I'd rather watch an exciting NBA game than a boring European style of play anytime!, anyday! I' not saying RR is not fun to watch, yes he is, but comparing him to LBJ is unfair to the King! About the Athens debacle? All the teams there sent their best players...while the US had a hard time convincing some of the marquee players to suit up...did Kevin Garnett play? Bout Shaq? Kidd? Carter? bout Kobe? What if they played? that was a very young team...their average age would be equivalent to an NBA rookie, they only prepared for two weeks, they went up against teams that has been playing together for many years and were familiar with the international brand of basketball...and LeBron was not given too much playing time compared to Rubio in Beijing...Their coach Larry Brown just didn't allow them to be themselves on the court.....Rubio may have a higher basketball IQ but nothing beats sheer talent....he may have the highest basketball IQ in the universe but that alone cannot stop or outshine someone like LeBron...LeBron is a genius, a wizard in the basketball court...I have nothing against Rubio...I mean he's good...I just want to share my opinion on the LBJ comparison hehe Peace!
