The folks at Gillette definitely had some big ones, when they decided to put Ricky Rubio in their latest TV commercial with Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter and Roger Federer.
I mean... far be it from me to criticize the next Pistol Pete (a laughable idea in and of itself), but does this 18-year old kid really need to be put on that kind of pedestal? Chances are, he'll go back to Spain for another 2 years anyway, and we'll practically forget that he even exists until he makes his triumphant return to the NBA.
And seriously... who is Gillette trying to kid? There's no way Rubio is shaving yet... have you seen that babyface?
