Kids, if you ever get famous and have to talk to the press on a regular basis. Make sure that you know your grammar.
Ricky Rubio, clearly doesn’t know the difference between ‘bring this team’ and ‘help this team’. But before I get into the meat of this lesson, let’s get the full picture on what Rubio wants.
“I have confidence that the team wants me but you know in this league anybody can get traded,” said the flashy playmaker. “You don’t listen to the rumours. You just live day-by-day and that’s it.” […] When asked if he wanted to stay with the long-suffering Timberwolves, Rubio gave a firm: “Yes.”
“My goal is to bring this team to the play-offs. It has been my dream for four years. In my first year, I almost did it, but then I got hurt and everybody got hurt too so we couldn’t do it. It’s too early to talk because we haven’t been through training camp yet. The Western Conference is really tough, but we want to dream big.”
Now what he should’ve said is that he’ll help the team. Because we all know that Ricky Rubio is definitely not the leader of that team. He won’t bring anything to the team other than a quick drink break while he’s getting helped off the court after suffering another injury. You can’t lead when you’re sitting on the bench wearing a suit Mr Rubio!
Your goal should be ‘make it to the end of the season’. Don’t even think about Playoffs.
