There is been a lot of news surrounding Ricky Rubio and the changes after the draft didn’t go the way he thought. Everyday in Spain, the news changes for the young star. Many teams have been in the mix such as Real Madrid, Barca, Minnesota and Joventut but finally it seems today that Ricky Rubio will sign with FC Barcelona. Of course, this news will probably change by tomorrow. The Eurobasket 2009 Championship in Poland is starting soon and these distractions aren’t good for the player or the Spanish National Team. Hopefully this drama will come to a conclusion. Ricky Rubio is a good player however with all of this good and bad press, what is in for his future as basketball player?
With the marks of top Spanish National teams and figures such as Rafael Nadal who just won the Wimbledon after a 44 year drought for Spanish Players and the Spanish Soccer team who also won the Euro2008 after not winning in the 40s. The national teams for Spain both women and men are hoping to follow in those footsteps in Pekin during the Olympic Summer Basketball Games!
