"Golden Boy" Rich Rubio, a former European basketball Grand Slam prodigy, announced his retirement from the NBA!!
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Rubio had a brief confrontation with Chen Jianghua, who was also a talented teenager and known as the "domestic golden boy", and Chen Jianghua and Rubio appeared at the same time at the end of the first quarter.
As soon as Chen Jianghua got on the court, he was stolen by Rubio, and Rubio ran for a long distance alone, and began to accelerate in the backcourt of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Although Andy was deflated, but in the process of returning to defense, Chen Jianghua, who is known for his speed, did not fall behind at all, and followed Rubio's footsteps closely, at the moment when the golden boy wanted to go to the basket, Chen Jianghua suddenly flew up and dropped the goal.
Seeing that the duck in his hand flew away, Rubio also shook his head after landing. This back-and-forth two-goal is also one of the few direct encounters between the two talented teenagers. Some of the two are quite similar, but Rubio has gone further~ Injuries are always the natural enemies of athletes.

In the 2022-23 regular season, Rubio played in 33 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 5.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 17.2 minutes per game. Best wishes Rubio well and I hope all the best for the future!

Ricky Rubio's career legend
Ricky Rubio was born on October 21, 1990 in El Masno, Barcelona, Spain, and Rubio's mother, Donna Wives, was a former basketball player. Donner and her husband Esteban are extremely strict with their children, while Rubio is also very obedient and rarely goes against their parents' wishes. Rubio's achievements in basketball today are inseparable from the careful cultivation and hard work of his parents. On October 15, 2005, Ricky Rubio made his debut in the Spanish Basketball League, becoming the youngest player in the history of the Spanish Basketball League.
In the 2006 men's U16 European Championship, that was Rubio's first well-known tournament, in the semifinals against Croatia, Rubio contributed 19 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists and 11 steals of the super quadruple-double, the final against Russia, Rubio used a half-time three-pointer to drag the game into overtime, and contributed 51 points, 24 rebounds, 12 assists and 7 steals, helping Spain successfully crowned the MVP of the European Championship, on October 24, 2006, Rubio made his debut in the European League, averaging 3.45 steals per game in the season to lead the league.
The first time I saw Rubio, it was the 08 Olympic Games, as a person under the age of eighteen, he was able to be selected for the Spanish national team and compete in the Olympics with his big brother Gasol, what a high honor it was, and his handsome and sunny face was full of vitality.
Rubio debuted very early, and he was definitely the "King of Yan" back then, which made people's hearts overflow. And as he continues to grow older, Rubio begins to calm down, and even grows a beard, and now he is very different from what he looked like when he debuted.
On June 17, 2011, Rubio officially joined the Minnesota Timberwolves. 4 years 16.29 million US dollars, signed on 5/31/2011, expired in the summer of 2015. Rubio announced his retirement, ending a 12-year NBA career. The golden boy of the golden generation of 09 attracted countless fans back then, I wish you all the best.

The first impression of Rubio is still the young genius basketball boy on the left of the picture, time flies, I have to sigh, in addition to looking like an uncle, I didn't expect to choose to retire from the NBA at the age of 33......
Maybe his highest moment is still staying at the sharpness of his debut, but the professional players who can establish themselves in the United States are the top in the world, and I wish him all the best in the future
In November 2014, Rubio signed a four-year, $56 million contract extension with the Timberwolves, and in 2017, the Timberwolves chose to trade Rubio to the Jazz. In 2018, the Sun handed over a three-year, 51 million contract.
In 2022, perhaps because of Mitchell's joining, the Cavaliers offered a three-year, 18.4 million contract. The 33-year-old Ricky Rubio, who is 1.88 meters tall, was selected by the Timberwolves with the fifth pick in the first round in 2009 (the '09 draft was full of talents, including Curry, Harden, Griffin, DeRozan, Holiday and Beverley, Evans, etc.), officially joined the NBA in the 2011-12 season and was named to the All-Rookie Team in his first season.

In the 2022-23 regular season, Rubio played in 33 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 17.2 minutes per game, contributing 5.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists. The Cavaliers have reached a contract buyout agreement with Rubio that could potentially end Rubio's NBA career, Woj reported.
Subsequently, Rubio also announced on his personal social media that he officially retired from the NBA. "Today I want to release this news for all of you because my NBA career has come to an end. It all started in June 2009, on draft night in New York. What a dream!
After 12 years in the League, with all the ups and downs, highs and lows, I have gained many fond memories and many great connections. Minnesota, Utah, Phoenix, and Cleveland, thank you!"
The former golden boy, due to my mother's illness, made me suffer from depression. It's a shame, I hope Rubio's life after retirement will be wonderfulRubio has been away from the Cavaliers this season to address his mental health issues. If Rubio returns, it will most likely be his native Spain. The 2009 generation of golden boys also retired......
"The walls of the apartment I live in are so thin that I can hear my parents crying every night, they can't sleep, and I don't sleep. "There are countless stories behind each person, and this is Rubio's story. Rubio's wife's name is Clara, a famous Spanish actress with a very high appearance and temperament, but this is not surprising, after all, Clara is an actress. wife Clara Lago's representative works include "The Dark Side" and "The End of the Tunnel", which have a good reputation, after all, she is an actress, and her appearance is naturally not lost to Booker's girlfriend Jenner.
It is worth mentioning that Rubio's predecessor is also the best, when Tamara, known as the goddess of basketball, has played a good personal data in the NCAA arena, and has naturally been selected for the Spanish national team, but this basketball fairy couple did not go to the end.
