Brandon Jennings was asked by the Sacramento media about Spanish guard Ricky Rubio and how he compares.

Jennings: Well, put it like this: If he was in a workout with me, Jonny Flynn, Jrue Holiday, Ty Lawson, Stephen Curry, he wouldn’t even probably be at the top.

Reporter: You think he’s all hype?

Jennings: Yeah.

Reporter: Because?

Jennings: Because he played in the Olympics, he been playing pro ball since he been 14, so you know, there it is right there.

So he is all hype because he has played in the Olympics and has been playing pro ball since 14? To me, that would be called backing up the hype. Rubio was out there balling with grown men while Jennings was still playing with freshman in high school.

Brandon Jennings is just mad because nobody cares about him, and he had a mediocre season playing in Europe. Rubio is going to be an All-Star.
