It has nothing to do with Minnesota being cold and the T-Wolves drafting 18 point guards/span.br /br //spanspan style="font-weight: bold;"The Big Picture:/span Thanks for joining us, Ricky.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio: /spanYou are welcome.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span Ricky's not your real name, right? That's like your "American" name. Kinda how the waiter at my Chinese restaurant is named John.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span No, my name is Ricky.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span What's up with tapas? Those fucking suck. Why would I have a small plate when I could have a big one?br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span I don't know.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span Why do you think (T-Wolves GM) David Kahn picked so many guards. That's like really fucking stupid right? He realizes that this isn't fantasy basketball. You can't play 3 PG, 2 SG, 2 C, 1 SF, 1 PF and 1 F/G on an NBA team. I mean, that's even a big fantasy team. But you can't play 10 players at once. That's just against the rules.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio: /spanI'm not sure.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span Do you openly hate Jonny Flynn?br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span No.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP: /spanIs it because he's black?br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span No.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span What's your beef with Minnesota? Didn't you see a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116282/"span style="font-style: italic;"Fargo/span/a? That movie was cool and brought out Minnesota in a positive light.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span I don't think Fargo is in Minnesota.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span No, it is. You're from Spain. You wouldn't know these things.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio: /spanOK.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP: /spanThat part where they put the body in the wood chipper...JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING!br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span OK.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP: /spanOh, dontcha know.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span What?br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span I was doing my Minnesota accent.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span Have you been to that mall? That place is apparently amazing. Like you could probably lead a full, meaningful life if you lived in that place.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span I haven't seen it.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span Don't you think going back to Spain is a bad financial decision? That just seems irresponsible. What if you tear up your knee? What if Jonny Flynn tries to kick your ass?br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span I want to be close to home.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP: /spanWhy'd you call Kevin Love gay?br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span I never did that.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span You look pretty feminine. Did you ever dress up as a girl when you were a kid?br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span No.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span Pau Gasol is also a Spanish basketball player. Have you seen that guy?! Whoa! Do you think he reflects poorly on the country?br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span No.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP:/span For real, what's your name?br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span Ricky.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"TBP: /spanHey, thanks for joining us.br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Rubio:/span Alright.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19679634-1941690171958003474?l=zachls.blogspot.com'//div
