https://www.elmundo.es/deportes/juegos-olimpicos/2021/08/04/610a53f9fc6c8336348b45ea.htmlP. Casi hemos pasado por alto que Ricky acabó con 38 puntos. ¿Cómo puede ser tan diferente al jugador que vemos en la NBA?
R. Son muchos años de comodidad, de confianza, de reconocimiento de su rol en este equipo. Y una evolución mental y técnica en las últimas temporadas que nosotros hemos tenido la oportunidad de disfrutar porque se lo hemos permitido. Sin embargo, lamentablemente, en la NBA, donde hay un número de jugadores impresionantes en su posición, no han sabido cogerle el punto del todo y se le ha encasillado demasiado rápido. Le han hecho renunciar a poder expresar en la cancha sus mejoras en la faceta anotadora.

Q. We have almost overlooked that Ricky finished with 38 points. How can he be so different from the player we see in the NBA?
R. They have been many years of comfort, of trust, of recognition of his role in this team. And a mental and technical evolution in recent seasons that we have had the opportunity to enjoy because we have allowed it. However, sadly, in the NBA, where there are an impressive number of players in his position, they have failed to get the point completely and he has been pigeonholed too quickly. They have made him give up being able to express his improvements in the scoring facet on the court.
So Scariolo does not agree with the label "not a scoring PG".
Rubio has not visited the playoff frequently, but another example of his competitive capabilities, choosing a playoff against Westbrook to get a triple doble:
