Minnesota Timberwolves point guard/heartthrob Ricky Rubio helped create one of the most adorable moments of the NBA season on Tuesday night when he played a quick game of catch with a young girl during a timeout in Utah. The little girl just couldn’t stop staring and smiling at Rubio and eventually had to be whisked away by the Jazz mascot before she fell even more in love.
Rubio also took to Twitter after the game to confirm that the little one may be gunning for his roster spot sometime soon:
“@ljkaram: @rickyrubio9 QUESTION: did the little girl you played pass with tonight have reasonable point guard skills”yes she had skills
