"Yeah because he played in the Olympics, been playing pro ball since 14, you know there it is right there. His stats you know 26 minutes, having 16 points, seven assists, nine steals in 26 minutes, and you have all that? You know, I really don't know, I can't wait to play him though." Yeah He said Ricky is all hype but then he took it back and said He doesn't know.. Hold On Tommy How Come You Didn’t Just Post The Whole Quote.

Let alone the fact that situational factors like coach, system, minutes are the biggest aspects of determining a PG's success, but we simply just do not know. We have seen some crazy highlights of him, he held his own against our best in the olympics, and he played ball professionally since age 14. We know his IQ is ridiculous, and that's it. Nobody knows that he is 'over-hyped.' Nobody knew that LeBron wasn't 'over-hyped' until he had 25 points, 9 assists, and 5 rebounds in his first game. We should just refrain from making assumptions about Rubio as if we know how good he is going to be. Guys… none of you know that Ricky is over-hyped, or that Jennings is better than him.

Sheff speaks his mind about issues not giving the "politically correct" answers and people in turn think he is a locker room cancer, turns out his teammates love him and the Mets have only gotten better since getting him. So In turn the possible Locker Room cancer remark shouldn't be taken serious because you can speak your mind and still be loved by your teammates.

Here's a guy that donated $50,000 to the earthquake relief in Italy hes a class act.
