8 things Phoenix Suns fans should be thankful for this Thanksgiving

Ricard Rubio Vives

Ricard Rubio Vives, known to you as simply Ricky Rubio, has been the catalyst that has propelled the Phoenix Suns to early season success.

He is the primary reason the team led the league in assists for much of the year and his absence is one of the major reasons for the team’s regression.

Thankfully, his back spasms should not debilitate him long term.

What else can be said about Rubio that hasn’t already been said?

From summer praise during his MVP FIBA run, to preseason hype, to sadness when he got injured, to the fact that he loves his mom, Ricky Rubio is the point guard Phoenix Suns fans have been clamoring to join Devin Booker for years and he is finally here.

Thank James Jones, thank the rest of the NBA for not outbidding them, and be thankful Ricky Rubio.
