Ricky Rubio opening an academy for kids in Farmington to fund lung cancer research.

How awesome is that!

That is great. According to the website his mother died last year of lung cancer. She was only in her early 50's and she wasn't a smoker. At $80/two hour practice($320 per month) the cost seems a little steep though. Still cool that he's putting it on and maybe he'll have other Jazz players help out if they have time in their schedule. The website doesn't say that but I could see him lining that up.
 
I remember looking this up when the trade happened:

Rodney should be really benefited by the addition of Rubio. To put this in perspective..

Rodney was assisted most by George Hill (27 times)

Rubio assisted Wiggins 168 times.
Rubio assited Lavine 54 times.
 
All I know is that he makes Gobert look like a monster out there. Seems to have grasped right away that you can't chuck the ball at Gobert's knees and expect miracles. Not sure that Trey Burke or Gordon Hayward ever learned that. . .

Those years were frustrating, but now Rudy can catch the dumb passes and the good ones... so silver lining.
