude) btw RUBIO AMAZING
