It wasn't ME who said so, it was the math experts and stat junkies that said so. Did the math?
How many close games did we lose. Those 2 points could have been the difference. But whatever.
I already said I liked everything else about his game but his shooting. Why are you still trying to argue with me?

It was probably closer to 3 points. 2-4 depending on the game. Yeah those 3 points could have been the difference in close games. So could an assist, a rebound a steal. I'd love to take my chances with Rubio and his crappy shooting along with his playmaking, rebounds and steals. If you love his game wouldn't you take your chances with that? I wish we had him.

Would you pay $18 million a year for him? And, is he a starting PG for a championship team?
He's not a threat to score, and he needs to be. Even J Kidd figured it out, not sure Rubio can. Lets see how he does in Phx. They have a nice core.

The answer to that question is the same as it is with every other PG in the league. YES!. On the right team.

Not to be an ass, but I can't remember a pass first non scoring starting pg that has won a championship in the last.......10-20 years. Do you have an example?

First of all Rubio does score. He has averaged over 10PPG all but one season of his career and that one he averaged 9.5. 2nd put any player on a good enough team and he will win a title. As for being an ass that is up to you. I'm not calling you one.

I have no idea if I’ll go to that movie, but that trailer sure made me miss KG. We, collectively as Wolves fans, were blessed with that once-in-a-lifetime player. The Big Ticket indeed.

Had no idea that existed either.

Heard about the movie didn't know KG was in it. Was already going to see it but now it's a week one deal.

A team with real shooters in the wings. Not streaky once every other 4th game shooters. Then Yes!

My wife and I have a 15 month old daughter so we don't go to movies almost ever now. However I will have to see that movie some way.

Well, that settles it... I'm planning a trip up to Brisbane so I can have a chance to meet the great man! Always liked Martin, seemed a very humble man.

Is he living in Brisbane now or was it just a weird random purchase for him?

I'm not entirely sure to be honest... I'm assuming he'll be there for at least a little while to finalise the purchase
