AKA: Ricard Rubio Vives, La Pistola
Ricard "Ricky" Rubio Vives (born October 21, 1990) is a Spanish professional basketball player for the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Rubio became the youngest player ever to play in the Spanish ACB League on October 15, 2005, at age 14. On June 25, 2009, he was drafted with the fifth pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft by the Timberwolves, making him the first player born in the 1990s to be drafted by the NBA. The Timberwolves had an agreement in principle with his former Spanish team, DKV Joventut, to buy out his contract, but Rubio backed out of the deal. On August 31, 2009, Joventut traded the rights to Rubio to FC Barcelona, and Rubio signed a six-year contract with FC Barcelona the following day. On May 31, 2011, Rubio reached an agreement with Minnesota to join the Timberwolves for the 2011–12 NBA season. Rubio weighs 86 kg (190 lbs.), is 1.92 m (6'3¾") in height and has a 2.06 m (6'9") wingspan. He is regarded by some as the best European guard prospect ever. Rubio has been compared by some to Pete Maravich. Says former NBA guard Pepe Sánchez, who at the time played at the point guard position for Liga ACB rivals Unicaja
