Ricky Rubio loves being Kevin Garnett’s teammate

The stories surrounding Kevin Garnett‘s tutelage and apparent ability as a mentor for young players have persisted for what seems to be forever, but his new/current teammates are singing his praises in the media.

Ricky Rubio is in the Philippines as part of a stop on his Adidas international tour and he was asked about what it’s like to have The Big Ticket as a teammate.

“When I was growing up, I watched a lot of KG’s games and I was a little afraid, so when he came to the team I was concerned but at the same time I was super excited, because I had a chance to play with him in 2012 locally,” Rubio said on Friday, August 21.
