    He is a Minnesota fan, his hoops knowledge is terrible to begin with.

    You mean like when you say Rubio is the greatest guard in the nba?

    hes not, hes at the bottom of the top 10

    cp3
    rondo
    russ
    dwill
    nash
    parker
    kyrie

    after that you can make the case for ricky. I can also argue for ricky over parker and nash, mostly because of defense.

    As you seem to use current numbers and stats...

    And look who is ahead of Rubio? Lillard?! Dang a rookie got scoreboard so far this season on Rubio. Shocker!

    Yeah I was looking at his numbers. Not very impressive actually. Any homer that puts stock in a player that shoots 20% from the field is showing their true homerism.

    http://espn.go.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4011/ricky-rubio

    Another silly stat. In Rubio's rookie season; his PER was 14.64. Comparing that to Lillard's of 17.62; we can put this silly argument to rest

    PER doesnt give much props to defense
    which ricky does at an elite level

    Sounds like your "Elite" level comment requires some statistical proof. If you don't have any; then it didn't happen. Thanks for playing.

    In the meantime; check out this amazing Analysis on Lillard as a rookie! A fucking rookie!

    http://www.nba.com/advancedstats/player.html#Damian-Lillard|203081;year=201213;season=r

    If only Minny had the 6th pick last summer. But if they did; they would probably botch it up again. Sucks to be a Minny fan.

    Wow, looking at last season (Rookie Year); his clutch numbers are a joke.

    http://www.nba.com/advancedstats/pl...1112;season=r;splitType=clutch;splitValue=all

    If only he was as good as Lillard

    104 is not an elite level. That was Rubio's defensive rating last season (184th)
