Given that it is a repeat of the last Olympic final I'd guess both teams with bring their best effort.

Agree. They are similar except that Rondo knows how to score and Rubio not.

For now, your correct. Rubio is 19 and Rondo is 24 and just learned how to score after 4 years in the NBA. First year Rondo age 20 averaged 6.4 pts 3.8 ast in 23.5 min/game. He numbers weren't impressive as a rookie and people were wondering if he was gonna be good or not then. He has risen each year after in pts/asst 10.6/5.1 11.9/8.2 and last year 13.7/9.8 at age 24 and I believe he will still get better. I believe Rubio has not shown everything he can do at 19 and has much room for growth. But I believe on the right team with the right teammates and offensive scheme (which the Twolves are building) he will become an NBA all-star very quickly. -Pistol Pete 44 forever

I concur. Great comment PerryP!

I don't know how he will penetrate NBA defense to get closer to the basket, but he is already a better shooter than Rondo.

Rubio highlights vs Canada:

Watching that highlight, I just realize what will be the new excitement in the Twin Cities when Rubio is playing here. It's every time Rubio gets the ball on a fast break. Fans watching will be waiting with excitement to see what Rubio will do with the ball. Like right now every time Adrian Petterson touches the ball, because something exciting might happen and that's what Rubio will bring to the Twin Cities.

Yeah, exactly. Yet another reason why Kahn won't trade Rubio.

Agreed. It is poor GMing to build a team with the specific intent of maximizing Ricky Rubio's potential only to trade him.

Can't wait for Target Center to be rocking again when Ricky gets here. It'll be fun.

Boy Wonder highlights vs Lithuania:

!

Ricky's shooting seems to be improved. He looks more confident but definiately a pass-first PG. And those passes OH MY.

I think I most like his attitude. He gets after you and is confident that he can inflict his will on you and you are not going to inflict your will on him. I like that alot. T-wolves needs more of that attitude. 44

Awesome awesome awesome. CW Heart RR.

Thanks for posting 9Deuce.

Nice videos, wow those make me excited. with the athletes kahn is getting and rubio's passing ability is gunna = sports center top 10 every night!
