If you've been paying attention to Brandon Gallawa's posts and my own thoughts on the draft, then you know that this website has an unhealthy obsession shrine built fancrush (that sounds less stalkerish) for a young teenager from Spain.

No, this isn't an episode of Desperate Housewives and we aren't middle-aged women looking for a reinvigoration from a potential young Spanish tennis instructor. We've caught the Ricky Rubio fever and have constantly mentioned that if he comes to Sacramento, we have to find a way to buy season tickets so we don't miss one tick off the play clock of the YouTube sensation that has won our basketball shaped hearts.

And now, thanks to Sactown Royalty, we have video of Ricky explaining one of his moves, "the Wrap Around." Is this a new move by any means? No, we've seen Pete Maravich highlights of him doing this and we were dazzled by Jason Williams 10 years ago when he was doing the same stuff. But it's funny on some level that they have YouTube videos of Ricky explaining his moves in English.

(And listen to that great English! What in the name of Rosetta Stone has this kid been doing with his spare time? Learning English for his next career move! This kid just went up another notch in my obsession. Seriously, this guy could murder my family but if he did it with a behind the back move, I'd be excited by it.)

Check out the video and enjoy:
