I remember Jalen Rose talking about his performance in the Utah-OKC series he said " You can't really stop Ricky Rubio because his strength is distribution not scoring he's not someone who will drop a ton of points to beat you but will get his teammates involved throughout the whole game" that's a very accurate description of his game IMO

Rubio was from the Isle of Misfit Basketball Players. Imagine the PERFECT PG in terms of running an offense as well as defending. He has great size at 6-4, is mentally mature, has a fantastic engine and a wonderful 1st step. On top of that he plays with flair. He's just exciting to watch when he has the ball in his hands. Watching him with the ball is like listening to jazz music. He never does the same thing twice, plays by instinct and at least twice a game will make a dribble or pass that will get the fans out of their seat. He's exciting and fun to watch. He should be an all-time great. He just has one problem: he can't shoot. At all. Teams sit back on him and gum up the paint when he has the ball just daring him to take an outside shot. Defenses don't play honest in half court sets because this absolutely wonderful PG will never beat them by takeing any shot outaide of 10 feet. That's Rubio in a nutshell.

I'm not saying he would even turn into a perennial all-star but that first ACL injury definetly changed his career. Go back and look at his games before that injury and he just had a better first step and was quicker in general. He was able to get to his spots much easier then after it. And still he turned out to be a quality starter and somebody I would gladly have on my team.

Still turned out to be a very good, reliable PG with a really great personality. Despite not fully meeting expectations, he didn't let all the previous hype get to him unlike other touted rookies who fell off the league. He accepted his role and contributed. Will always appreciate his time with the Suns, he was part of the magical bubble run. Two major factors that held him back is the injuries early in his career and his consistency in creating his own shot. He did improve his shooting though

It is true that I could be a bit biased as I am from Spain but at the same time I watched plenty of basketball during my life and I haven’t seen too many players like Rubio with regards to playmaking. That is his strong point. It is true that he is not a proficient scorer but he facilitates the game to his teammates a lot. Basketball is a team sport and roles like his are not only very needed but scarce. Not everybody can be MJ or KB, there are other ways to add value to give their teams options to win such as playmaking and that is what really Ricky excels on.

I've never heard concerns that he doesn't work hard or has a bad attitude. And yet he somehow never developed a reliable jump shot, in-between game or finishing package. It's truly bizarre.

But Jonny Flynn was in the same teams (and out of the league by 23) and even he was 54%. TJ McConnell played on the 10 win 76ets and was 58% as a rookie (62% career) So, sure, if he were playing 20 minutes on good teams against backups instead of 30 minutes as a starter I'm sure his finishing would look better.

I watched Rubio for most of his career and here are a couple of things I saw the past decade. 1. He never developed basic NBA shots for PGs. He would blow a lot of layups or get blocked pretty easily. He also didn't have any sort of tear drop/floater and looked awkward around the rim. I personally think that if he developed his inside game he would have been a real threat because of crafty and quick he was. Rubio could always get into the paint with ease. But as soon as he was in there, you'd mostly see him pass it out or settle for a mid range, which he never really consistently hit. He became very predictable and wasn't on par with other starting guards. 2. His situation with Minnesota was just terrible. I loathe Minnesota for how terrible they are not just as a club but more so how bad they are at developing talent. They have had a plethora of talent come and go and non of them could get any sort of success playing for them. But as soon as they would leave... they would have better careers for other teams. Kevin Love, Garnett and Wiggins all became champions as soon as they left Minnesota. Rubio who hasn't sniffed the post season ever went straight to the playoffs with a Utah team that was suppose to be tanking that season. Zach Lavine became one of the better SGs in the league. The history of Minnesota suggets that most of the players they draft, aren't actually bad... they're just not getting them into positions to be succesful. Rubio made strides after playing for his National team more so than Minnesota. 3. Rubio was never a starter in my eyes. The best basketball he played for me was last season as a rotational piece playing starters minutes, ala Manu Ginobilli. His true greatness is getting everyone invloved and that would benefit the second unit more than the first unit. He was also a good 3rd guard in a 3 guard lineup. I've watched him play along side Mitchell, Garland and Booker and all of them benefited from his game. Not just because of his passing and getting his team organized, but more so his leadership. Those guys started hitting their strides in terms of winning when Rubio entered the building. That's not just a coincidence. 4. Injuruies obviously hindered his career. Love the Rubio bounce back stories but as a big fan of his, I kinda felt cheated by the basketball gods. I always wonder where he'd be at if he hadn't torn his acl... hadn't rolled his ankle... Love not breaking his hand during the 2012 season... not re-tearing his ACL after an incredible run last year. Could have been a better story, but I digress. I honestly think Rubio's days are numbered. Returning from injury, he hasn't looked anywhere near the player he was a year ago.. which is obviously undertandbale given the severity of his injury and the balance of this new cavs roster. But with his age, and the Cavs direction, I don't know whether Rubio will still be in the league for very long. Loved watching him play though. I would watch him win or lose.

on point. rubio's game became outdated when he stepped in to the nba court thanks mainly to the guy drafted 2 spots after him and the shift from iso to pace and space. if he played a decade or 2 earlier, he will be in the discussion of the best point guard who ever played the game and another thing that took him down is that fact that when he gets that traction on being the team's no.1 point guard say the suns or the jazz he suddenly gets traded thus starting again on that new team. and at 32 and an allstar point guard in garland, his role to his current team is purely veteran pressence and a backup plan in case darius goes down with an injury

As a Wolves fan, when he came, we didnt put enough effort to surrounding both him and Kevin Love. Never give him a paint protector to roll with him, always bad shooters except Love and a bit ok Kevin Martin, etc. And making REALLY bad decisions on the draft (Khan years 😑) , never listening to a GREAT coach like Adelman...it was rough. And first season, before he got knee injured against the Lakers, he got us over 500 in the lockout season, after one horrible season the year prior and with a team that was fun to watch again. The Rubio-Love conection was great, and it was awfull how we mismanaged both

Not to mention Minnesota was just cursed during those years. Rubio returning from injury.... Love ofcourse breaks his hand and missed most of the 2012 season. But yeah, Minnesota has never had any sort of plan/direction to better their cutlure. They're basically either hoping they draft the next Jordan.

Some of Rubio's internacional achievements 🥈 silver at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, being the youngest medalist in Olympic basketball history; 🥇 gold at the 2019 China World Cup, being the MVP of the tournament; and 🥉 bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He has also won several titles at the club level in Europe, such as the Euroleague, the Copa del Rey and the ACB League. Put some respect in his name

The league changed in ways that his skillset and body type were unable to adapt to. That's the truth, the old heads retired and the math heads moved in. Shoot threes or layups and be bigger than the other guy, that's the formula because it works and guys like Rubio just don't have a job anymore. It's sad, like it was always tough to make the league as a little guy, now I'm convinced it's impossible. There will be no more AI, Nate's or Spuds for the foreseeable future.

If Rubio could have played with Kevin Garnett I. Those early 2000’s he could have helped a lot and fit in. Both defenders and both unselfish great passers for their position and they could have drew in some scoring perimeter player to get them to the next level with that passing. Maybe Wally or Latrell could have shined with those two
