At what point does the the whole "I've gotta play at the highest level" thing just not hold water. I have spent time in Barcelona and Minneapolis. I can't even begin to tell you how much better life is in Barcalona. If I were Ricky Rubio, floppy haired, Spanish, and a handsome, presumably sexually active prospective miultimillionaire, do you know when I would play in the NBA?
Never. That's right, NEVER.
What the fuck is would the point be? Winter in Minneapolis? Maybe be traded to Memphis.... or Detroit or OKC ... Fuck. No.
@Who Wants to Sex Pittsnogle?: I like your point a lot but I think peer recognition and just pure, giant ego for these athletes play a bigger role than you surmised. As a baller in Barcelona he will always be 2nd fiddle to even a substitute on FC Barcelona's bench. Maybe he looks to Gasol and thinks that could be a possibility one day. Serve out your mandatory sentence in a black hole like Memphis and then hop the next train out of town to a bigger city/franchise when your contract expires or a trade.

I'm hoping it's not the same one that Eddie Griffin used.

"We have to speak with the Minnesota people...and see what happens, because, at this time, we can be in Minnesota or another place, he said."
So Rubio's dad quotes himself? Nice work, Jay.

And living in Philly, she handled her disappointment the only way she knew how...by booing Santa.

Really?! Santa? Really?
Sorry, but the correct answer is "... by throwing a haymaker at the girl to her immediate left in the 400 level."
