HBD @RickyRubio9!
This is why he was given the nickname “La Pistola” pic.twitter.com/gHNc4aZl23— Ballislife.com (@Ballislife) October 21, 2020
During a recent interview with Cadena Ser, Ricky Rubio talked about his love for the GOAT (Michael Jordan) and growing up wanting to be…black?!?
Seriously! Here’s his full funny quote, translated by HoopsHype:
I was obsessed with Jordan. I just watched the NBA and just watched black players. I wanted to play (in the States) and I told my mother I wanted to be black.
Unfortunately, he grew up to be a couple of inches shorter and a few shades lighter than MJ. He also can’t fly, shoot, or play D like Mike. But thanks to his passing, which earned him the nickname La Pistola, he can be just as fun to watch.
Even when he’s missing wide-open jumpers, it’s hard not to like this guy after reading that quote and watching these videos.
