Ricky Rubio never knew that he was going to become a professional basketball player so early. Everybody knew he was a great player, but never, in basketball history, a 14 years old player has even practice with one of the top teams in Europe. Ricky and his coaches did not planed him to play at that level. One day, Ricky did a favor to a friend and and went to see his friend's brother how he practiced with the professional team. At that time, the team was suffering many injures and they did not have enough players. The coach saw Ricky and ask him if he wanted to practice with them. He did not even have his shoes. However, another friend of his was there and Ricky ask him for his shoes. He practiced and everybody got impressed by his ability to play basketball with 14 years. Ricky started practicing with them eventually and little by little gaining a spot in that team. A couple of weeks before he turned 15 years old, coach called him and told him that the team needed him because the other point guard got injured. That day he played and actually a lot for a 14 years old player.
