Rudy on himself: "Rudy is not everyday a shooter. He's defense. He's passes....

"Rudy is not everyday a shooter," Fernandez said. "He's defense. He's passes. He's assists."

I forgotten about that charge he took. He was pretty great tonight. Like he says, he's not all about shots.

 

...I was just about to post his quote [ "Rudy is not everyday a shooter," Fernandez said. "He's defense. He's passes. He's assists." ]

 

I love it.

 

HCP on himself- " He's not just a player, He's not just a GREAT poster, He's the whole package!"

 

Kingspeed is not all posting. Kingspeed is owning. Kingspeed is dominating. The King is the checkmate master.

 

Rudy = ROY

 

He's got some very tough competition for that. Rose, Mayo, Gasol, Beasley and Love are all having great rookie years as well.

 

That's true and it's going to get even tougher when Oden starts playing again! But I think he's going to get a good shot at it. Especially if we play well as a team. Be fun to watch anyway!

 

Best sound bite guy in the league by far IMO.

I score on your face is one of the top quotes ever.

 

wanna put any money on that?

 

i'd say you're pretty much all posting.

 

Rudy's defense is underrated. His feet are in constant motion when he's on the ball, like a featherweight boxer in the opening round. He's always got one eye on his man and one eye on the ball, and although he gambles a little you really don't see him get burned often because he takes high percentage risks. I wouldn't put him as any higher than an average defender right now, mostly because he's lousy at fighting through screens. (Probably played a lot more zone in Spain. Sergio sucks at it too.) But even "average" is pretty good for a rookie, especially one with so many other skills.

When healthy, there shouldn't be a single minute of competitive basketball where neither Rudy nor Roy are on the court. We've got 48 minutes of premium shooting guard play, which is a huge luxury.

 

Actually, it reminds me of....Batum. The press asked him in the preseason what he needed to work on. He said
something like "I don't know". Shooting? "No, I can shoot". Rebounding? "I can rebound alright" Defense?
"I am a pretty good defender". (These aren't exact quotes).

Instead of the usual "I need to work on everything" line, Batum was confident in himself. And this was before
he started playing well in the preseason - hilarious!

 

Yes!!!!!1 Check the sig

 

Yep. That's the one

 

Did you go off your meds again, KS?

 

Wow, I just read that article. If half of our team had the passion he has for the game... we are winning the championship this year. Rudy is the man!

 

I was poking fun at Rudy.

 

I loved that quote. I loved it even more because it is 100% true. He is most definitely not your everyday shooter.

He is your everyday cold blooded basketball assassin. He is like a spanish basketball ninja.

 

Love that. Should be his new nickname.
