Ricky Rubio Video: Rookie Sensation's Top 10 NBA Highlights

Ricky Rubio has only been with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a few months, but he has already given us numerous highlights.

The rookie sensation has impressed with his court vision, dribbling and his ability to pass with either hand. Rubio is a regular on the nightly NBA highlight reels, making a ridiculous pass, an exciting steal or even the occasional jumper.

This video slide show depicts Rubio in all of his glory, as we break down his top 10 highlights.

10. Behind the Back to Wayne Ellington

This behind-the-back pass to Wayne Ellington shows that Ricky Rubio was thinking ahead and drew the defenders in, knowing Ellington would be open to knock down the three.

9. Remarkable Behind the Back to Love

This pass seemed to take everyone by surprise as it almost grazes the leg of the defender before Kevin Love puts it home.  Somehow Ricky Rubio didn't get credited with an assist on the play.

8. Falling Away Alley-Oop to Anthony Randolph

It's hard not to love Ricky Rubio when plays like this occur. As the double team comes, and Ricky is falling away, he spots Anthony Randolph for the alley-oop.

7. Bounce Pass Between Dirk Nowitzki's Legs to Anthony Tolliver for Three

The play starts off pretty innocently with Brian Cardinal trying to stay in front of Ricky Rubio. Rubio drives and gets cut off toward the baseline, where Dirk Nowitzki is waiting to block the pass. 

Ricky sees the opening and drops it between Dirk's legs to Anthony Tolliver for the three.

6. Open Court Alley-Oop to Michael Beasley

The mark of a great point guard is always having his head up, looking down the court while on the break. 

Here, Ricky Rubio does just that and spots Michael Beasley for the easy alley-oop.

5. Hustling Down Court to Block Danny Green

After the ball gets turned over, Ricky Rubio hustles downcourt and blocks the unsuspecting Danny Green.

I have no clue how Ricky timed this windmill, with his left hand, without fouling.

4. Ricky Rubio Bounce Pass in Lane to Darko Milicic for Slam Dunk

This is one of my favorites because of a very subtle thing that Ricky Rubio does.

Watch as he's about to pass the ball, and the defender turns the wrong way.  Rubio made it look like he was passing it back in that direction to fool the defender, but the ball was going right into Darko Milicic's hands for an easy dunk.

3. Two Handed Reverse Alley-Oop to Derrick Williams

Not to take anything away from Derrick Williams and his tremendous reverse alley-oop catch and dunk, but the pass and communication between Rubio and Williams is awesome. 

A two-handed pass straight up the floor to a cutting Williams who slams it home is just another day at the office for Rubio.

2. Drive to the Basket, Around the Back, Nothing but Net

Ricky Rubio drives to the lane, goes around the back, and puts it in for two. 

Some felt Rubio was showing off, but watching the Pistons freeze as he moved the ball around his back proved that wasn't the case.

1. Ricky Rubio Picks Pockets Then Between His Own Legs to Nikola Pekovic

Watching Ricky Rubio in the open court makes me wish he played for a team that ran more often. 

Here, he gets the steal to start the break and puts it between his own legs to Nikola Pekovic for the dunk.

Honorable Mention : Through Tyson Chandler's Legs to Nikola Pekovic

There are so many Ricky Rubio highlights, and most of them involve passes that nobody else seems to try. 

Whether it's between the opponents' legs, between his own legs, between the legs of two defenders, left-handed, right-handed, bounce passes or alley-oops, Ricky always finds himself in the nightly top 10 highlights.
