Full title of this video since YouTube is being a bitch and won’t let me put so many characters in: “Ricky Rubio 17 Points/11 Assists/1 Airball Three/1 Harden Doggy-styled/1 Fourth-Quarter Collapse/1 Early Playoff Exit Full Highlights (4/24/2019)”.

The Jazz were on the verge of getting swept until Ricky “Spanish Sexy Eyes” Rubio decided to stop being “2019 Rubio” and instead was “VINTAGE Rubio”.

Attention Spanish citizenry: I am, right now, enjoying a glass of hot chocolate while snow gently caresses the wintry landscape outside my window. I am snuggled up in a very warm blanket (NOT a Snuggie, how white do you think I am?) with my little kitty purring on my lap. My Christmas tree is bedecked…

Now is the time to begin speculation that Donovan Mitchell isn’t even good. I don’t care that that hypothesis contradicts the eye test, the stats test, and every other test you can come up with. I don’t care that I was one of his staunchest ROY-candidacy supporters last year. What I care about is creating…
