Prove it. Will you leave this forum when Ricky Rubio gets here and averages 3 assists and 5 TOs a game?

[Chapallaz]

Let's not. Let's visit the International Forum and post this thread there, instead.

The only way that can be remotely true is if they play in the NBA, and 95% of them won't. the 5% that do will be irrelevant scrubs.

Rubio was one of the worst players of recent years in Euroleague. What is your point?

I think most of the NBA euros will play in this tournament, because they know a lockout is inevitable, so they will get more than enough rest regardless.

That's one nice thing about the CBA getting expired I guess.

Do you think these guys are passing up fat contracts against better competition because their passports are expired? Someone please move this trash thread to the international board.

Rubio sucks. He was easily in contention for being THE worst point guard in Euroleague. Your basketball knowledge is appallingly bad.
