Rubio: It's unfair that players that are fighting to bring Spain to World Cup may not play the event
Rubio: Players should always be allowed to join their National Teams
Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio criticized the FIBA windows for National Team.
The player watched on tv the first two games of Spain against Montenegro and Slovenia. Spain played without NBA and EuroLeague players.
“I was proud to see how hard the players fought” Rubio told Efe speaking also about the cold war between FIBA and EuroLeague with also the NBA players not allowed to join their National Teams. “I think we can cooperate to make it work properly. Players should always be allowed to join their National Teams” Rubio added. “It is very unfair that the players that are fighting to bring Spain to the FIBA Basketball World Cup, won’t play the competition” Rubio ended, considering that if Spain qualifies for the World Cup, the NBAers and the EuroLeaguers will be named to the National Team instead of most of the players that are playing now for Spain.
