True..but Rubio did not..

For him to say it's a signature move is not cool. And the fact that a lot of Euro players do it just proves that more.

yeah, i saw this video of manu signature move long time ago, the rubio one just came up recently with the exactly copy of the same move.

This one actually wasn't too bad of a post...just acknowledging that other players do it too..though he did prove our point, that it wasn't Rubio's "signature" move.

[porscha]

rubio looks.........dumb:lol

[Obstructed_View]

What's funny is that they cut away and don't actually show "the move". The fact that he starts on the wrong foot doesn't help. There's a vid of Manu doing the same move correctly on Nike's site.

Yeah this kid is like 12. Manu was Eurostepping his mom before he was even born.

FIBA officials allow the Euro Step unless Team USA players try to use it.

Up next, Tony Parker illustrates the "Change Pivot Feet" move.

Followed by Lebron James and his "crab dribble." Now, Manu's isn't traveling...that's not what you're saying, is it?

[Solid D]

Manu's move is very similar to Kobe's long-stride move. Most NBA players travel, especially the great ones. If there is ever a break away dunk, there is almost a guarantee there will be three to four steps taken after the last dribble.

:lol

Spot on. The shit the NBA players cop in regards to travelling from officials and fans around the world is quite unfair considering the amount of travelling in international basketball. Different versions of travelling, but travelling nonetheless.

[Taking it to the Hole]

Manu executes it to perfection while Rubio looks like he is trying to remember the steps.:p:

I don't know what it is but isnt Manu's signature move hobbling to the bench?

I like Ricky Rubio. I think he'll be a helluva player in the league.

FIBA has nothing to do with games in ACB.

[roycrikside]

In the video Rubio blatantly travels. He takes a bunny hop and then two steps. Manu does it the proper way.

[Dawkins]

Who cares about some shitty Nike commercial. Rubio has his biggest strengths on defense, where he has the ability to steal the ball like Payton had and where he's as annoying for the defender as Oberto. Remember, the kid just turned 18 (still has a lot to improve regarding his passing and shooting) and already played three and a half years of high-level pro basketball and an Olympic Final vs Wade, Kidd, Paul, Deron Williams.

That rubio thing stole that move from Manu. He was the first one to complete it and master it.

I can't wait to see him defend the Paul/Parker... it should give us some nice confrontations.

Asociación de Clubs de Baloncesto

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The ACB League (Asociación de Clubs de Baloncesto) is the premier professional basketball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball) league in Spain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain). It was founded in 1956 with the name of Liga Nacional, changing its name to the current one in 1983.
The ACB league, which is played under FIBA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIBA) rules, currently consists of 17 teams, including Real Madrid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Madrid_Baloncesto), FC Barcelona (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Barcelona_B%C3%A0squet), Estudiantes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB_Estudiantes), Joventut Badalona (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joventut_Badalona), Tau Baskonia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saski_Baskonia), Pamesa Valencia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valencia_BC) and Unicaja Málaga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB_M%C3%A1laga).

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

To be technical, it's a mirror-image of Manu's move because he'd be finishing it off the right foot with the left hand, but yeah, get what you're saying.

As for Rubio, I hate how most players today can't hit short shots with their off-hand as it makes the shot more difficult and sets a terrible example for all the kids out there, most of whom seem not to bother to develop their off-hand as well.

How can it have nothing to do with FIBA if it plays under FIBA rules. All he's saying is FIBA wouldn't allow Team USA to do it. If it's following FIBA rules, they do decide what rules to implement, right?

Rubio plays only in ACB and ULEB. There is no relation to FIBA. He only has any part of FIBA when he play in national team of Spain. Same way NBA players only have part of if they play for Team US.

FIBA has just as much control in NBA as it does in ACB or ULEB.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Apparently you do not know what this award even is for. NBA players and NCAA players can also win this award and in fact are even in nominees for it this year. Please explain how FIBA controls NCAA and NBA please.

[Solid D]

You seem intent on making this a ULEB versus FIBA issue, when my point originated from Tim Duncan's disdain for the FIBA rules and officiating crew using FIBA basketball rules in the Olympics. Ricky Rubio played in the Olympic Games in 2008, which in the event Men's Basketball, were played using FIBA rules rather than NBA or ULEB rules.

I'm sorry but if you play basketball on the international scene, one cannot avoid some touching of FIBA...not even ULEB.

[Solid D]

Oh, and by the way, the Olympic Games Men's and Women's Basketball events are filled with teams from FIBA zones, plus the FIBA WC winner, plus the host country plus wildcard teams. As I mentioned they play under FIBA rules.

Spain came from the FIBA Europe zone, but of course you would know this.

FIBA Africa (1 team)
FIBA Americas (2 teams)
FIBA Asia (1 team)
FIBA Europe (2 teams)
FIBA Oceania (1 team)
FIBA World Championship winner
Host Olympics Country
Three (Men) or Five (Women Wildcards

[sook]

Rubio is fucking overrated i don't see what the big fuss is about. He'll be just another Milicic or bogut

[Solid D]

Rubio stole Eurostep like ULEB stole Euroleague name from FIBA. Would somebody get a patent next time, please?

:smokin

[temujin]

As phenomenal as Parker is,
he never played an olympic final at Rubio's age,
letting alone embarassing his millionaires opponents in that game.

Ricky Rubio is the next Tony Parker.

[temujin]

A team led by JJ barea is heading to the playoffs,
and there are people questioning Rubio's ability to make it big in the NBA?

Of course. But still it stands. FIBA is FIBA. It does not control ACB anymore than it controls ACB.

Of course he is very overrated. But I must say he is much better than Rudy Fernandez is. Rudy was also so very overrated but he was not actually even very good player. Rubio is very overrate but also there is much ability there.

I'm not the one who brought up ACB, you went down that road. The comments started out mentioning FIBA, as in international governance and rules...national team stuff...not club ball (NBA or ULEB). It is the Eurostep, not the Euroleague step.

[lil_penny]

I like Ricky Rubio. I think he'll be a helluva player in the league.

Hopefully he somehow magically drops to phoenix and blazers get him for some cash as usual haha.
