Heh, I'm a little pissed the guy didn't use my Adrien comment. That actually happened.

I suspect someone from ESPN will pick one of these tidbits up and run with it, attributing it to "league sources".

Well done Q well done.

I can't believe people missed the part where he tried to organize an international basketball competition this summer so he could get out of working on his game, but his agent got duped by Fyre festival so Ricky had to replace him.

Q your post was picked up on the Wolves Realgm board...lol lol People were totally commenting like it was real then a couple posters stepped in and ruined all the fun.

On that forum (Assuming they were legit) one poster said the interview was about Rubio the person there basically really wasn't anything about basketball in it.

Q I really hope you created all that interview "translation" because it got picked up by realgm, reddit and rubechat

Well, whoever posted it on reddit (and it had to have been someone that posts or lurks here, right?) selectively took out some of my more outlandish "translations", so the real peddler of fake news is the guy that copied it from here to begin with. It was obviously intended as a joke and everyone that knows me here probably chortled (or just rolled their eyes) and created their own translation or just moved on.

It is kinda eye-opening though how even silliness like that can be twisted and then spread about the internet....

I'll be honest Q you had me going for a bit. I thought at first maybe some of it was real and then you were throwing in jokes. This will provide me even more motivation to learn Spanish. Time to spend some time with Duolingo. Thanks Q.

I am so sorry you guys I thought it was real and took out the Jeff drien comment because it sounded so ridiculous

if it makes you feel any better I am getting my fair share of online harassment from it

Ha, no worries! I'm impressed you fessed up that it was you. It's all just frivolous message board chatter - no harm done to anyone.

Well, at least Rubio still sounds like he wants to be here...
