Coming to America: Ricky Rubio
Welp, it’s official. The two-year wait is over and the highly touted 20-year-old Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio is coming to the NBA.
“I have finally decided to start the journey” Rubio stated at a press conference in Barcelona, Spain yesterday. “It’s my dream and I want to fulfill it. After thinking about it a lot, the time has arrived.”
Rubio was drafted back in the 2009 NBA draft with the Number 5 pick by the Minnesota Timberwolves, but his arrival was delayed due to a $6 million buyout clause by Barcelona (the pro Spanish team Rubio played for). Under NBA rules, the Timberwolves could only pay $500,000. The clause was dropped to a more reasonable $1.4 million.
