Rubio is Spanish for Overrated
What is the deal with young athletes these days? I am so SICK of these college and high school phenoms coming to the league like they are owed something. Earlier this year it was Michael Crabtree in the NFL draft refusing to sign with the 49ers until he receives an unspeakable amount for a rookie and now its Ricky Rubio from Spain with the NBA. He throws a little temper tantrum (similar to Brady Quinn a couple of years ago) because he is not drafted first. He was drafted fifth overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fifth!!! What a whiney cry baby! He is 18 years old and gets an opportunity of a lifetime to play professional basketball in the NBA and make millions of dollars. What is it with young athletes' egos these days? It seriously drives me nuts! Maybe its me getting older, but it is pathetic. Prove yourself on the PROFESSIONAL STAGE first and then demand the extra money. You do NOT mean anything until you prove it at the professional level. Players in the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, etc. are the best of the best in the world. They are not really too concerned what you did in college or high school. How phenomenal you are in college and high school play is important to get you to the next level. It does NOT guarantee you are going to be a stud at the professional level. As far as Rubio goes, go back to Spain. We do not need you here in the NBA. There will be someone better that comes along. The NBA is already filled with phenoms like Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Kevin Garnett, Chris Paul and so on. Stay in Spain Rubio. Be the stud in Spain where ONLY the Spanish/European fan base will care to follow you. Go have a lunch date with Crabtree and talk about how you guys are better than Michael Jordan and Jerry Rice respectively. You live in a dream world! Wake up and be grateful for the opportunity to even be a part of the professional stage! I am done venting. Tell me what you think. Am I a grump or am I speaking the truth. Peace!
