Ricky Rubio and Spain have won the FIBA World Cup!

[GreatHILL]

Final score: 95-75 for Spain

Ricky Rubio stats: 20 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast, 6/11 fg, 1/2 3pt, in 22:56 min

RICKY RUBIO IS THE MVP!!!

[GreatHILL]

No Americans on the all-World Cup team: Bogdanovic (Serbia), Fournier (France), Rubio (Spain), Gasol (Spain), and Scola (Argentina). Rubio named tournament MVP

[stalkerforlife]

Rubio exposed as a STAR when real basketball is played.

WOW.

[highwhey]

Rubio!

Incoming xiao to comment on how rubio suppressed Mitchell in Utah.

Rubio exposed as a STAR when real basketball is played.

WOW.

This was always obvious.

You can tell who knows ball and who doesn't when you ask them about Rubio and Rondo.

If they say they suck, then they don't know ball.

[Dr Hawk]

Great basketball player.

Too bad the NBA is not that much of a basketball league.

It's not 1980. Your team isn't going far in the NBA with Ricky that's for sure

Damn rough night for Argentina.

Scola & Campazzo combined for 3-21 FG

Outrebounded by 20 rebounds.

the nba is a joke of a league. real basketball connoisseurs have known this for a long time.

glad the aau scrubs were exposed badly when they were taken out of their 3-pt chucking, no defense comfort zones.

some of these clowns will be making $30-35 mil per year to play basketball but they got sonned by australia, serbia, and france?

the shame of a nation.

[DaHeezy]

Funny how pass first PGs with no range is considered a liability but wins MVP of the world

B-b-but HYPER ATHLETES!!!

Better nutrition and strength training programs!

Better skills *look @ all the 3PTerzzz*

While all that is probably true, it doesn't mean better basketball is being played. Its just different. What we know is it wasn't good enough to beat LOWER tier, LOWER salary european athletes.

Kobe was right. The World's caught up. Redeem Team 1 and 2 barely edged Spain out...with their BEST players. Current NBA rules have deluded people's minds. American fans really think their stars are bad mfkz

Why are we not all talking about teams chucking 3s?

Where are all the analydids nerds?

3>2?



Teams chucking 3s have nothing to do with increased skill or that the line is too close, the issue is and remains only about the defensive 3 seconds, moving screens and touch fouls. Have the same rules in the NBA as in FIBA and no one talks about 3 >2 anymore.

Gasol gets a championship and makes the all-world team for the tournament.


What a summer this guy is just winning at basketball.

I thought there was more movement allowed on screens in FIBA?

What?



That's something you must have read on RealGM.

No, FIBA requires players to stick to one position when screening.. like the rules have always been
