fuckyeanba: When Gregg Popovich was asked how Ricky Rubio might adjust to American culture in the NBA, his response made my heart sing. “‘These guys, they travel around the world. They’re more cultured than we are. Everyone acts like Americans are the ones… we have sort of an arrogance about us. Like we’re the cultured ones? Are you serious? Have you watched TV lately? Have you seen what Americans do? How many languages do you speak? And you wonder how they’re going to adjust to our culture? I hope they avoid it and keep their own!’” [Minneapolis Star-Tribune]
