Bill Simmons owns up about Ricky Rubio
Just as someone said he should earlier following his recent comments about the Wolves.
"I don't know what happened in Europe, just what I see now … and what I see is someone who's a step ahead of everyone else, makes passes that nobody else makes, loves playing basketball to the point that it's actually contagious, aces the "Would You Like Playing With Him?" Test to the point that we should just change it to the Rubio Test, rises to the occasion when it matters (most recently with a game-tying 3 against the Clips with 20 seconds left in the game), beats anyone he wants off the dribble, plays with a Maravichian flair and, for lack of a better phrase, lights up the room. Only in this case, it's usually a room with 16,000 people in it. If you were having a "Which Two Teammates Would You Want to Build Around for the Next 10 Years" argument, LeBron and Wade would be first, then Durant and Westbrook, then Paul and Griffin … and Rubio and Love would be fourth."
Cool.

You pretty much have to
He deserves it.
Maybe it will all work out in the end, but honestly there is almost no predictability to Kahn other than his love for point guards.
I can predict the future using Norm Van Lier's crystal balls.
