What makes Ricky Rubio one of a kind compared to other top point guards in history?

way to overrate.

cp3 wasn't playing and mo williams got ejected off a bs tech.

 

If your guard cant make a wide open shot, your team will eventually suffer.... Just watch teams play off rondo

 

lol now Rubio is a TOP PG in history?!

 

you must have not seen much basketball

 

so does kyrie irving

 

he reminds me of a poor man's Steve Nash with more size. I dont think Ricky is as good as a scorer/shooter as Nash but the passing and court vision is right there.

I dont think we can make an NBA comparison for this kid, we haven't had a PG in this league with that size and length, court vision and skills.

 

anybody remember this dude?

 

They were playing a team with no depth and their best player out. And he still got lit up by the other 2 PGs.

Btw I feel sorry for you if that's anywhere near the best comeback you've ever seen.

 

His most direct comparison is Jason Kidd.

 

I know he made a 3 but Nash is someone who shot 50% from the field, 40% 3s, 90% Free Throws, thats some unreal shooting efficiency I dont see Ricky doing that.

 

noo way, Jason Kid was much better on the fastbreak and he was a good finisher in his prime and had a pretty nice postgame. Much better defender too

 

jason kidd is a hall of famer. mark jackson is probably a better comparison.

 

I think that right now rubio's teammates are more responsible for his lack of "skills" at fast breaking.

 

Fair enough but J-Kidd was responsible for guys like Kerry Kittles, Mikki Moore, Richard Jefferson to have a solid playing career in NJ. Even though Ricky made Darko look like an all star tonight with 22 points (props for that), I dont think hes as lethal in the open court as J-Kidd was

 

Rubio is going to be a top 5 PG in the NBA for the majority of his career. He will never score much but I see in his prime routinely 14 PPG 11 APG 1 TO which is great for a PG. He has elite passing ability and he will always make his teammates better.
