    Thanks for giving Ricky the credit he deserves, had it not been for injuries, his impact on the NBA would have been even more profound. I wish him all the best in this new stage of his life.

      He is the 67th player in NBA history with 5160 assists, and José Calderón (another legendary Spanish guard) is the 68th with 5148. Not bad, I would say. @@timboslice8559

    Ricky Rubio is a streets won't forget player. Injuries and other issues probably didn't let him develop the career he could have had but he still had a great career nonetheles. Great player to watch

      I feel like Spanish players are somehow too selfless. They create so much game, give so many passes so smartly, involving their teammates but they don't mind not being the ones to score or even get the assist. You see that on Rubio, you see that on Calderon, Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol and you can keep on going. They could put +20 points a match if they wanted to play that way. But that selflesness is also the key of their internation team. Second best team international country in history after USA by far.
