"He's going to be good," Jason Kidd said of the Kid. "He's getting a lot of attention and he's handled it quite well. The sky's the limit."
Rubio, who is something of teen idol, with his longish hair and wide smile, is being called the Pete Maravich of Spain. He could also be called the Ronaldo of basketball. Like a Brazilian soccer star or Madonna, he can get away with one name: the back of his jersey says simply "Ricky." << ANN KILLION
"He's pretty good." Paul said. "I tried to make him turn the ball over." << Chris Paul,who play in same court
"I was nothing compared to him when I was 17," << Gasol said earlier this month. Gasol was drafted when he was 20. "His maturity and confidence level is extremely high for his age."
Rubio familys apartment in El Masnou, a quiet suburb a few minutes north of Barcelona along the coast. The entire family was there: Ricky, his brother Marc, their little sister, their parents; also there was their three-week old puppy, Chucky. Everyone was speaking Catalan, occasionally veering into Spanish. I speak conversational Spanish, enough to figure out what was being said and to communicate with everyone. Rickys mom went and made us all coffee, which she served in little espresso cups on a big tray. I felt like the third Rubio brother. We shot a ton of photos and all sat around and talked for a while. <<< อิจฉาวุ้ย อยากเป็นนักข่าวคนนี้ แต่ไม่อยากเป็น the third Robio brother อ่ะ อยากเป็นอย่างอื่นมากกว่า เอิ๊กกกกก:P

Family ties :
Fabian Hambuechen is coached by his father, Wolfgang, a former gymnast. His older brother Christian is a former gymnast as well. His mother, Beate, competed in track and field.
Mr. Congeniality :
Full of class and charisma, Hambuechen is known as gymnastics' ambassador and has earned the respect of even his fiercest gymnastics rivals. Hambuechen regularly greets his competitors with a warm hug or a handshake prior to competitions, and during an event he will encourage his competitors prior to their turn on the apparatus, high-fiving them upon a well-done performance. He was voted Germany's 2007 Sportsman of the Year.
From Harry Potter to rock star :
Hambuchen's first major international event was the 2002 Junior Europeans. A head shorter than the rest of the field, Hambuechen stood tall on parallel bars, winning the event. After going through three pairs of contact lenses at the 2004 Olympics, a 16-year-old Hambuechen resorted to eyeglasses for competition, bearing an uncanny resemblance to fictional character Harry Potter. Since winning the 2005 European high bar title, he's ascended to celebrity status in Germany -- and has multiple e-mail addresses to accommodate all of the fan e-mail he receives. During the 2007 Worlds, the mere mention of Hambuechen's name elicited roars from the crowd, and the tabloids chronicled his every move, reporting the latest sightings of Hambuechen and photogenic girlfriend Viktoria, a former ballet dancer. Chevrolet, one of his many sponsors, gave him a car.

Ricard "Ricky" Rubio Vives (born October 21, 1990) is a Spanish professional basketball player. Considered a child prodigy in basketball, Rubio became the youngest player ever to play in the Spanish ACB League, arguably the top domestic league in Europe, on October 15, 2005.[1] The 1.92 m (6 ft 3.6 in) tall Rubio is playing the point guard position for Joventut Badalona in both the ACB and the Euroleague, which is regarded as the world's top professional club annual basketball competition outside of the NBA.

The Western Conference GM calls : "a tremendous talent " His is a double life : high school everyboy by day, hoops Jonas Brother by night.
He could also be called the Ronaldo of basketball. Like a Brazilian soccer star or Madonna, he can get away with one name: the back of his jersey says simply "Ricky."
In the shadow of this basketball bookshelf, he made a strong case that the NBA has evolved from a team game in the 1980s to a more star-focused product today. The Pete Maravich biography was a gift from a local sportscaster, inspired by Rubio's similarities to the original Pistol.
Earlier in the day, Rubio sat on his bed under a Michael Jordan poster. He praised Chris Paul and Lamar Odom, lamented the NBA's emphasis on the individual and blamed poor team play for USA's international struggles. "Basketball isn't one-on-one," he said in his native Catalan. "It's five-on-five, plus the bench."
Rubio has been compared to Pete MaravichFormer NBA guard Pepe Sanchez, who at the time played at the point guard position for ACB rivals Unicaja Malaga
