Doc Rivers Has Hilarious NSFW Compliment for Suns PG Ricky Rubio
It turns out that Doc Rivers isn't the biggest fan of point guard Ricky Rubio. Or maybe he is? We're not sure after his latest comment.
When asked about the Suns' offseason acquisition, he had one decidedly profane comment to share.
Doc Rivers on what Rubio brings to the #Suns: “He’s a clever little fucker.”

Also mentioned how beneficial it is for Booker to play more off the ball.
Let's start with the good of this statement: Rivers did indicate that Rubio is clever, which is quite true when you watch him and some of the high-IQ passes he's been making since he was all of 15 years old playing professionally back in his native Spain.

The second part of what Rivers said, however, might be referring to some of the allegedly cheap antics Rubio has shown throughout his career that clearly get on the opposing players' nerves.
Who else loves the new Ricky Rubio?

Watch him flop then get in Jimmy Butler's face! He also had 19/10/5 vs his old team. pic.twitter.com/28Lo1aCCXn
Just look at how mad he made these Suns players back when he was on the Jazz! They're surely happy they don't have to go up against him anymore.
If you have to cheap shot Ricky Rubio to make a point; it’s time to think about where you’re at in life.

The #Suns might have to go to the G League after this.

It would be interesting to know if Rubio hears Rivers' comments before he faces the Clippers on Saturday. He may do something extra-special if so.
