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.

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

Asociación de Clubs de Baloncesto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ACB League (Asociación de Clubs de Baloncesto) is the premier professional basketball league in 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 rules, currently consists of 17 teams, including Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Estudiantes, Joventut Badalona, Tau Baskonia, Pamesa Valencia and Unicaja Málaga.
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.
It have nothing to do with FIBA.Quote:

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.Quote:

I'm sorry but if you play basketball on the international scene, one cannot avoid some touching of FIBA...not even ULEB.
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
Rubio is fucking overrated i don't see what the big fuss is about. He'll be just another Milicic or bogut
