i read this earlier today

The Works: Ricky Rubio Gag Order; Coach K Reignites Cold War -- NBA FanHouse

Compliments: Ricky Rubio is one of the most talked-about prospects in the known universe. And yes, an awful lot of that talk consists of being told that we can't talk about Ricky Rubio.

So let's not talk about what Rubio did (or didn't) do in Spain's loss to Serbia on Wednesday. It took a last-second three to send the defending FIBA champs home. Unrelatedly, Ricky Rubio played 26 minutes, going 1 for 4 from the floor. That lone make was one of his two 3-point attempts. He also chipped in three boards, three assists and two steals, while turning the ball over twice

is it just me or does ricky rubio remind anyone else of a 33 year old jason kidd. good passer, very intelligent basketball player who has absolutely no athleticism nor an ability to score.

Until he brings his play into the NBA, I really don't think I can take him seriously. Great prospect or not, he's irrelevant until he steps onto an NBA court.

He's more of a "White Chocolate" from the And-1 Mix Tapes than a true NBA athlete.

He has great handling ability and passing ability,but he has little to no ability athletically and he isnt a consistent major scorer.....

hes a lil baby. didnt get drafted by ny, all of a sudden wants to play some more in europe. despite saying hed play for free. he can stay in europe for all i care

I don't think he will have a problem in the NBA game, after seeing how he embarrassed Jason Kidd in the 2008 Summer Olympic Gold Medal Game.

But we'll see. I think he's a baby, but to be fair a lot of 17 year-olds who get drafted to the NBA are babies. He'll mature at least somewhat.

Agreed. It will be one of those stories of the what if he came here stuff down the road some years ahead if he doesn't come here.

LOL you're right, I was going for "The Professor" and not "White Chocolate" Jason Williams. Either way, still way overrated.
