Ricky Rubio, the golden child

Ricard Rubio Vives is called to be the big star of the basketball Spanish, and why not say, worldwide, if he continues his excellent progress.

From the first moment was a precocious kid. So much so that at just 14 years, 11 months and 24 days, it seems to be a gift for birthdays, debut in the ACB against Grenada, Aito Garcia Reneses hand, playing in the DKV Joventut, the team with which militates and from now that will surely give way to the NBA soon.

His most memorable so far was the victory achieved in the final of the 2006 European Cadet. While major were made with gold in Japan, Ricky Rubio scored 51 points in the final against Russia and made a quadruple-double in the match. He finished the tournament MVP, scoring, rebounding, top aide, most steals, most of everything. And all this with just 15. The best was yet to come.

Because next season in the ACB was appointed player last season and this revelation was the youngest player to enter the ideal team of the ACB. Ricky Rubio and points to the No. 1 draft pick in 2010, when I had still 19 years old (the minimum to enter the draft). Among his honors include a championship with the DKV King, an MVP (the younger succeeded by someone in the CPF), leader of robberies in ACB and Euroleague, ULEB champion, young European player in 2007 ... a smashing records .

And best of all, it is not an arrogant player. It seems to go to his head and play every game like it were your last. In the Olympics is showing incredible maturity, so much so that Jose Calderon has ceased to be the point guard of the team. Being the youngest player in the tournament, Ricky Rubio dare yet.
