It’s been an eventful two seasons with Ricky Rubio in a Utah Jazz uniform. Much like the entire team last season, he started out slow and then started playing out of his mind towards the end of the season. His play helped the Jazz work themselves back from a 19-28 record and landed in the playoffs as the fifth seed, matching up against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
He had, in my opinion, one of the most memorable playoff performances in Jazz history in game three of that series. He became the first Jazz man since Karl Malone to post a triple-double in the playoffs, and had an arena full of red, orange, and yellow gradient-based fans chanting his name, “RUBIO, RUBIO, RUBIO as he led them to victory.
