He was obe of the greatest basketball players to ever walk on the court. No rings. Dan Marino, no rings. Elgin Baylor, no rings. Ernie Banks, no rings. Gale Sayers, no rings. Dick Butkus, no rings. Karl Malone, no rings, John Stockton, no rings. Todd Cruz has a ring. Happy Hairston has a ring. Don McCafferty coached a Super team has a ring. Joe Altobelli managed World Series team has a ring. SO WHAT'S YOUR POINT? MINE IS OBVIOUS. By the way if you have read several stories about Rubio, there are several "experts" who predict greatness. That said, who cares what is the difference what any of these people say? It all comes down to what the player does when he gets on the floor. How many first round picks have been a wasted first round pick despite what the experts predicted? How about Kwame Brown, Desagana Diop, Steven Hood, Melvin Ely, Juan Dixon, Mike Sweeney, Aam Morrison. There's not enough room on this website to list all the first round busts.
