When the Phoenix Suns signed Ricky Rubio this offseason, Chuck Berry likely wasn’t on James Jones‘ mind, but run with me on this:
Out of all the reindeer, you know you’re the mastermind
Run, run Rudolph, Randolph ain’t so far behind
Question: who’s Randolph? And why is he chasing my dude Rudi?
The last Randolph to play in the NBA is Zach Randolph. If Rubio is having a hard time out-running Zack “The Snack” Randolph, then we’ve got problems.
Judging by the reaction of the Suns faithful on July 8th—the day Rubio was first signed during the 2019 offseason—you’d have thought there was a problem.
