There were about 10 exhibitions this weekend, but this one has the best produced highlights (first Rubio sighting!): [video=youtube;J-hV_hNHB1Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=J-hV_hNHB1Q#![/video] (Is there any exhibition that James Harden HASN'T played in?)
Rubio is MADE for exhibition games! If there's a rookie game in whatever season is his first, it should be like, well, when Jason Williams was in it: [video=youtube;m-Vq-DO86RE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Vq-DO86RE[/video]
In his rookie year it looked like Jason Williams would be a great player and I was excited. I think he was in his 2nd year when he embarrassed Payton. Payton was playing good defense but Williams just put on the brakes 30 feet out and wheeled around him. Payton fell down and Williams had his way with him. I think it stunted Payton for life. For years they showed the tape on TV during Sonic timeouts as if it were a dirty film or something. Now that I think of it, that event may be the singular reason for Shawn Kemp getting depressed and overweight and leaving Seattle.
