At what point during the summer did Ricky Rubio stop looking like a sexy Spanish adonis and start looking like one of the dudes on the covers of your dad’s 70’s vinyl collection? Because he didn’t look like this at the end of last season. I didn’t watch Eurobasket or BallEuro or HoopEuropaEvolved or whatever…

Ricky Rubio 19 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
The reception Ricky Rubio got from the fans in his return to Minnesota was about what I expected. Polite, appreciative, but not roaring or anything. It wasn’t like the KG return, that’s for sure, and that’s how it should be. For those that weren’t paying attention, I have compiled a list of accomplishments the Timberwolves…

Is there anyone on earth who cares that Ricky Rubio has now made 50 consecutive technical free-throws? I’m a pretty big stat-fiend, but I find that that particular stat doesn’t interest me at all. Come back to me when he challenges Micheal Williams’s consecutive free-throws record. That’s a lame one too, but at least it’s…

New strategy for defending Ricky Rubio: since he is now a legitimate threat to hit midrange jumpers when you go under on his screens, why not go OVER the screen and make him drive it to the rack? He’s never been able to finish through any kind of contact. In fact, he’s never been able…

This is not very many field goals for Ricky Rubio. Only two, which means I could have left them out and the quality of this video would remain about the same. A layup, a midrange jumper (the kind he’s been canning regularly for a few weeks now), a bunch of lame free-throws, and that’s it…

Ricky Rubio sat in his bed, a cocoon of pillows propping him up as he perused “Soldados de Salamina” on his Kindle. It was an interesting read, but it was growing late, and he soon found himself having to reread sentences and paragraphs, his mind becoming cloudy with tiredness. He rubbed his eyes, resolving to…

How does the phrase “game-winning free throws” sound to you? Does that sound like something you’d want to watch? You think you want to see a dude shooting fifteen-foot undefended set-shots in lieu of a real game-winner? Does that sound fun to you? Watching free-throws to win the game? Because if that sounds like a…

No, that’s not a typo. Ricky Rubio only got four assists in this game and I still made a highlight video. Four is not a season-low for Ricky (it’s probably be a season-high for Shabazz Muhammad LOL [lots of laughs]) but it’s close; his season-low in assists is three. But he actually made some shots…

When I started making all these Ricky Rubio vids, he was kind of a forgotten man in Minnesota. Kris Dunn stole all his hype, and even though Dunn ended up sucking, he never gave the hype back. Rubio remained a decent player, but the stolen hype left him with a significant downgrade in popularity. So…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 10 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2017)
There are two kinds of Ricky Rubio videos this year: ones where a bunch of his assists are the result of Karl-Anthony Towns shooting only because Rubio passed it to him, and ones where only a few of his assists are the result of Karl-Anthony Towns shooting only because Rubio passed it to him. This…
