Lakers Beat T'Wolves, Rubio calmly Blasts USA Though

Ricky Rubio was chit-chatting it up with fellow Spaniard Pau Gasol when Kobe Bryant and him decided to exchange a few words. From this conversation, and after a few NBA games, it is evident that Ruuuuubiiiioooo is going to be a superstar:

Kobe: “You talking about London?” [to Rubio and Pau Gasol]
Gasol: “Oh yeah.”
Rubio: “You’re gonna be there?”
Kobe: “Yeah.”
Rubio: “You know you’re getting the silver medal. You know that.”
Kobe: “Shiiiiiiit! I’m taking bets. If I win, I get the keys of Barcelona.”
Rubio: “I bet what you want.”
Kobe: “I’ll take it!”

Someone tell Rubio he has to play with that 7-footer right next to him this summer. The only weakness to his artistic, and now boastful, game.

Don't know which way my pride is going to go in 2012, USA! USA! USA! or Rubio! Rubio! Rubio! Why does he have to be stuck in Minnesota though. Kahnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Send him to Houston, at least. [Follow me @TravisHouser]
