Ricky Rubio - Take the Money and Limp

[perik777]

Excited to get Rubio back. This was a great read, but this little section had me dying laughing.

i used google translate...it was too long to do it myself

When Ricky gets back he needs to be treated like a vintage Ferrari. No need to beat the crap out of him. No driving over potholes or taking him over redline too many times.

Kobe: don’t go trading LeVert until Rubio shows he can still get it done!

Practicing with them. Full practices.

rough translation says he's coaching...lol

Ricky Rubio has been assigned to the G League to coach with Cleveland Charge, the affiliate of the Cavs... Good sign for his return to the courts

“Entrenar” actually translates as ice-climbing. It’s a very niche word, term of art associated with the famed Castilian Spanish ice climbers.

I only know this because my Uncle Rodrigo “El Monstruo de Hielo” Casaburo had many stories to tell about them.

That’s odd.

Ricky to the G-league ? FML. never thought I see this day. First they bring him off the bench, now this...

Many people are saying that the backside of Sierra Blanca can be very slippery this time of year. It should be excellent training.
Really looking forward to Ricky's return.

I hope so. It's SIXTEEN DOLLARS to sit center court lower level. I bet Ricky could make a G-League game entertaining as hell. Nutmegs everywhere.

I doubt your uncle. Google translate has:

Ricky Rubio has been assigned to the G League to train with the Cleveland Charge, the affiliate of the Cavs... A good sign for his return to the courts.

entrenar=train.

I checked with my uncle. It’s afternoon there in Spain and he was overjoyed to hear from me. He is a widower now and he holds our conversations dear.

We spoke first of the weather and then of his work (he owns a winery) and then eventually we got to Ricky.

He loves Ricky. He can’t say enough about him. Speaks of him almost as a nephew.

When I asked about the meaning of the word, it was as if he was expecting the topic to come up. Like a great defensive player who had watched hours of tape on my best moves.

His brow furrowed and his lower lip disappeared beneath the top, as I’d seen only twice before during our phone conversations I so enjoyed.

I could see his leathery hands as with his right he resettled his half filled glass of Rioja Gran Reserva and with his left he took a great pull on his Cuban cigar. He began nodding his head, at an increasingly sharp rate. Then he was grating his jaw.

I regretted asking the question.

He squinted his eyes, not at me, but at a distant memory. “Google,” he said, “no SABE una MIERDA SOBRE el monstruo de hielo.”

As he said those final three words, he raised his glass up toward the sky.

He waited for his words to settle in, as if they were a fly landed suddenly in a glass of wine made of bitter, unripened grapes.

I sat silent in my office.

“Aesa es la palabra que usábamos en las montañas.”

With every fifth syllable he pounded the ceramic table, ejecting cigar ash and wine into the air.

He widened his eyes and tilted his head, awaiting my reply. I could see tears threatening to pour from his eyes.

I had not noticed that the cigar and wine were out of his hands now.

“Te amo sobrino,” said my uncle, with whom I had spent so many summers working the fields.

“Pero por favor, nunca más.”

I ask you @jjvors , what shall I tell my uncle now?

I don't know who changed the thread title. Pupusas are from Central America (especially El Salvador where its the national dish). That said they are really, really, really good and I encourage everyone to find your local hole in the wall Latino restaurant and get some.

 

[RubioFanLifer]

New title is pure bigotry.
