Haha

I just read this from my RSS reader, and I was laughing. I love this kind of stuff. I like the trash talking and the hype and what have you. Haven’t had this much fun since Deshawn vs. LeBron, but that was mere comedy.

Jennings didn't exactly dominate

in the Italian League. Playing only 17 minutes a game (mostly garbage minutes) and averaging 5.5 points and 2.3 assists (and 2 fouls and almost 2 turn overs).

Compare that to Rubio’s numbers in the ACB ( a better League than the Italian ). He played 23 minutes a game and averaged 10 ppg, 6.1 asssists, 2 steals (plus 2 fouls and 3 turns).

I think Jennings made a big mistake pulling out of the Reebok EuroCamp – where he could have backed up those words.

About his matchup with Rubio:

Here’s a snippet:

Now to what everyone wants to hear about, the game and the matchup with Ricky. Unfortunately Ricky only played about 8mins cause he’s still kind of hurt from a wrist injury he suffered in the Gold Medal game vs. Team USA, but in just 8mins he showed me a lot. I have a ton of respect for the dude. He’s real mature out there on the court, he has a great feel for the game. He passes the ball like crazy, reminds me of Steve Nash a little bit. Put it like this if he were in the class of 09 in high school basketball he would be the #1 player hands down. No question about it. I can only hope that when Ricky and I one day get to the NBA we can be like Chris Paul and Deron Williams, as our careers take off together like CP3 & D Will’s did. Despite what the critics say that he can’t shoot Ricky is going to be going a Great NBA player someday…he brings a complete game to the table.
