It’s a bit jarring to learn Ricky Rubio is only 27-years-old. If it seems that the former top-5 has been in our lives for a decade now, well, it’s because he nearly has.
Rubio was selected with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2009 draft, one of two point guards (who could forget Jonny Flynn!) selected back-to-back by Minnesota before Steph Curry. We’ve seen plenty of versions of Rubio over the years, beginning with his time as the Spanish YouTube sensation dating back to 2006. Now older, wiser and heavily bearded, Rubio isn’t long in the tooth.
