EL BLOG ILUSORIO DE RUDY: When I have the ball, I experiment

When I have the ball, I experiment

In this Portland Tribune article some of my story is given. There I am able to say what it is like being of Portland's las más populares celebridades: The most popular celebrities. It was the same for me in Spain, but not the same. My privacy there was given to me more. Here in Portland, not as much. I hear, "Roo-dee! Roo-dee!" and turn my head fast. Is something wrong? No, just a fan. I will get used to this.

Sometimes fans say I am like Pistol Pete Maravich. I am not sure about him. He played for the Polish National Team?

In the article, I talk about my experiments with the basketball. Also, I talk about how Sergio loves to play the karaoke game called SingStar. With the mic, Sergio tries different things and is a better singer. And with the basketball, he definitely experiments too.

What else? I am in my new house and my parents and girlfriend are here with me. My girlfriend Cristina is why I have grown the beard. She likes it. As they say, she is a fashion model. But we are both regular people.

Rudy's Hypothetical Rules of Basketball

1. In ten years, nobody will remember the details of score, assists, or rebounds. They will only remember who won them a chalupa.

2. Any shot worth shooting is worth shooting twice.

3. When not shooting on offense, you should be communicating, passing, and running. Also, yell “Foul!” repeatedly. Why? How can officials summon help if you yell “Good D!” or “Our opponents are superior!”?

4. If legitimately called for a foul, say, “A good call!” (Do this no more than once a game.)

5. When in possession of the ball, have a plan. Further, have a back-up plan, because the first plan won't work (unless you are Brandon Roy).

6. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. (Both Oden and Pryzbilla provide these in abundance.)

7. On defense, ignore words and direct your eyesight to the ball. (Opposing Cleveland, LeBron James told me he would pull up for a jumper. I advanced upon him. Then James drove baseline with great speed. Both of my ankles gave way!)

8. The faster you begin an opponent’s blow-out, the more shots everyone will get.

9. Be polite and professional to everyone you play against. Then destroy them, for they wish to defeat you.

10. Practice shooting in a dimly-lit practice area with someone shouting unflattering threats at you. (I found this useful in Europe, where partial power outages were not uncommon.)

11. You may feel sad about snapping another team’s back with a clinch alley-oop or a clutching 3-pointer. But sadness is preferred to losing. And the winning will then bring happiness. (In the case of defeating the Lakers, the happiness will be most pronounced.)

12. Purple is not my color. (It may not be anyone’s color.)
