He’s legitimately been in the spotlight since he was 15, 16 years old.Rubio was like the first European guard to have pre-draft hype. And he had it for like two years before he got drafted.
To this day, I remember watching his NBA debut live. It was so electric and he legit looked like the 2nd coming on Nash:
On a Clippers fan site I used to frequent around that time (ClippersTopBuzz) there was a strong (but minority) contingent of folks who wanted the team to take Rubio 1st in the 2009 draft.Rubio was like the first European guard to have pre-draft hype. And he had it for like two years before he got drafted.
Don't stop believingI remember trying to grow my hair like Rubio but couldn’t because I’m Black.
James “Jimmy” Butler opened my eyes to possibilities that I never knew. POD can rock braids, Donte can rock the taper fade and I can rock da RubioDon't stop believing![]()
Ricky made them T Wolves fun to watch!
Had a solid NBA career but yea he wasn't what he was billed as coming out of Europe which was basically a generational talent.Rubio didn’t live up to the hype. Not a bust but definitely didn’t deliver.

We'd have to wait a few more years to get that in Luka in terms of living up to billing/hype
He was getting 40 and 50 balls overseas. He might have had more hype than Luka. He wasn’t a bum but to end up being an 11/7 guy is sort of disappointing. And he was taken ahead of gods sonRubio had the right play style for the right time…Being a “traditional PG” n fancy passes were still highly valued back then
He did a good job sticking around once he got to the league n the hype was gone tho
Even without the injuries he was just a borderline starter…By the time he came over PG’s were already switching to being high level shooters or attacking the rim relentlessly, things he could never doHis injuries derailed his career.
His development seemed to stall those two years waiting overseas.Had to wiki- forgot that rubio didn’t come over right away
Remember how important he was for Utah in the 2018 playoffs?
They're showing out alreadyThe entire Turkey needs to get it poppin’ with the votes for Sengun. Best player in his class and deserves to be the first all star from there.
