the dude is all hype? Seriously.....fuck Jennings, he sucks ass at the pointguard, and im sure Rubio has much higher potential. He thinks he's so boss because he has a cool hairstyle....pshh jennings will never be an allstar
The kid is really, really good. I never understood the animosity against European players by many NBA fans. He doesn't speak English? Give me a break! He's not a scorer and will not guarantee 20 points every game, but the kid is talented and reads the game as well as the best I've seen. I think he's going to be a star in Minnesota, and they have a pretty fun team to watch.
@sdbxnbbl91 Yeah but he averaged like 6.5 points a game in Spain. I'm sick of hearing about some overrated prospect every year before the draft and they suck like Greg Oden, Kwame Brown or Darko Milicic.
@sdbxnbbl91 oden doesn't suck at all. He's hurt all the time and thats the only reason people think he sucks. If or when he actually gets healthy he will be great.
Brandon Jennings fans...how quickly you forget how awful Jennings stats were in euro ball. More minutes and a more open game will suit Ricky just fine. Twolves have life again!!!
the stats of Jennings in europe weren't impressives at all but the point is that stats in europe are different because the game is different (only 10 minutes by quarter, more rotations, more deffensive games...)
This kid scored three triple-doubles, and one quadruple double during the olympics.... as a back-up. He's gonna make the T-wolves a playoff contender someday. I can't fucking wait.
@beefygreenapples During the Olympics? No, he didn't. Maybe he did in the U-16 European Championships in 2006? At least he had a quadruple double there and some triple-doubles...he averaged 23.3 points, 12.8 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 6.5 steals in that tournament.
I don't think that Rubio is starting to get bored of basketball. He said recently "basketball is my life, it's everything that I live for" so I think he's just tired physically and too presured. I mean, this is supposed to be his last year. After this season, he should go to the NBA (there's the lockout, though) Now Navarro and Mickeal are out, Barcelona is going through a bad patch and everybody expects him to lead the team all of a sudden. Remember he's 20.
i knew that you were not a rubio hater. i´m a fan of Rubio too, but i dont expect he becomes in a superstar,simply i just enjoy his game, the only thing i blame ricky is that he improved his ego and not his play. but i believe that he will recover one´s self-confidence. the guy is special
ppl should´ve realized that he has spent his teenage years playing pro basketball...since he was 15. three consecutive years playing summer international tourneys: 2008 olympics, 2009 europan, 2010 world championship..so he didnt rest. sincerely, if i was him i would be a little bored of basketball. i hope next year he join to the NBA, i believe his type of play will adapt better in NBA tha FIBA
@JohnBala78 I totally agree with you. But when you mentioned "If I was him I would probably be a little bored of basketball". Yes, he does have a tight sqedual and has to give 110% on every game, he's a pro and that is exactly what his trainers are expecting from him.
We are talking about a boy who started to throw a basketball when he was 3, there was a passion there from a early age. . . and if you have a passion to anything, you risk and sacrifices everything to be where you want to be:)
@TheRealCRACKHEAD "and if you have a passion to anything, you risk and sacrifices everything to be where you want to be" ... yes i agree with this sentence. but persons are not machines, of course i would love Pau gasol playin every years with national team and NBA, but i understood long time ago he has to sacrifice 1 thing to keep good performances.ppl sometimes have to disconnect from they want, not everything in the life is basketball, especially when you are 15-18 years old.
@JohnBala78 Of course they aren't machines, I totally agree! It's important to rest and relax, to be a work-machine could destroy your career. To rest helps your mentality (of course your physical part too) and players who knows how to take a rest, like Pau gets earned and will probably come back even stronger. Maybe Ricky haven't seen that logical part yet. . .:)
@TheRealCRACKHEAD the only logical that Rubio hasnt seen is the hype coming from American media and their crap comparisons. thx to that hype appeared the rubio´s haters. and those haters are under influence of media like a flock of sheep.
you can like his style or not, but if you are a hater only it means 1 thing: you are a tool.
@JohnBala78 Im a HUGE fan of Ricky! lol, I liked your opinions a lot. I wish Rubio all the best in the NBA if he's going. Cant wait to be a "part" of his career and watch him grow even more now!
As a fan of Rubio's, I must say he's playing horrible this year.... and I really hope this is not the end of this future legend since he was 14... now it's 20 and seems worst player than when he was 17.
Lol i wonder if Rubio is "Al hype" now?
