NBA Draft 2009 - First Round 5th Pick (Timberwolves) - Ricky Rubio

[chubbyjenks]

lol @ comments below. haters eating crow right now

[benjiboy1313]

haha how is everyone gonna hate on this pick when he hasn't even played yet? Rubio gets all the talk even though the wolves pick of flynn was much worse. And no one is talking about Memphis taking Thabeet #2. someone wanna tell me how many Nba games he's played in? and he's actually been in the country..

[TheAmar36]

this should be on fail blog

[APviKINGsz28]

what a terrible draft that year. I love how we pick rubio at 5 and flynn at 6 with steph curry (the only guy I really wanted) still on the board.

[karan6]

fuckin Hate European players I know there are a few decent ones but a majority of them are soft an flashy this kid aint getting no fuckin respect until he get his ass to the states an plays with the big boys

[mattdrummer34]

until he plays and proves he can score better in the NBA, its a kwame brown pick in my book

[ValenciaRule]

Nothing against Rubio, he's a great talent. But he shouldn't be allowed to jerk around the TWolves like this, it's not even certain he will come the the NBA this year, and what has his team gotten for their 5th pick? Nothing. In the future I would like to see the NBA ban players from Europe doing this, if you don't think your ready for the NBA then dont nominate for the draft, it's that simple. If you get drafted and then high tail it back to Europe you should be banned from the NBA for life.

[nixdaduda11]

worst top ten pick ever!

[vcownzraptors]

@nixdaduda11 ??????? lol he hasnt even played in the nba yet how is he a bust

[nixdaduda11]

@vcownzraptors trust me im from europe i watch this guy every week. the nba ( t-wolves ) will be very dissapointed with him !!!! he is only a good passer thats it ......

[blackjack399]

Do some research before you speculate. The kid already has played against the best of the best of the NBA and still got a silver medal. The kid is 19yrs old and has potential to become great in the NBA. Rubio is a great player after seeing him play against the US all star team in Olympics. But he is still too young and needs to get stronger physically. Every player has some flaws, that's why they work on the things that they are not good at. And saying he'll be the next Darko is asinine.

[statusmvp01]

they took rubio and then flynn....thats pretty stupid...two Point guards back to back

[ErnestoCaro84]

ricky rubio cuando vaya pa la nba lo ke tiene ke ser es mas egoista y jugarsela mas el solo europa es diferente juegans mas en ekipo en la nba y sobretodo la posicion de center tienes ke ser mas anotador,aunke hay ke estar claro ke las asistencias y los robos de balones puede hacer mucho daño

[u2v3e]

2.08 qué crack!

[ripmj2123]

lol it said outside shooter and he missed. hes gonna be a crazy player!

[CWei917]

the timbervolves should get a shooting guard or sumthing rather than drafting 2 point guards positions......now maybe rubio's going back to spain maybe because he did not like the the 2 point guard draft...  T.T

[teske370]

3:35 LOL

[EbDrKkz]

dammit. i want curry..he can shoot better than rubio. tho rubio has mad passing skills

[blacksmith84]

How is it a wasted pick if he doesnt come right away? they still own his rights for 4 years. I doubt he stays overseas for more than a year if he even does.

[FishKing30]

Think of it though even though he's signed for 4 more years he will only be 22

[FishKing30]

sorry meant that comment for rapfan93

[rapsfan93]

They should of went with Stephen Curry. Their is no point drafting two point guards. Plus Ricky might not even play with the Timber wolves this year because he is thinking of staying with the national team for one or two years. Minnesota wasted their 5th pick.

[WWH7]

Stephen Curry will be playing point guard, Ricky is a better point guard than Curry.

@WWH7

great prediction nostradamus.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 Wow, replying to a comment that's 10 months old, you must have a great life, genius.

[saiyan4321]

@WWH7 well at least you predicted that one correctly nostradamus. cause your right i do have a great life. your not at all broken.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 So I was wrong about the genius part heh? Apparently if you thought I was being realistic about your life, then I see no hope for you. Your ignorance continues to shine brightly, replying on a 10 month old post. You don't have to be Nostradamus to realize your stupidity, and what a pathetic life you must have. And this is not a prediction, but based on your comment, you need a life.

[saiyan4321]

@WWH7 your the kind of person full of hate, aren't you? and someone who cannot accept his mistakes. not enough attention given to you when you were a child (or are you still a kid)? i pity your soul. don't worry i'll pray for you. making a big deal about this whole nostradamus thing shows the kind of character that you possess. replying after 10 months and being correct is a tad better than predicting the day of the draft and being wrong. tell's you who's stupid now, huh.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 "Pray for me? lol You're the one whose a little brat that replied to a 10 month old comment, talk about wanting attention. What you need to do is get off of Nostradamus dick, you're so up his dick that it has made you look like a moron. I feel sorry for you, you must have lived a life of loneliness that you stir up conflicts in youtube just to have attention ha. You are the pure definition of a internet TROLL. Get a life loser, cause you've embarrassed yourself to the extreme.

[saiyan4321]

@WWH7 oh oh!!! i can see fumes coming out of your nose and ears. relax kiddo don't get a heart attack because you stupidly failed. try predicting again this coming draft, maybe you'll be lucky enough to get it right. but this time try to use your gray matter a little bit, it doesn't hurt to flex your brain once in a while, hehehehehe. also, don't copy someone else post or it will show your true ignorance on the subject. and make use of your own advise about getting a life, you sure need one.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 Copy someone else post, LMAO, wow now you've gone completely delusional. Copy how?. How about you come up with new material and actually have a plausible argument, you little moron. Since you've displayed your stupidity for ever one to see, here is another one, I've never predicted the draft you lowlife scum haha, I said that Ricky was a better point guard, so hows that predicting the draft? hahahah, you've been replying to me for all the wrong reasons, WOW such stupidity I fell bad

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 I've said that Ricky is a better point guard than Curry, I've even backed everything up with statics. You know it won't hurt if you actually bothered to do some research and get a little education, enough to have some common sense. Expand whatever knowledge you might have, go out and experience new things, cause you are so lost. So, try not using my arguments if you do come back, and if you are properly show that it came from me, and do try to come up with plausible arguments hahaha

[WWH7]

You've vigorously failed of providing any arguments to my first comment. I find it so funny that you continue to show your ignorance in here. And and if you do come back, you might want to stay away from your obsession with Nostradamus, I've provided facts, and here's another one, you're a complete loser, that I base it on your pathetic attempt of trying to start something without nothing. "flex your brain" take your own advise, because you have not shown any.

[saiyan4321]

@WWH7 averaging 4 assist a game can hardly be called a team player. averaging less than 7 pts. a game can hardly be called a basketball player. and all that in the amateurs, search his stats. did you ever come to think that all of this bronze medal he got is because of his teammates and not because of him.

[saiyan4321]

@WWH7 at the same time compare that with stephen curry's stats in the nba, the big man's league. "flex your brain" take your own advise, you just copied what i typed before. you should learn how to read and comprehend kid. again your brain is in your head for a reason, for you to use it, not to bang it. your probably in college already and yet you still don't know how to read properly. what a waste of human life. stop copying other peoples post.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 HAHAHAHA oh my god. First, I QUOTED what you said, you fucking moron, meaning it's not my words, It's apparent that you have no fucking clue whatsoever, please, and here's the quote "flex your brain" use your advice lol. Again how am I coping you poor little child, all of my ARGUMENTS have been mine, but it must be your smokescreen, nice try. And stop using my arguments of how a worthless scum you must be, make your own arguments, and if you're using mine, quote it little moron ha.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 States don't matter if you don't have championships to go with that, and any basketball play would tell you that same thing, especially Barkley. What has Curry accomplish that Ricky has not? Ricky has won championships since he was extremely young, winning a silver medal in the olympics, winning the Eruo champion many times, winning the finials MVP It takes a great point guard to help his team all around. Again, what has curry won, does he have an rings? So, do some research, moron

[saiyan4321]

@WWH7 rubio will be the next darko milicic, or marco belinelli in the nba. another european wannabe basketball player. and with your foul mouth i can see why your parent's would ignore you. probably loved your other siblings and you left all alone in the corner. poor kid.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 So, It YOU must feel STUPID for arguing with me because you thought that I was "predicting" the draft LMAO. What education do you get, because you were not able to understand my first comment, and that is pathetic. Ricky is regarded as the next Nash or Kid. Just because a player comes oversea does not mean he does not have what it takes. For example, Manu Ginóbili, Yao Ming, Tony Parker, and Dirk Nowitzki, just to name a few. You must be a biased person, this explains your hatred.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 You said "rubio will be the next darko milicic" lol wrong prediction nostradamus. You see, if you knew anything about basketball, you'd know that it takes the whole team to win a championship, not an individual, if that were true, then Lebron would have won that champion ship against the spurs, but he lost four in row. Moreover, Kevin Durant won the scoring champion avg 29.9, so did he win the title NO, got taken out by LA. So, little brat, there goes your whole pathetic attempt.

[WWH7]

Your basic feckless argument is that Ricky is a euro player, meaning he must suck at basketball, some biased views, your parents raised you the wrong way, or maybe they just don't give a damn about you. Well, you could always make an imaginary friend hah. You've got nothing kid, but a whole lot of stupidity, get your act together because in the long run, you'll seriously might have some serious problems. You were wrong in the fist place, acknowledge that, it just might help your sorry ass heh.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 "Mistake" The only mistake that was made was you. My first comment, which is 10 months old, was that Ricky was a better point guard than Curry, that was not a prediction you idiot, its fact. Because I'm arguing a little brat, I'll post some info. Ricky is a team player that looks out for his team. He won the FIBA euro cup 06, 3 time FIBA young player of the year, Bronze medal 05, Gold 06, MVP 06, Olympics silver 08, FIBA Euro Champ Gold medal 09, and just won the European title.

[saiyan4321]

@WWH7 sure great stats for an amateur.

[WWH7]

@saiyan4321 So little brat, what does Curry have on Ricky. Hows that for "prediction." Being correct is a good thing, being wrong (you) is not that bad, learn from your mistakes and don't start up shit that you have no clue or plausible argument for it. Now take this as a lesson, accept your stupidity and being wrong, and learn from it kid, and get a life. I've just about had enough of your ignorance.
