Going off the reliability of the reporting we had during Rubio Saga 1.0 the amount of faith I have in European sports reporting is similar to the Wolves Lottery luck.

Is not about faith, is about the new type echonomic system. if rubio is able to earn a similar amount of money in spain, he will leave it just for Chicago New York LA Boston and big cities like that.
but there is changing something in the americans player to. the face that mayo did two years ago is quite going with my opinion. the first picks in the draft are biased. they don't understand that Wolves are paying millions for you, they just want more hype sun and bi***es

Yeah yeah yeah. I heard all about this last summer. Remember this, RICKY entered the draft and was at the Lottery. If all he wanted to do was layout on the Mediterranean coast why did he do that?

Ricky is similar to Yao in that he is a world wide star. How has being stuck in Houston hindered Yao's WW fame and marketing. I've seen him on plenty of Visa ads.

Reports of the NBA being dead are premature.

Good Rubio video:

Nice find. RJD2 at 5:45, woohoo!

This should be on on the twb front page.

Home Is Where The Heart Is

I didn't realize that people was still wanting this guy to come to Minn. I mean how long are we really gonna wait for someone that didn't want for the wolves

I think we should keep him. He will energize the fan base and improve the rest of the players beyond belief. We haven't seen someone with a talent like him for exciting plays since Pistol Pete. Unfortunately, he can't score like Pistol Pete but he is a hoot to watch. Everytime he gets the ball on the break you are waiting to explode when the great pass comes followed by an easy dunk for a team mate. We are already building a team to match his talents (up tempo) so let's be patient. Nobody else (that would actually come to Minny) will bring so much excitement. KAHN don't trade RICKY unless its for Carmelo or Chris Paul.

Being stuck in Houston? Former N.B.A champ Houston. Fourth largest city in the U.s. Can't compare Houston to Minny.

I was saying stuck in Houston facetiously because the media likes to act as if all that space between the West and East coast is only good for flying over.

Kahn is definitely going to keep Rubio. He has clearly been building this entire team around Rubio coming over for the 2011-12 season.

Minnesota isn't that small of a market either. It's not Houston, but it's not that small. It's in the mid-teens size-wise of US markets, which easily places it in the top-half of the NBA.

Spain dominates Canada 84-38. Rubio had 4 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists. I'm sure he didn't need to play much in this one...

Can't wait to see when the US plays Spain over in Spain. It's only a exhibition game but it will be fun to watch. The player I'm excited to see Rubio go up against is Rondo. Kahn compares Rubio to Rondo and I agree. They way they are built and they way they play are kind of similar.
