Its incredible to see how Spain have developed in sports, first they won the FIBA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2006, WON THE SILVER MEDAL IN 2008 OLYMPICS AND NOW THEY WIN THE WORLD CUP IN SOUTHAFRICA SOCCER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP...THEY ARE GREAT!!! LOVE SPAIN..
lol ricky needs to leave his shitty country and come to NBA, he'll have a chance to get better and better, because he'll have better teammates, as you saw in this video, his teammate center couldn't catch the ball...
yeah the Spanish wish it was FIFA. they'd actually be good at it! seriously....if the FIBA wanted to even beat the worst NBA team, they would need to put together every single star of their league onto an all-star team. then they would have a chance.
Rubio is a bust. he won't be an NBA starter..and if he is it won't be for long
@mariofan38 where was Rubio when Spain was getting raped by the USA by 37? and how is Spain being the 3rd best team a valid argument for Rubio being an NBA star? fact of the matter is...it's really USA #1 then everybody else. in Europe, he's #1. in the US, he wouldn't even be ranked. if the Spanish national team played an NBA team, that could be a competitive game. but that's it.
The Lakers and Clippers both played Barcelona last year, and neither team beat Barcelona by more than five. Although, I doubt the Lakers or Clippers played their starters the entire game, it shows to me that the NATIONAL TEAM could compete with and beat any team in the NBA.
I won't judge Rubio until he competes with some NBA stars.
@mariofan38 I understand your enthusiasm, and Spain is good by European standards, but getting beat in an off season game by the CLIPPERS? hahaha Come on, man.
Here's a better analysis of the medal game with spain and the USA and *why* they only lost by 11 instead of 37 like the previous game. watch?v=u_znTKoTkHQ
@eKriZZLe Absolutely correct. Rubio would have gotten destroyed by the athleticism of NBA guards. He might have made it a few games, but he wouldn't have been able to hang for a whole season.
Not much to say about this kid, GB is too weak, thus anybody can put out good numbers. Saw a glimpse of Rick playing against USA last Olympic in China. Not bad, imo.
This young man can play. Outside of a young Jason Kidd, I've NEVER seen anyone rip people off the dribble like Ricky Rubio has. AND he's getting a shot? And he's growing facial hair? Uh-0H.
Check Ricky Rubio mix (6:33) and exlain-me "who and when"have assisted better than Ricky in NBA and with his age?.
Why the Barcelona paid 3,5 million Euros to get his rights yesterday?Is the biggest amount of money paid for a european basketball player in the history.
Prepare dollars if you want to see him in NBA in two or tree years.
ALRIGHT a NEW highlight on RICKY, Yeah, I'll be checking this out for awhile. I play street ball every evening, rain, sunshine, hard fouls on concrete, clothes lines, against Negros, Mexicans, Native Americans, Spanish, Whites, Oilfield and Powerplant workers. We all get along on the concrete court. Sometimes there are over 50 players waiting for NEXT. Yeah, on Sundays. Brookside Park. Sometimes it is Bloody.
sacramento is ignant for not taking this guy in the draft and not just because he is a great player but also because there is a huge latin community in the california area and the golden boy out of spain would've sold a lot of tickets. too bad they're now stuck with steve francis light
umm.. any real bball fans on hea.. seriously what do u see das so amazing, a few steals a few right decisions... compare his game to Johnny Flynns, please cuz i have no idea what the hype of this guy is. NBA is ATHLETICISM few players get away with out this nowa days n their usually jus pure shooters such as the Stojakovic's. But at the PG position to compare him to Chris Paul or BDavis even, i honestly don't see him having an impact to turn a team into a playoff contention team.. any takers?
S. Nash is athleticism? 2 times MVP. Ricky is improving as nobody the skills that only magicians have. There's a lot of bunch players as Flynn but Ricky is unique. He is special. Ask Kidd, Kobe or CP3 how he plays, they now better than you. Check the match vs Russia in european junior final. 51 points, 24 reb, 12 asis y 7 steals and a buzzer beater from half court for the win. He is pure showtime, great defender and a privilage mind to read the plays before other players 10 years older.
Nash hell yah compared to Ricky. Nash could play pro soccer if he wanted to com on mang. Sorry but a 2 sport pro to me is atheletiscism. , but can u seriously see him guarding Derrick Rose? Can u see him taking Rose to the hole? Das jus ma point. Euroleauge he might have that vision but NBA is a mano e mano league. n das wen his athleticism comes to question. will he be able to transfer his ability to the nba style of game? u can have the skills but u got the tools to bring that style of play
i wish the best of dude too but the only euros' that actually lived up to the hype is Ginobli and Nowitz.. Marko has yet to proven himself, after vince dunked on dude (u know who) dude was no where to be found. At the pG position in the league, it's like the fuggin QB of the squad. Com' on John Wall is the next D Rose too das a whole notha topic tho. Rubios shot is horrendous which is another reason hes gonna crap out.. he's still young tho so we'll see wus good.
I have seen him guarding Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Jason kidd if you have only NBA on your mind. 6 points, 3 steals, 3 asists and 6 rebounds. Not bad for a 17 years old against the redeamteam.
And you can check his last game against Lithuania a few days ago and after that talk about his "horrendous shoot". I think bulaia you don't have any idea of basketball, you just know about NBA. And I love to see NBA but you should have to respect more the non NBA basketball.
Check Ricky Rubio Mix (9:58) and if you still thinking he is not special, you are blind man!
And he is playing against real players (national teams, euroleague and second best league in the world) not players from the university. On this videos he had 15, 16 or 17 years old.
Check what kind of problems defending CP3 or attacking Jason Kidd!
Athleticism!!! Ask Howard about the defense of Pau Gasol on the finals. Brain sometimes is more important than muscle!
Man get your fat straight before talking, you are only showing how poor your basketball (and worse, your NBA) knowledge is. Gino is argentinian, Gasol, Calderón, Rudy F., Parker, Batum as present Eureopean players doing well in NBA... some (as Rudy Fernandez 3 pointers as rookie) with some all time reccord in NBA.
He tries to be a bit too fancy at times, but the way he sees the court at such a young age is unbelievable. And if you saw him in the Olympics against team USA, he held his own against the likes of Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Jason Kidd. To be on the biggest stage agaisnt the best point guards in the world, and almost come up with the victory is truly remarkable. Ricky Rubio makes his teammates better, gets them easier shots and is a really good and annoying defender.
I think Ricky will enjoy playing in Minnesota more than here - guys like Al Jefferson and Wayne Ellington aren't gonna mess up his highlights - they can put the ball in the hole.
I'm English and had no fucking idea we have a basketball team....LOL We should just stick to what were good at, FOOTBALL !
