Despite having 27 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists at the time of the injury, Ricky faces his loss like a new challenge: “The regret lasted a day. You have to put things in perspective. Let’s remember that we are suffering from a pandemic. At first I thought, why me? and then I said, they’re going to shit, I’ve been given a year and I’ll come back stronger“.
When you experience a misfortune, you can do two things: ask yourself why, waste time complaining, or look for solutions and take the new path.
As Ricky himself has revealed, they are waiting for him between “10 and 12 months” low until he can return to the slopes and will take advantage of his long absence to be with his family and his two-year-old son: “I know that recovery will be a roller coaster of emotions. I already lived it in 2012 and that’s why I work a lot on the mental aspect, the meditation. Now I want to return to Barcelona to continue the process and for my son to grow up with his grandparents and uncles.”
Ricky speaks from the personal experience, which caused him to lose his mother to cancer and since then he has run a Foundation which raises funds for the prevention and cure of this disease, especially in the youngest.
If they ask about basketball, I will answer. If they ask about vaccinations, I’ll ask them. Confidence in professionals and in humanity
During the interview, Ricky Rubio, 31, also had time to analyze your future: “I have 3,4,5 years left in the NBA and I know that I will return to my best level, but also I would very much like to come back and play in Spain“.
This affirmation of the Spaniard is accompanied by rumors in recent days that place the player in a possible exchange between NBA teams despite the player’s injury, which has stated that he conceives it as “something normal” within the American “business”, but that his adventure in the NBA will go into the background when his son grows up, returning to Spain.
