Rubio get's bizzy ya'll!
[QUOTE=Force]LOL @ it being nothing to see. He said the zone defenses are a part of it and the defensive 3 rule as well. He didn't mentioned the lack of a handcheck, but that's already beyond debate that it's easier for PG's today. I'd like to see how JJ Barea would fare in the mid 90's NBA. Probably he a towel and ball boy. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
Mugsy Bogues had no trouble with the hand check :facepalm . Lets just say I used basketball reference and came up with every players weight and 93.9 % of guards in the 1991 season were under 200 pounds, while only 62.3% were in in 2007. If players today could play against earlier generations such as the 90's, we know who'd win that battle...
[QUOTE=Force]When asked post game last night after the win over the Mavs about how the adjustment is going with transferring to the NBA style and how he has been doing so well Rubio stated that the NBA is "easier" since there is so much more space for him, also that the zone and defensive 3 make is easy for him. You know, the things I've been posted here for years while people here drool over all of the overrated point guards in the league. Apparently Rondo, Rose and Westbrook are better than Isaiah Thomas according to many of the children posting on this board.
He also added that basketball is still just basketball and he knows the game.[/QUOTE]
Rondo, Rose and Westbrook are better than Isaiah Thomas. They are not however better than ISIAH Thomas.

[B]NBA TV:[/B]
"Ricky, what's the biggest adjustment you have had to make from playing in Barcelona, to now playing here in the states?"
[B]Ricky Rubio:[/B]
"It's basketball, so in the end of the day, it's the same thing. But, over here, maybe, you can run more. There are more spaces because there is a defensive 3 second zone.
[B]And it's easy to play here[/B], because of all the spaces you have, and they can't be more than 3 seconds in the zone. [B]So that it looks easier going to the rim.[/B]
